Car Detailing for BMW X2

Detailing your BMW X2

The X2 is a small SUV bought for style, so its owners tend to want it looking sharp rather than just clean. The sloping rear window and the black roof trim need specific attention, and the bright paint colours polish up with a light pass. Inside, the signature red leather holds dust in its grain and cleans best with a foaming cleaner and a soft brush, while the tight rear seat area needs a narrow crevice tool to get the salt out.

What we watch for on a X2

• The sloped rear glass sits at a shallow angle and collects dust and water spots; it needs a glass polish occasionally, not just a wipe
• Galvanic Gold and other bright X2 colours hide swirls, but black trim pieces on the roof and C-pillar fade and need a trim restorer
• Magma Red leather shows dye transfer and dust in the grain, so a foaming leather cleaner and soft brush do the work
• M35i cars have larger brakes and wheels that collect heavy dust; an iron remover before brushing keeps the finish clean
• The rear seat is tight to reach from the doors, so crumbs and salt build up at the base of the rear bench

Compact SUVs: cargo areas that do everything

Compact crossovers are family cars, gear haulers and dog taxis in one. The cargo floor, the rear seatbacks and the door sills collect the most dirt, while taller bodies catch more road spray along the sides.
