dsms is on a distinguished road
dsms detail - black 330xi

2006 330xi mostly kept outside and never been detailed.
Before shots





A little fender bender, there was some paint transfer that came off easy when polishing, couldnt do much about the deep scratches though





After a quick rinse I foamed the car with Z7 and let it dwell for a couple minutes. Then used the 2 bucket and mitts while using the foam gun w/Z7 also.





First time using the boars hair extension brush, very soft.



I worked on the wheels first before everything else they were a mess. Tons of brake dust and road tar.





Started cleaning w/ Megs safe-D cut 3:1, let it dwell for a while and used a couple brake dust remover sticks. After that came the EZ detail brush to get behind the spokes.





Cleaned the face and between spokes with theh swissvax brush(new favorite wheel tool)



Re-rinsed and applied P21s gel and let it sit for about 10minutes before doing a final scrub with the lambswool brush. Went back later with autoglym intensive tar remover to remove the remaining tar but very little came off.



The final result(tires dressed with CG extreme wet dressing)


I used #00 steel wool on the exhaust followed by Megs nxt metal polish
