Right first of all it is the BMW But it has undergone a major bufty and thought you might apprecatie a clean car...

Anyway after 3 weeks of not being able to wash it due to the rain i thought i finally better get around to it while the weather is nice and dry, all be it a bit cold!

To start with she had a full wash, then i parked it in the garage to take all four wheels off (sry didnt take photos till the end as i didnt think).

All 4 wheels came of for a good clean behind them, while the wheels was off i also washed under neath the arches and bumper gel'ed the liners etc. I then waxed the wheels with Poorboys wheel sealer to keep them nice and stop the brake dust from marking them.

Also then deailed the engine bay...

Also remover front fog light to dry out as some water had got in there and misted the fog light up.

After that i then clayed the car! Thanks to Mr Council road man laying a new road near me i had a LOT of tar stuck to the car SO i clayed it to get any tar and other imperfections of. And i have to say i was impressed with the results. First time i have ever clayed a car and it was impressive. It got shot of all the tar and any other marks that was on there. Finally my side skirts are as mint as the rest of the car!!!!

After this i then dug the porta cable out and went over the car with swirl remover compound (medium grade) after doing this there was still some marks so i then went over it agian with Light grade swirl remover compound. This then resulted in almost all of the swirls out of the car.

after that i went over the car with Polymer sealent applied once agian with portacable. This start to make the car really shine!

Next job i went over all the balck trim with poorboys trim delailer.

Then went back over the paint with canuba wax sealer! applied by hand with soft spounge.

Finaly cleaned the glass with sonus glass cleaner. it was hard job as the temprature was cold! and getting it of was a bit of a nightmare. but got there in the end.

Hoover out the car and qipe over dash etc for interior and was job done as this was done by me not so long ago so no need for leather cleaner and dash cleaner etc.

Anyway here are the pics, sorry im not to good with the camera. But what do you think?



















No photos of engine bay as i forgot and its to cold to go back out and take some lol.

I must be mad as the car is used everyday and will soon get dirty but least its protected a bit more agianst the elements. Dont want to use it now though as i will get it dirty!!! lol

Really dont know why im selling it when looks sooooooooo nice!
