BMW M2 Black Sapphire Metallic receives a New Car Prep/ Xpel Paint Protection Film / Nanolex SI3D
Detailer's Domain documents the first BMW M2 to receive New Car Prep/Xpel/Nanolex SI3D
We were very excited to get our first BMW M2 in BSM in for an extended amount of work.
The scope of the work included - new car prep, Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film, and Nanolex SI3D Ceramic Glass Coating.
The services above would provide protection from rock chips and road debris, as well as a durable long lasting shine.
Most will ask why would we need a "new car prep" when my car is new....hopefully the below will answer some of your questions.
What is new?
We consider a new car is new up from 50-100 miles or 1 month after purchase.
What is done?
What to look out from the dealership.....
Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film
Paint protection films are clear or colored polyurethane films that are applied to vehicles to protect them from scratches, dents, or swirls caused by road debris, rocks, bug droppings, and other environmental elements.
Conventional paint protection films can show scars and yellowing after a single year of use—especially in the real world, where most of us drive every day.
Constructed from a combination of advanced elastomeric polymers, XPEL ULTIMATE’s special clear coat not only prevents the film from discoloring due to contamination and ultra-violet radiation, but also heals itself from swirl marks and light scratches that can occur through ordinary washing and drying or daily driving.
Contaminants like bug splatter, bird droppings, sap and road tar wipe off XPEL ULTIMATE’s super-slick surface with a cloth, while scuffs and light scratches in the surface of the film disappear within minutes in the heat of the sun or the warmth of your garage—leaving your car pristine and the protective film like new.
And this level of protection comes without compromise. The mirror smooth finish of XPEL ULTIMATE ensures that no unwanted texture, commonly referred to as “orange-peel,” is added to the appearance of your car, leaving the protected surface indistinguishable from the factory paint. Professional installation by one of our network of factory
trained installers ensures exact alignment around surface features such as air inlets, parking sensors, headlamp washers and other design elements, while the film along the perimeter of each panel is wrapped around the edges for a truly invisible barrier against the hazards awaiting you on the road.
Even the film’s adhesive is superior. The enhanced workability of XPEL’s adhesive allows the film to be contoured around the most complex surfaces without distortion—which means you show off a perfect finish, not seams, wrinkles, and ripples. XPEL ULTIMATE also comes with a full 10-year warranty against yellowing, discoloration, peeling, cracking and hazing. If it fails, we’ll replace it—labor included

Nanolex SI3D - Glass Coating/Ceramic Coating/Nano Coating
Based on its unique Si3D technology, Nanolex Car Care offers a range of products specifically developed and designed to fulfill the highest demands and needs of our professional customers.
The Si3D molecules - precursors of ceramic and hybrid materials - consist of silica, nitrogen, hydrogen and organic compounds such as carbon. These high-performance polymers are all solvent and fluorine free.
The additionally-implemented thermoplastic component forms an incredibly hydrophobic, flexible, cross-linked matrix to give an outstanding hardness and durability.
Nanolex Si3D is extremely weather and chemical resistant, which in turn provides excellent corrosion protection with easy-to-clean-properties.
Si3D can also increase the total hardness of the paint to up to 9H+, adding a clear coat with a color-darkening effect to the treated surface.
Depending on the number of applied layers of Si3D, the thickness of the coating can vary. The coating thickness, combined with the sophisticated structural nature of the Si3D matrix, make the coatings resistant to abrasion caused by frequent washing and also unaffected by most chemical substances.
An important part of automotive coatings are solvents. The liquid consistency, viscosity and volatility of the product is highly dependent on the used solvents. Nanolex Car Care do not incorporate any aromatic solvents in their product formulations, due to the high potential of ‘hazardous-to-health’ character, thus making them safe use in an enclosed environment.
The Si3D coatings have very good ‘solvent release’ properties - about 90% of the solvents will evaporate during the first 24 hours, with the remaining 10% evaporating within one week. Please take note that solvent evaporation is also greatly dependant on temperature and weather conditions.
Nanolex Car Care do not incorporate any aromatic solvents in their product formulations, due to the high potential of ‘hazardous-to-health’ character, thus making them safe use in an enclosed environment.
Unlike traditional protective coatings such as car wax and conventional polymer coatings, where the protective efficiency decreases with time, and from using degreasing or alkaline detergents, or because of mechanical removal, Nanolex Si3D coating exhibits outstanding durability and a tough insensitivity to abrasion from frequent washing and the use of strong alkaline or acidic detergents.
With proper maintenance Nanolex Si3D will have a durability of approximately 30000 km on the surfaces it was applied to.
Nanolex Si3D was developed, tested and manufactured in Germany.

Detailer's Domain documents the first BMW M2 to receive New Car Prep/Xpel/Nanolex SI3D
We were very excited to get our first BMW M2 in BSM in for an extended amount of work.
The scope of the work included - new car prep, Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film, and Nanolex SI3D Ceramic Glass Coating.
The services above would provide protection from rock chips and road debris, as well as a durable long lasting shine.
Most will ask why would we need a "new car prep" when my car is new....hopefully the below will answer some of your questions.
What is new?
We consider a new car is new up from 50-100 miles or 1 month after purchase.
What is done?
- Remove any plastics or wrappings from the factory
- Remove any existing transportation/storage dirt without marring or scratching the paint
- Remove surface contaminants ie:leftover adhesive, tree sap, traffic film, rail dust, overspray, etc.
- Bring out the full potential of the paint by increasing gloss and smooth paint surface
- Provide a durable protection of the exterior surfaces using high quality sealants or coatings
- Provide a professional inspection of your vehicle's paintwork
What to look out from the dealership.....
- The products used are not necessarily the best available for your car
- The work is likely to be done by "detailers" who don't have the training or equipment
- Lack of training can lead to subpar results or even worse swirls/burnt paint/holograms
- Shortcuts due to time constraints will cause dealerships to rush a job and steps maybe skipped to complete the car
Xpel Ultimate Paint Protection Film
Paint protection films are clear or colored polyurethane films that are applied to vehicles to protect them from scratches, dents, or swirls caused by road debris, rocks, bug droppings, and other environmental elements.
Conventional paint protection films can show scars and yellowing after a single year of use—especially in the real world, where most of us drive every day.
Constructed from a combination of advanced elastomeric polymers, XPEL ULTIMATE’s special clear coat not only prevents the film from discoloring due to contamination and ultra-violet radiation, but also heals itself from swirl marks and light scratches that can occur through ordinary washing and drying or daily driving.
Contaminants like bug splatter, bird droppings, sap and road tar wipe off XPEL ULTIMATE’s super-slick surface with a cloth, while scuffs and light scratches in the surface of the film disappear within minutes in the heat of the sun or the warmth of your garage—leaving your car pristine and the protective film like new.
And this level of protection comes without compromise. The mirror smooth finish of XPEL ULTIMATE ensures that no unwanted texture, commonly referred to as “orange-peel,” is added to the appearance of your car, leaving the protected surface indistinguishable from the factory paint. Professional installation by one of our network of factory
trained installers ensures exact alignment around surface features such as air inlets, parking sensors, headlamp washers and other design elements, while the film along the perimeter of each panel is wrapped around the edges for a truly invisible barrier against the hazards awaiting you on the road.
Even the film’s adhesive is superior. The enhanced workability of XPEL’s adhesive allows the film to be contoured around the most complex surfaces without distortion—which means you show off a perfect finish, not seams, wrinkles, and ripples. XPEL ULTIMATE also comes with a full 10-year warranty against yellowing, discoloration, peeling, cracking and hazing. If it fails, we’ll replace it—labor included
