Detailed 2002 X5 4.6is

I know Phil HATES competition (just ask Anthony Orosco who cant post here anymore), but with any luck this post can stay...

I did this X5 for a client of mine with a nice collection of cars...this one being his daily driver.

The car had minor swirling though nothing terrible as it was last detailed about a year ago.

Process was as follows:
1) Wash with Mothers Gold Class
2) Wheels treated with PB Spray and Rinse
3) Clayed with ClayMagic Blue where needed
4) Tires dressed with Stoner's Tire Shine
5) Wheels waxed with Duragloss AquaWax
6) Paint polished via Optimum Polish on a white pad via PC
7) Waxed with Optimum Car Wax
8) Window Trim polished via Makita Rotary/Cut Pad/ HTEC Extreme Cut @ 1500rpms
9) Interior Vacuumed and Cleaned with Sonus CockPit detailer

I love this car, though HATE the window trims. For some reason the trim gets the very worst water spots (BMW acknowledged this and provides Megs #9 through the dealer to combat this problem). However, if this isnt done often, these spots intensify and are a real bear to remove. The rotary and EC made quick work of them, however.

Pictures Below. Sorry I didnt get any befores but he was waiting when I arrived and I got right to work:

I wouldnt worry about it...I/most people would be hard pressed to believe you had anything to do with this, especially considering you guys are in totally different parts of the country with totally different clients.

Indeed he did!

At 14psi and 400whp it was a blast...

I havent yet driven it at 22psi as the AEM Standalone is on the fritz, but Im set to pick it up next week and cant wait to feel the 550+whp it has on tap now!

It really is, and it drives more like a "sports car" than a truck.

I was permitted to drive another clients Imola Red X5 4.6is around town (a pickup and delivery job) and it felt leaps and bounds better than my family's Cayenne S (both in terms of power and steering input)

Yup. I did it roughly 1.5 years ago, and wasnt as thorough with the pictures then. It came out STUNNING with an LSP of EX-P. It belongs to one of the Rogue customer's wife.

I did. If only we could all swap cars like underwear.

I knew you werent going to love the Cayenne S as its really just not a car for anybody who enjoys driving. However, I thought you were going to love the CTT as the few that I have driven have always been a blast.

In the end, they are all trucks though, and your 996tt is anything but a truck!

Im currently rocking my Ford Contour Sport as the detailing mobile.
