Hey David,

I use Swissol. I've found it better than Zymol.

I use a 3M clay bar, and lube it with the car wash I use. Then wash the car again.

Then I use 3M Foam Polishing Pad Glaze by hand.

The Zymol HD Clense. (This is an awesome cleaner.)

Then Swissol Clener-fluid pre-wax oil

Then two coats of Swissol Canuba.

I pick up my new M5 in about 4 weeks and I am going to detail myself.

Question, After they have gernied it to remove the shipping wax etc, I will wash it again. I feel that I should clay the paintwork next.

A lot of people say not to clay brand new paint work. But I believe it will be filthy and the clay will bring out its true colour. Whats your take on this.
