Ferrari Red BMW M3 gets a new car prep and Nanolex SI3D HD Ceramic Coating
2016 BMW M3 in Individual Color - Ferrari Red gets cleaned up for Nanolex SI3D HD Ceramic Coating
Most will ask why would we need a "new car prep" when my car is new....hopefully the below will answer some of your questions. What is new? We consider a new car is new up from 50-100 miles or 1 month after purchase. What is done?
Nanolex SI3D and HD Based on its unique Si3D technology, Nanolex Car Care offers a range of products specifically developed and designed to fulfill the highest demands and needs of our professional customers. The Nanolex Si3D molecules - precursors of ceramic and hybrid materials - consist of silica, nitrogen, hydrogen and organic compounds such as carbon. These high-performance polymers are all solvent and fluorine free. The additionally-implemented thermoplastic component forms an incredibly hydrophobic, flexible, cross-linked matrix to give an outstanding hardness and durability. Nanolex Si3D is extremely weather and chemical resistant, which in turn provides excellent corrosion protection with easy-to-clean properties. Nanolex Si3D can also increase the total hardness of the paint to up to 9H+, adding a clear coat with a color-darkening effect to the treated surface. Depending on the number of applied layers of Nanolex Si3D, the thickness of the coating can vary. The coating thickness, combined with the sophisticated structural nature of the Nanolex Si3D matrix, make the coatings resistant to abrasion caused by frequent washing and resistant against most chemical substances. An important part of automotive coatings are solvents. The liquid consistency, viscosity and volatility of the product is highly dependent on the used solvents. Nanolex Car Care do not incorporate any aromatic solvents in their product formulations, due to the high potential of ‘hazardous-to-health’ character, thus making them safe use in an enclosed environment. The Si3D coatings have very good ‘solvent release’ properties - about 90% of the solvents will evaporate during the first 24 hours, with the remaining 10% evaporating within one week. Please take note that solvent evaporation is also greatly dependant on temperature and weather conditions. Nanolex Car Care do not incorporate any aromatic solvents in their product formulations, due to the high potential of ‘hazardous-to-health’ character, thus making them safe use in an enclosed environment. Unlike traditional protective coatings such as car wax and conventional polymer coatings, where the protective efficiency decreases with time, and from using degreasing or alkaline detergents, or because of mechanical removal, Nanolex Si3D coating exhibits outstanding durability and a tough insensitivity to abrasion from frequent washing and the use of strong alkaline or acidic detergents.

I saw my first in-person Ferrari Red F8X at the BMW M School in Thermal this past weekend. Looks great; not as ridiculously bright as it was made to appear in the pictures I had seen previously. I had to pop the hood to confirm it was indeed FR.
Great job on the detail.

What a great post, thanks for doing all this, and I wholeheartedly concur with "what to look out for from the dealership...." I should have specified "don't touch my damn car" in the sales contract.

What did you do on the carbon roof, was wondering about a ceramic coating on mine for long term protection.
