This is one of the first few X5 CBU units deliver end of last year,
I was called to attend to protecting this awesome ride, we have to drive for 2 hours to details this.......................
some pictures taken during wash
stained side steps
more stains from side steps, cant believe from a new car??? new car doesnt means just built...this is a CBU unit , for it came a long long way! shipment from Germany, by sea, held up at custom dock till it is clear, then drove to stock yard, then deliver to state dealer and thus the local dealer
imagine the amount of contaminats it was exposed to
brushing away with OPC
more stains discover at every rubber anti slip area
mnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....lots of work
here is a clearer evident
ta da
the culprit ....anti rust dropping ....stained ....
anti rust ...is applied to the inner door body to prevent rust, some how when it is melt...it stained everywhere like a glue or chewing gum
ta da....after much cleaning
[img][https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-9..._0289.JPG/img]
many would not have imagine why? and even some may ask why does a new car must be detail prior delivery
some of you may have many answers....eg
the car from Germany Manufacturing plant produce and kept the stock in the yard, later was transfers to dock at harbor! boarded the ship hence....arriving to bonded area! later transfers to HQ/ Capital stock yard and hence fort to dealer branch ...being exposed to many sun rain in the open area
the contaminant from rain and industrial fall out may have smear and created some contaminant/stains
henceforth was sent to a detailer....ended whacked while it being detail
see it for yourself grease like anti rust

Re: BMW ///Msport Idrive X5 corected and protected by KC's
Looks great! As a former X3 owner, I understood every X3, X4,X5 and X6 to supply the world are only made in SC? I remember wanting the big turbo diesels which are made in SC but are all exported and not sold in the US.
I believe the X1 is still made in Germany. When I ordered my custom X3 only took 3 weeks to build and arrive from SC to TX. You did a great job on the X5 and it looks great! |

 Thanks for the insights....this is a CBU modal, make in Germany  +++++++++++++++++++++++ TIPs when collecting your new car ...please park it in an open air to get a proper viewing of the paint....overall condition ah ha........that show this was prior detail before me and the detailer probably do not realised this was not done correct or in a correct manner meaning to say in simple This new car was send to a detailer prior delivery now the question is WHY? WHAT happen? why does this new car require a detailing service??? Sad to see and say....even new car ...uncorrected cars are whacked prior delivery eg hologram found........!!!!!!  many would not have imagine why? and even asked you may have many answers....eg the car from Germany Manufacturing plant produce and kept the stock in the yard, later was transfers to dock at harbor! boarded the ship hence....arriving to bonded area! later transfers to HQ/ Capital stock yard and hence fort to dealer branch ...being exposed to many sun rain in the open area the contaminant from rain and industrial fall out may have smear and created some contaminant/stains henceforth was sent to a detailer....ended whacked while it being detail
