We installed clear bra and a ceramic paint coating, patted the M4 on the butt and sent her on the way.<\/p>\n<p>A few years later the owner reached out to me to let me know he had ordered a new M4 Competition Package ride in Tanzanite Blue and that he wanted the works. After spending a bit of time going over all the new options available since his last visit, he confirmed, and we waited for his new baby to arrive.<\/p>\n<p>Once it arrived, we washed and decontaminated the paint only to discover some pretty gnarly defects all over. Paint correction was added to the already long to-do list and we got busy.<\/p>\n<p>A quick rundown on the process for this extensive project:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pre-Treated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/P21S-M14\/Total-Auto-Wash-P87\/1000-ml-Kit-S1\/\">P21S Total Auto Wash<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Sonax-M49\/MultiStar-All-Purpose-Cleaner-P1037\/750-ml-S1\/\">Sonax Multistar<\/a>. Yes, using 2 different pre-treats matters when it comes to gently decontaminating!<\/li>\n<li>Washed with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/SONAX-M49\/Gloss-Shampoo-Concentrate-P540\/1000-ml-S1\/\">Sonax Shampoo<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Treated with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Sonax-M49\/Fallout-Cleaner-P965\/16-oz-S1\/\">Sonax Fallout Cleaner<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Mechanical decon with claybar<\/li>\n<li>Paint Correction. Wild selection of pads and products for different surfaces: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Lake-Country-M7\/Purple-Foamed-Wool-Pad-P207\/65-S1\/\">purple foamed wool<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Meguiars-M43\/DA-Microfiber-Cutting-Disc-Buffing-Pad-P515\/55-S1\/\">microfiber cutting discs<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Lake-Country-M7\/Orange-Light-Cutting-Pad-P58\/65-S1\/\">orange medium cut pads<\/a>, gray and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Lake-Country-M7\/White-Polishing-Pad-P57\/65-S1\/\">white finishing pads<\/a> all used between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Rupes-M62\/\">Rupes Bigfoot<\/a>, Rupes pneumatic LH75P (as shown in the video), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Makita-M42\/9227C-X3-Rotary-Buffer-P373\/\">Makita Rotary<\/a> units and even some stuff by hand (urgh). The variety of machines is necessary for a professional looking to get the best finish on all surfaces.<\/li>\n<li>Another decon wash to ensure surfaces are completely free of oils and dust before wrapping with clear bra.<\/li>\n<li>Safe removal of many parts to provide our advanced clear bra wrap with the fit and finish it demands all emblems, tail lights, door handles, trim, kidney&#8217;s etc. (Some shown, some not shown)<\/li>\n<li>Full-body clear bra wrap with what we currently see as the best paint protection film on the market; ClearGuard Nano by Prestige Film Technologies.<\/li>\n<li>Another (yes&#8230;..<em>another<\/em>) wash. This time to remove slip solutions from the clear bra, cracks, crevices, door jambs, etc. to ensure the Modesta BC-04 will have a pure bond to the clear bra and exposed paint surfaces like those found inside the door jambs.<\/li>\n<li>Application of Modesta&#8217;s BC-04 paint coating to the surface of the clear bra, glossy black finishes, door jambs\/stops of the doors and trunk lid. This gives the clear bra additional protection from chemical etching, a superior self-cleaning surface that is significantly easier to clean than is otherwise achievable and world class gloss and luster.<\/li>\n<li>Wheels removed. Wheels and calipers detailed, coated with Modesta BC-06, treated with infrared program, topped with Modesta BC-08, treated with infrared program and then remounted and lugs torqued to factory spec with digital torque wrench.<\/li>\n<li>Leather treated with Modesta&#8217;s 2-part Leather Protection System designed to provide chemical resistance and eased cleaning of the leather seats as well as abrasion resistance for all outer bolsters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The video I am sharing required 245 video clips that consumed 17.7 gigs of hard drive space. When we shoot video for projects it comes at a large cost to our workflow but I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s a better way to show off a window into what happens at Detailed Designs over one of these big projects. I personally shot 95% the clips and edited everything together. I am not a professional videographer&#8230;so I hope you&#8217;ll enjoy this video for what it is; 100+ hours of work crammed into a 4-minute video by a guy who makes his living restoring, enhancing, and protecting fine automobiles&#8230;not making videos. haha!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;re anywhere near metro-Atlanta (or in the southeast at all hah!), give us a shout if you would like to learn more about how you can get your baby buttoned up with a service similar to this!<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BsiEBPlqNps\" frameborder=\"0\" gesture=\"media\" allow=\"encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><em>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=BsiEBPlqNps\">YouTube<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<h2>Buy Products From This Article<\/h2>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Sales\/Tanzanite-BMW-M4-Paint-Correction-ClearGuard-Nano-Clear-Bra-Wrap-Modesta-Coatings-Video-SP436\/\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"view-article-products\">View Products Now <i class=\"icon-chevron-right\"><\/i><\/div>\n<p><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tanzanite BMW M4: Paint Correction, ClearGuard Nano Clear Bra Wrap, Modesta Coatings (Video)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":35,"featured_media":23537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1024,1151,27,38],"tags":[1172,171,1718,1862,474,1717,1413,176,1147,1999,1361,1826],"class_list":{"0":"post-23364","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-cars","8":"category-coatings","9":"category-professional-work","10":"category-protection","11":"tag-atlanta","12":"tag-bmw","13":"tag-bmw-m4","14":"tag-ceramic-coating","15":"tag-clear-bra","16":"tag-m4","17":"tag-modesta-coatings","18":"tag-paint-correction","19":"tag-ppf","20":"tag-tanzanite-bmw-m4","21":"tag-wrap","22":"tag-www-detaileddesignsautospa-com"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/12\/1-1.jpg","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1kPO7-64Q","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"amp_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/35"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23364"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":23679,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23364\/revisions\/23679"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/23537"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.detailedimage.com\/Ask-a-Pro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
