The Vehicle

Vehicle: Pre-Owned Silver BMW X3
Service: Paint Correction, Interior Deep Clean & Gtechniq Ceramic Coating
Location: Cornwall

Customer Concern

A customer had recently purchased a pre-owned silver BMW X3 and wanted to restore its appearance while protecting it with a professional ceramic coating in Cornwall. The exterior paintwork was heavily affected by swirl marks, light scratches, and a dull, tired finish that lacked gloss and clarity. Like many used vehicles, the paint had suffered from poor wash techniques over time, leaving the silver paint looking flat and worn.

The interior also required a full deep clean and refresh, with carpets, seats, trims, and high-contact areas needing professional attention to bring the cabin back to a cleaner, fresher condition.
