So if I go with Dr Beasley's to coat the paint, can I do the carbon pieces as well on the M2? What style of applicator would you recommend to apply, or does it come with the suede cloth I have seen in videos? One last question, I seen one video where he was applying the Dr Beasley's coating to a wet car? Do you recommend the car to be wet for application or dry? Thanks for your help.

the swirls will be easily removed by polishing that scratch should be at the least reduced. I believe you should be able to clear it out with your polisher, you can have your trunk up while you do this and mask your bumper or any areas you can damage to be on the safe side.

I would do the xpel first, you will need to remove the coating for it to properly adhere.
If if was my car I would do film first then the coating. Besides the film will have the best protection against rock chips. (over coating) |

Hey, I'm looking for a quality sealant to coat the stock M2 rims with. I wash the car every couple of weeks and use Sonax to clean the brake dust off, which works well. However, I feel like I need the sealant to protect the wheel since the brake dust is so significant. I read earlier in the thread that Gyeon Rim was suggested, but would be nervous to apply since I can't reach inside the wheel well and don't have access to remove the full rim for proper application. That said, would it be worth having a sealant like Gyeon Rim applied professionally? Or could I get away with using something like Poorboy's World wheel sealant on a more frequent basis via DIY? Thanks.

Nanolex SIShield Gyeon Rim Both great and both will help. As for the wheel waxes they will work but plan on reapplying after each wash to keep them protected. |

Other than a shop vac, what do you recommend for a vaccum? Ideally one that can get into the nooks and crannies without too much effort from me. I was originally looking at the dyson v6 and getting an extension wand since I feel like the metro vac is a bit bulky to carry around easily, even though I've used their products in the past and love them and like the blower aspect so I can dry the car instead of using towels.

I actually tried using my dyson in my car and it didn't do as good as the metro, I thought to myself the dyson is so bad ass at home, I'll give it a try in the car not as good as the metro....just my 2 cents. I have had the metro for car use for years and no issues.

Hi, when taking delivery of my car I told the dealership to keep all of the plastic coverings on and to not wash it at all! I don't think I want to do any type of coating on it, what do you think I need, a solid detail? It's Alpine White.
Are you aware of any reputable detailers for a new car prep in Southern California? Thanks! |

If that's the case, why not do a wash, decon, clay, polish, sealant?
are you considering clear film, if this is a car you are planning to keep and drive I would consider it, what part of CA are you from? |

I went to a Milwaukee 18 volt vacuum, it works great, no cords, tons of power, wet/dry. It looks like a small tool box with a hose and a couple of fittings. Suction is shopvac level. |

What's a good sealant? I want the car to look really glossy/wet, it's Alpine White. Which coatings are good to do? I read from some people that it gives the car a "plastic" look. |
