Hi Guys
This is a comment sent to me from a client of mine showing some love on another forum page of his!!! Feels Great!
Well i had reached out to AidenDetailing in South Florida, because my interior wood trim had some scratches since i have bought my 528i previous owned. Due to negligence from the previous owner and dealership car washing, i thought it was time to call a detailer! I called AidenDetailing since he had previous worked on some of my buddies Range Rovers and BMW's to see if he can make things right. All Panels were requested to be sealed with Ceramic Coating CQuartz UK due to wanting that extra shine!!!!! And ill let the pictures and a video clip do the talking. PM Me if you have any further questions!!!

looks amazing... my wood trim has similar problems.... I can see many hair line scratches. What can I do to get rid of them?

Quick question,

Does BMW use real wood for their trim or is it plastic with a simulated grain.

[Aiden.Detailing]

stephen92 well the pieces are a great durable plastic but the wood is a veneer that is a overlay its not like roll royce that hand played!!!!

That looks incredible. Can you recommend a good protocol for getting micro scratches and swirls from wood dashes? All of the used models have varying degrees of this.

[Aiden.Detailing]

wheresmy5 a good media compound the a fine polish with a DA and a ceramic coating!!!but once you go to put it back on u have to be extreme careful cause if the coating is not 100% dried u r going to put mico marring back on it

[wheresmy5]

Thanks. Does one absolutely have to take apart the dash and do each piece individually? What's the next best without having to do this?

[Aiden.Detailing]

wheresmy5 nothing u HAVE to remove all panels if not prep to have MAJOR compound clean up to do not fun at all all put more scratches into it while cleaning then what u started with

[wheresmy5]

Bummer. All these clips are so easy to snap. In all my experience taking dashes and trip pieces apart, they never quite set the same way. Albeit my experience is based on Japanese cars.

[Aiden.Detailing]

these 5series the clips n trims pieces will clip back like oem unless u break something

So I'm looking but what was used to make this soooo shiney... ceramic coating? Is this like a spray wax or more like a rubbing compound?

na ceramic coating is like a glass coating/another layer of clear coat added to the surface but way more durable, scratch resistant, and as well makes the surface hydrophobic. it is made from SiO2 which is same material they use to make glass out of and oxygen so when it is applied the air is what cures it and makes it hard. But it needs to be applied correctly if not it won't work. but it was polished out with scholl concepts s3 Gold and finished with s40. if you want to know more about ceramic coating visit this link http://cquartz.com
