Hey everyone, This car is an early 2000's BMW 750Li. It boasts a V12 engine, active suspension control, and a super luxurious interior. It's personally one of my favorite BMW's. Well anyways, I have previously detailed this car a few months ago and it had already been messed up by the weekly car wash guys. I decided to do a two stage correction using Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Strong with a Swissvax Orange pad followed by Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional and finished it off with Swissvax Shield PTFE wax. I am starting to like Swissvax Shield over any of my other waxes. This wax gives a shine like no other and nothing sticks to it! Washes are so much easier and faster with it. I also did a full interior detail using leather masters products and 1Z cockpit classic (not cockpit premium). The engine was cleaned with 1Z Blitz and finished with 1Z Vinyl and rubber Protectant. The exterior plastics and rubber trims and seals were treated with Swissvax Protection and 1Z gummi Pflege. The wheels were treated with Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Medium and Swissvax Autobahn. Anyways on to the pictures. you can clearly see how a dirty rag or wash mitt made these swirl marks. oops i guess the weekly car wash guys this customer uses missed a spot! more siwrls some deeper scratches... thanks to the weekly washers... dirty engine Polishing... Running low on Cleaner Fluid Professional! Time to get some more Here's how the hood looked after a single pass with Cleaner Fluid Pro 50/50 I used Cleaner Fluid Strong with a swissvax orange pad to remove the deeper scratches. Finished it off with Swissvax Shield The Interior wood needed some work. I used Cleaner Fluid Medium and finished it with Swissvax Shield. Finished! Thanks For looking!

That black paint in the afters looks utterly amazing! This has to be one of the best show and shines I've ever seen
I didn't know the cleaner fluid was able to cut swirls. You used the orange pad with Strong, what did you use with Pro? Nice work man it looks great.
What would you compare SV Medium/Strong/Pro to compared to Menzerna or Scholl polishes? (Cut and performance wise)
Damn you...this thread has me wanting SW shield. I already had my eye on it, and it would be my most expensive wax to date. souveran was my only "high end" wax 'til now (was a little disappointed)
I would compare strong to SIP, with a bit more cut, and it finishes down about the same. Professional has the cut of Power finish, maybe a little more, but finishes like 85RD. the way you use the polish is like the 1z polishes, at low rpm( max rpm is about 1000-1200), little pressure, and slow movement. The key when using Swissvax polishes is to avoid heat because then the polish will just flash from the paint and you will be buffing it dry. Also CF pro has a 30 second work time, and if you need to work a section longer just a quick spray of water will do the trick. Another cool thing about the polishes is that as long as you protect all the plastics and rubber with Swissvax protection you don't need to tape anything because te Swissvax polish won't adhere to Swissvax protection. In addition you can go straight to the wax after polishing! Saves you time instead of applying cleaner fluid by hand.
Came out great! How did the center console turn out after CF? It would be great to see a pic, thanks.
the only pic i took came out blurry and you cant really see the result... it came out slightly better. it gave it more gloss than it took out the scratches, but they were very deep...
