BMW X1 M Sport Detailing in Rhode Island

At Luxury Car Detailing, we recently completed a full mobile detail on a 2023 BMW X1 M Sport with a black exterior and orange leather interior. This client contacted us for a complete refresh of their vehicle, including deep cleaning, surface protection, and cosmetic enhancement.

This job reflects our attention to detail and the convenience we bring to clients across Rhode Island.

Initial Inspection

• Walked around the vehicle to assess paint condition, wheel buildup, and interior wear
• Identified surface contamination, light swirl marks, and minor interior dust buildup
• Discussed with the client their expectations: a clean, sharp finish and safe interior conditioning

Exterior Detailing Process

1. Pre-Wash and Hand Wash

• Rinsed vehicle thoroughly to remove loose grime
• Applied foam cannon pre-soak using pH-neutral shampoo
• Washed with the two-bucket method and grit guards to prevent scratches

2. Paint Decontamination

• Sprayed iron remover to dissolve embedded contaminants
• Performed clay bar treatment for a smooth surface before polishing

3. Polish and Protection

• Light machine polish to enhance depth and remove faint swirl marks
• Applied high-quality wax for protection and added gloss
• Restored trim using plastic and rubber conditioners

4. Wheels and Tires

• Cleaned wheels inside and out using dedicated wheel cleaner
• Scrubbed and dressed tires for a clean, satin finish
• Cleaned brake calipers and lug nut areas

5. Exterior Glass

• Cleaned all windows and mirrors streak-free
• Applied light water-repellent protection to windshield and side glass

Interior Detailing Process

1. Interior Prep and Vacuum

• Vacuumed carpets, seats, trunk area, and under seats
• Used compressed air to remove dust from tight spaces

2. Leather Seat Treatment

• Cleaned seats using pH-balanced leather cleaner and soft brushes
• Conditioned leather to restore softness and preserve the orange finish
• Left a factory-like matte appearance — not shiny or greasy

3. Dashboard and Console Cleaning

• Wiped down dash, steering wheel, gear selector, and center console
• Used soft brushes to clean around buttons, seams, and vents
• Applied non-greasy UV protectant to all plastic and vinyl surfaces

4. Door Panels and Lower Trim

• Cleaned and protected interior door panels and threshold areas
• Spot-treated minor scuff marks along lower plastics and footwells

5. Final Touches

• Cleaned interior glass with alcohol-based solution
• Used a fresh scent deodorizer — subtle and clean-smelling
• Steering wheel remained wrapped until delivery to ensure cleanliness
• Added branded floor mat protection to show care and professionalism

Results and Client Response

• The black paint regained a glossy, uniform shine without swirls or haze
• The orange interior looked rejuvenated, with clean stitching and even color tone
• All surfaces were dry to the touch — no slick dressings or product residue
• Client said the interior looked “better than new” and appreciated the clean scent
• Mobile service allowed the client to stay home while receiving a full premium detail
