Bradan E39 full detail and powder coating.

The following shows our standard full detail service and wheel powder coating. The vehicle is a 2003 E39 M5 with 100k miles that needed a full clean up and wheels refinished. It will be complete by Friday and give you an idea of what's involved in our package detail.

Stage 1: Prep

The vehicle is washed and clayed outside. We then bring it into the detail bay to blow it dry with 120 psi compressed air.

Stage 2: Disassemble and tape

With the surface prepped; wheels, headlights, and tail lights are removed. The body moldings are tapped off for protection.

That car did not need a full detail before, imo! One clean car... going to look even cleaner after this. Awesome thread, subscribed.

BTW - what the heck happened to that chipped/cracked wheel?

Wow...looking forward to the finished product. Man, the wheel with the cracked finish is bad - hopefully it had already been refinished once. The paint on the car looks pretty good pre-detail, so the owner must have maintained it. This detail must have been commissioned by the owner, as no dealer will go to this extreme! It reminds me of what I might do for my car should I decide to keep it after 100k (and I think I will - 66k currently after 6 years of ownership, acquired with 20k) - IF I could find a local company that did this type of work.

I assume you are board sponsor - welcome, as I haven't heard of your company before.
