I've ordered lots of new detailing stuff and I've been very anxious to use them on my sapphire black 530d. The weather starts to be warmer and warmer and you can see and hear the snow melting. That's why it's dirty everywhere, and my car really needed a good wash. I didn't satisfy to only wash the car, but gave it a full detail for the summer!
I did a paint correction at last September, and only a light polish was needed now. However, I managed to spend a full day with the job (12h)
The process was:
1) Pre-wash
- Turtle Wax Super Solvent Wash Spray
- Bilt-Hamber Autofoam
2) Wash
- Turtle Wax Big Orange
3) Claying
- Zaino Z-18 clay
- Turtle Wax Big Orange as lubricant
4) Polish
- Presta Chroma 1500 Polish + Lake Country CCA White pad
- Presta Chroma Swirl Remover + Lake Country CCA Blue pad
- Presta Spray'N Shine as moisturizer
- Flex XC 3401 VRG
5) Wax
- Clearkote Red Moose Machine Glaze
- Collinite 915
- Mother's Reflections Top Coat
6) Tires
- AutoGlym Instant Tyre Dressing

Lots of pictures were taken, and I tried to eliminate as much as possible, but still ended up to approximately 50 pictures to share with the forum...
Sorry about the ghettoish washing hall, but I'm lucky I can use it. Washing during winter would almost be impossible without it!

-----------------------------------------------------------------
1) Pre-wash
- My trusted Kärcher K4.97M

- I started with the Turtle Wax Super Solvent Wash Spray

- You can see how it strips the previous wax layers

- Then after rinse followed the Autofoam
