This 4 Series GranCoupe came in for some work to bring some gloss back to the Individual Tanzinite Blue paintwork.
While the car was here, genuine BMW side fins and a carbon fiber front splitter were fitted too
The order of the detail...
Full Auto Finesse safe wash and decontamination process,
Enhancement Detail - single stage machine polish,
Ceramic Pro Light - 24 month ceramic coating,
Engine bay detail,
Interior clean and leather protection,
Fitting front splitter and side blades.
Onto the car.

Auto Finesse Iron Out dissolving the built up brake dust.

With the car clean, tar and iron fallout removed - it was then time to clay the car before being dried and all the water traps blown out.
Then onto polishing.
The car received a single stage machine polish, some deeper marks and scratches will remain.
