BMW E46

Issues: Heavily contaminated from daily driving/storage. Surface scratches present. Blemished leather interior and contaminated wheels. Interior and exterior plastic trim worn and discoloured.

Solution: Paint decontamination using a safe wash method with Feynlab® Wash, all panels were then de-tarred using Krystal Kleen Detail™ Tar-Off followed by Krystal Kleen Detail™ FeRRUM fallout remover and the final step was to use a dedicated clay sponge and detailer spray to remove any remaining surface contaminants. Feynlab® Ceramic Lite was then applied to the body. Krystal Kleen Detail™ Revolve X was applied to the wheels to provide many years of protection and Feynlab® Plastic Black was added to the scuttle panel, dash and door cards to prevent U.V. breakdown of the plastic for many years to come!

Result: Paint surface restored to gloss finish. Interior left contaminant-free. All plastics are protected with Feynlab® Plastic returning the black plastic to factory black. The ceramic coating was baked under infra-red light to harden the finish.

Feynlab® F500 Heavy Cut was incorporated with a heavy cutting pad which was used to brighten the paintwork to a factory-fresh finish. To increase gloss we also used Feynlab® F500 Medium and F1000 Final Cut. The interior carpeting and boot area had a deep clean with the leather getting a deep detail using a dedicated leather cleaner from Krystal Kleen Detail™ Lush Leather and Cream before being finished with Feynlab® Leather. The paintwork now exhibits excellent hydrophobic characteristics which allow water and dirt to slide off the paint and wheel surfaces instead of sitting and leaving watermarks or possible etching.
