It is certainly nice they have done that. It was quite dusty inside there with only 600km of driving.
That is awesome. It aint done in the States. I wish they would though.

So he protected the top with some sort of fabric spray?

You can't ceramic coat a fabric. That must have put some type of hydrophobic fabric protected.

Thanks, I figured as much. I wouldn't want to ruin the top.

So. These pictures were taken after a pretty substantial rain we had yesterday. Front of the car still looks freshly washed. The back……. Not so much.

But you can leather. I used Gyeon's ceramic leather coating on all interior leathers when brand new.

303 for the fabric top. Here's my car care toolbox. https://g29.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...light=products

Looking good! I have the same problem with the back. It’s even more noticeable on black.

I didn’t. After having PPF for almost 7 years on my last car without ceramic I wasn’t feeling rushed to do it. I may apply Halo ceramic coating myself to the PPF, especially after the place that did the PPF install recommended it and said it was “easy”. That leaves just the trunk lid, part of the back and above the rear fenders that would be unprotected.

Gotcha. I got a light coat for the rest that wasn't protected with PPF so as to not have to worry about paint correction later. Was told 2 weeks to hold off on car washes though. Might hose it down a little, though. He was referring more to not using powerful water sprays on the PPF or ceramic.

Nice. Interesting note on the last pic, my M40 redlines at 6500 rpm. I would have thought the redline would be the same for all.

Makes sense. When I test drove the sdrive30, it wasn't a slouch at all. Pretty good tuned 4.
