ctuna Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 (edited) I have done light detailing before using a clay bar and buffer and Klasse . My car is a 325xi bmw 06 wagon. Wanted to try the ceramic thing and not deal with coating to often. Did the entire process probably put in 12 hours total. Wash and Iron x . I was somewhat scared of this stuff l left it on for the 5 minutes and hosed it of. Couldn't see much color on the paint but hosed of water was purple. Wash and Clay bar this took about 3 to 5 hours . Clay bar seemed to slide a little easier maybe because of the Iron x , easier than the last time I clay barred. Wash and polish this was the most labor intensive part of the process 6 to 8 hours. Wash and use the Prep Solution and Apply the Grahene/Cermaic Coat. This went pretty easy it rainbowed and I timed it for 1 minute then lightly buffed it and came back with a final buff. Got tired and sloppy toward the end with that process and had a couple of smugged spots that I noticed the next day but I could take most of them out with a cloth buffing a couple I had to use might lightest rotary buffing pad by hand. It's been 24 hours did the water test on a small section amazing water beading . Also found the UV light quite useful for finding missed spots.

ctuna Posted November 28, 2021 Author Share Posted November 28, 2021 (edited) Did this in the driveway when it was shaded at 70 degrees and less the 50 percent humidity . Put in the the one car garage overnight . Awsome water beading . These pictures are with about 2 days outside. Did one process per day over about 4 days washing in between . (So as not to burn out and start screwing up) 1 wash and Iron x maybe 2 hours 2 wash and clay bar maybe 2 or 3 hours 3 wash and polish. 6 to 8 hours 4 wash use prep and apply graphene coat. 4 hours Front Fender is freshly replaced to I can't do that for about 90 days. 2006 325 xi bmw wagon Edited November 28, 2021 by ctuna tlbullet and Trap 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trap Posted December 22, 2021 Share Posted December 22, 2021 I'd say it turned out really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctuna Posted January 8, 2022 Author Share Posted January 8, 2022 I am pretty happy with it so far. Not bad for a 16 year old car. Lots of work but if it last a long time worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
