BMW M5 F10 Paint corrected and protected by Opticoat by Seech & KC the Detailien

[kc2]

We drove off before dawn to reach to detail this awesome ultimate M5....

A dream ride


ladies & gentleman presenting you the first Ultimate M5 ...and opti coat......

Looking at this beautifully crafted state of Art - driving Machine - is breathless


2 weeks ago


She must be HOT - a total of 12 inter coolers & coolers locate the front of the bumper



The Colour looks awesome




only dust stains from rain


bugs stains

2 ways to dealt with - never uses aggressive remove/cleaning esp on the paint - 2ndly the acid juice stains will certainly sticks well, try Alien Clean

2 x Twin Tail helps this monstrous to deliver 560 Bhp


the huge 20" wheel


6 pots piston brake calipers


resulting enormous brake dust


thumb of the rule when you are not doing ONR wash (washing the most contaminated parts of the ride 1st - to minimized dirt & brakes asbestos particle migrations)
cos these dust will be flown everywhere when is been sprayed on with high pressure jet, unlike washing with ONR these brake particle will be wipe away


just look at all the details


TOGWT

it has been prep prior delivered

after careful inspection for area of Need
I move on to the wheels - while my partner prep the body


Simply agitate with Alien Clean 1:3 water

ta da


a microfiber brush - required for a narrow spokes like these


further cleaning


more


agitate with Alien clean


further cleaning by soft bristle hair brushes


something looks familiar

anti rust stains

ta da


ehh..


tada


moving on to tail pipe


Secret artillery


brush off





moving to the bottom


look at the enormous bones that flexes those muscles




even plate holder is detail


Tips
remember when this - breathless moment


upon seing the hood & the above signal


did you just happen to notice that there is a lint of thread got stuck at signal side, most probably is those cotton cloth use for drying after the last wash. when these cotton fibers dries it collapse and twist together and becomes hard, remember our paint is very delicate and can develop scratches quite easily by these scratches! obvious is it not noticeable but they definitely scuff and scratch the paint nonetheles/overtime. Recommendation of a fequent MF chane will be good

once my buddy finish washing the car and cleaning the paint - with Optimum No rinse wash & Alien clean to remove further contaminant, follow by outer paint de-contaminations


now the paint is clear


dont be fool by off focus picture

the real
what is seen far away good - seen clear under proper lightings




we notice the paint is soft and a deeper issue found ................read on


huge and plenty of water marks patches



thats show how new and expensive cars are not even spares (it is just like cancerous - spread and kills & destroy)


as this is a CBU - unit ( a long way from homeland)
the least we want is to endangered the factory painted coat. We carefully leveled the paint with OHC with Optimum Double sided wool pad. After many attempts and careful correction - we Move on add an additional layer of coat back to the paint - Opti Coat

Presenting...

Sheer Driving Pleasure???


I personally prefer the old BMW tagline of the Ultimate Driving Machine...


And this....., is the ULTIMATE Ultimate Driving Machine!

This is our detailing journey of the UUDM....

Check out the size of the rear lower arms! Required to tame 560 bhp!


Signature twin-exhaust pipes!


More radiators/coolers than I can count with my fingers!




M......!


M.....!!


M....!!!


M!!!!


KC kneeling before BMW royalty! :-)


None other than the BMW F10M M5!!!




If you see this coming.... better get out of its way before it eats you for breakfast.



Many thanks to the owner for entrusting his precious ride to the detailiens to detail and protect with Optimum OptiCoat.


My favorite view of this ///M Monster...


Awesome Monte Carlo blue!


The heart of the beast! 4.4-litre V8 engine, 560 hp (418 kW) and 502 lb·ft (681 N·m) of torque!

First up, cleaning and decontaminating the paint with alien No-Rinse and alien clean mixed in for more cleaning power applied with the Optimum Opti-Mitt.

The paint surface was then clayed with detailien alien No-Rinse as a lube to ensure that the surface is clear of any above surface paint contamination.


Here is sifu KC cleaning the front vents with alien clean, a detailing brush and photographing the process at the same time!


Detailed inspection of the massive M5 wheels before cleaning.


Safely cleaning the M5 wheels with alien clean and a microfiber wheel cleaning 'brush'.


Cleaning the wheel nuts with alien clean and a detailing brush.


Rinsing off....


Now onto the paintwork. Under some partial morning sun... looks good.


Closeup of the beautiful Monte Carlo blue paint.


Sifu KC inspecting the paint under halogen lighting.


Also looks good!


Onto the hood....


We found some very severe watermarks in certain areas of the paint. Due to the color of the paint it was very difficult to pick up but under the right lighting the watermarks were very obvious.


More on the roof...


The presence of the watermarks on the original factory paint highlights the benefits of OptiCoating your car as after coating, any watermark or defect removal will only be removing the coating and not the original factory paint which is still protected beneath the coating. Not only that, the OptiCoat is harder, more scratch/chemical resistant than the factory clearcoat and forms a permanent protective barrier on top of the original paint.

As with all paint correction, we always start with the least aggressive method and out with the Optimum Hyper Polish/Optimum Double-Sided Red Foam and the Makita 9227C rotary.


After several passes, the watermarks were still evident and we had to switch to a more aggressive paint correction with the Optimum Hyper Compound/Optimum Double-Sided Wool Pad and the Makita 9227C rotary.

Sifu KC compounding the roof.


Hood...


The compounding was followed again by the polishing combo and finished off with the Flex3401 with the new Optimum MicroFiber polishing pads and the Optimum Hyper Polish.

Didn't manage to take a picture of the MF system but here is a picture of it from another detail.


After paint correction, it was time to clean up the crevices and also the engine bay.


The magnificent heart of the beast...


Optimum OptiClean was used as it is very convenient without the need for water or rinsing.


OptiClean can also be used with a detailing brush.




IOil stains on the air filter assembly....


No problem for OptiClean.


Sifu KC carrying out the IPA wipedown to ensure the paint is 100% clean before applying the OptiCoat.


Nice shine after correction. Ready for OptiCoat.


The Optimum Coating...


and the other Optimum products used in this detail.


The interior was also given a quick wipe down with Optimum OptiClean to clean the lovely seats which were also protected with Optimum Leather Protectant.




Awesome stitching on the steering wheel.


330 km/h!!!???!!!








The M5 kickplates still had their protective plastic sheets in place giving them a matching bluish tint.


In case you didn't know where the M5 was made.


19" or 20" tires?






All done...






Some after pictures....enjoy.


















My favorite shot of the day. This is what an M5 is about.


Many thanks again to the owner for entrusting us to protect his precious ride. He is a 100% BMW car guy and has had some awesome Ultimate Driving Machines!

Seeing this post makes my mouth waters la... It is not easy to detail a ride that is already awesome. When I see the before pictures, I am thinking to myself "it is going to be hard to improve a ride of this condition". Indeed, this car looked amazing even before detail. But you guys still manage to make a visible difference after the detail! I salute and dream of it one day!!!
