Ceramic Coating

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
Just got my X3M back from the detailers tonight, I would 100% recommend getting the ceramic coating treatment. It brings the paintwork to life.

Came from a F80 M3 so was a bit apprehensive at first but really have made a good choice.

I find the ride very similar to the M3 but the X3M is a nicer drive.

Only 200 miles in and finding it hard not to have some fun

Agreed! Had mine done + full front PPF as well. Same color as mine but went with the two tone merino - yours looks awesome. Congrats!

I've ceramic coated my last 3 cars, but this time decided to move to a hybrid wax and ceramic - Angelwax Enigma. It's expensive at £180 a tub but so damn easy to apply and do yourself. My only issue with ceramics is that they can be a pain to correct once they start to get some marks and swirls.

I think the best solution is a PPF but it's too damn expensive.

This is the first time I’ve done it. The weather is terrible in sunny Scotland and the dirt just falls off it.

If I had the facilities to do it myself I would have as I usually do all the valeting myself.

Btw...I think there's a typo on the MY/date in your signature for your X3M
