BMW 5 Series detailing in Houston
The 5 Series is the executive car of the Energy Corridor and Memorial, and many of them spend the week in a downtown or Galleria parking garage.
Paint and interior on the 5 Series
Paint and exterior
Black Sapphire, Carbon Black and Alpine White dominate, with a lot of dark grey on recent cars. The long hood and trunk are big flat panels that show every swirl, and the chrome window surrounds on older cars spot from sprinkler water.
Interior
Dakota or Nappa leather on F10 cars, Vernasca or Merino on the G30, and synthetic upholstery as the base on the G60. Open-pore wood is common and gets a damp towel, never a shine product.
Living in Houston
A 5 Series parked in a covered garage stays out of the sun but picks up brake dust and garage grime, and a weekend run to Galveston leaves salt film on the lower doors.
- Hard clear coat: swirls take more cutting to remove, so correction is slower, but a corrected finish holds up well afterwards.
- Black and dark colors are common: they show swirls, water spots and pollen film first, and benefit most from a coating.
- Nappa or fine-grain leather: cleaned with a pH-balanced leather cleaner and a soft brush, then a non-greasy conditioner.
- Lots of chrome: Houston hard water etches it, so it is dried fully, polished where needed and sealed.
What a 5 Series costs to detail
The 5 Series is priced as sedan / coupe. Prices are by vehicle size and assume normal condition. Heavy pet hair, sand, mold, smoke or neglected paint is quoted on the call, before anything is booked. No surprises on the day.
