2015 BMW M3 - Mineral Gray - New Car Prep - Modesta BC04

Detailers Domain · 05-28-2015, 07:55 PM

2015 BMW M3 - Mineral Gray - New Car Prep - Modesta BC04 - Next Level Coating

We received this brand new 2015 BMW M3 in the best possible way - directly from the customer immediately after it was delivered. Even better the dealer did not touch anything - all the wrapper was still on the car! Note: If you can ask for the delivery of your new car in this form the shop handling your new car prep, coating, and/or paint protection film installation is ahead of the game. The only thing better than this situation would be that the customer would have flat bedded the car to us.

Take a look at how we feel a new car should be delivered.

Here is a list of products used on the interior.

1Z einszett Cockpit
Leather Master Strong Cleaner
Leather Master Barrier
Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner
1Z einszett Gummi Pflege Stift Rubber Care Stick
Metro Jumbo Vac n Blow
Uber Leather and Carpet Brush
Uber Microfiber Towels
Uber Microfiber Applicator Pad

Products used on the exterior:
Adam's New Car Wash
Uber Clay Bar
Sonax Fall Out Remover
NanoSkin Tar Solvent
NanoSkin AutoScrub Mitt
Sonax EX0406
Modesta Primer 01A - Modesta Pro installer only
Modesta BC04 - Modesta Pro installer only
Adam's Super VRT
Auto Finesse Crystal Glass Cleaner

Tools used
Metro Jumbo Vac n Blow
Uber Leather and Carpet Brush
Uber Microfiber Towels
Uber Microfiber Applicator Pad
Uber Quick Detail MF Towels
Uber All Purpose MF Towels
Griot's 3 inch Random Orbital Polisher
Rupes BigFoot LHR 21ES Random Orbital Polisher
Rupes BigFoot LHR 15ES Random Orbital Polisher
Uber Buffing Pads
Defelsko Paint Meter
Fenix TK35
2 Grit Guard Buckets with Caddies
Adam's Firehose Nozzle
Metro Air Force Blaster

The ideal situation for us would be to have every new car delivered to us this way - all wrapped up from the factory. No dealer installed paint imperfections.

Here we go, nothing like removing the wrapper off a brand new car!

Interior gets unwrapped

All the wrapper removed and adhesive cleaned off the paint

Next up into the wash bay for a nice wash - pre soak, wash,decon, clay, wheels and tires

Uber Super Drying Towel soaking up all the water for a nice dry.

Clay bar

Sonax EX 0406 used to polish out any light paint imperfections before we move into the Modesta application

Looking quite nice after a the paint prep - Mineral Gray M4 in the background ....

Modesta Primer P-01A applied now we wait for the 3-4 hour cure time prior to Modesta BC-04

After the BC-04 is installed we cure the paint under heat lamps.

After Interior shots

Final shots of the exterior

Outside shots - Hard Candy Shine! Some amazing depth, gloss, and clarity after the proper prep work and Modesta!

Hope you enjoyed this one as much as we did.

That hard candy shell that Modesta leaves after a proper install is incredible.

Amazing work, as always... beautiful f80!

I'm curious...if someone was going to do a clear wrap on the front, is the modesta applied before the wrap or on top of it? or is a wrap overkill?

Detailers Domain · 05-28-2015, 09:42 PM

modesta would be on top of the clear film - we do this all the time.

silency · 05-29-2015, 04:40 PM

Damn that looks wicked. I have the same car and color combo. Would love to see mine shine mirror gloss like that.

Vectors2final · 05-29-2015, 07:09 PM

Nice!

That car must have been sitting for quite some time, unless it was delayed at port or something based off the last seven of the VIN.

Heh, I was thinking the same thing! Took delivery of mine mid April and it was way past that VIN. Hey Phil, is there any other type of coating or wax I can put on top of Optimum Gloss Coat for example besides a detailing spray?
I did the Optimum myself and it came our great but I guess I'm just looking to make it even better if that's possible. I used their no rinse wash and wax and that did a pretty decent job. Thanks!

davidbitton · 05-29-2015, 09:42 PM

I've put about 2300 miles on her since Phil performed his magic. A couple times she became way dirty, but she cleans up like a charm. Thanks Phil!

Looks stunning.. Here is a general question.

I have about Modesta and Ceramic Pro 9H . Can you clay bar( or Nano skin Clay Mitt) the car or what is the best method of removing/ avoiding waterspots.

I have Ceramic Pro 9h and man does it work, but it results in some waterspots after it rains on a sunny day. Is Modesta the same?

Waxes and the sealants I have tried to add extra layers of protection don't stick and cause more cleanup on the windows once it rains.

What's the best method of extra protection or products?

Xtabi · 05-30-2015, 04:02 AM

Looks fantastic!!!! Otherworldly to be more precise!!!!

That is the same color combo I am ordering. Glad to see it look so good!

I may need to hit you up when my car comes in for protips!

abnorM4l · 05-31-2015, 05:54 PM
