Detailed Cattarulla's BMW (lots o'pics)
The Cattman himself wanted me to detail his 2001 BMW 325Ci. The best thing about working on his car is that it was in nice condition already so I could spend my time working on the little things. He let me drive it from his condo to my house and keep it overnight - a first, I think, as he never let's anyone drive his car. Steps and products used are:
WASH - Duragloss 901 and two new 100% cotton chenille mitts
CLAY - 3M clay and E1 Wet Wipe & Shine
POLISH - DeWalt 849, Meguiars yellow pad, 1ZPP
SEALANT - PC, Meguiars yellow pad, Klasse AIO
WAX - Pinnacle Souveran by hand
WHEELS & TIRES - Shampoo to clean, Mothers Clearcoat wheel polish, and Zaino Z16 dressing

Nice job. Pinnacle really darkens the paint. Did you ever try it over AOI + SG? |

John's Bimmer is looking good these days.
Oh, just as a point of reference, who's wheels did you steal and hide in your garage?

Those are wheels I had on my '97 Infiniti QX4. They're about 5 years old and I need to sell them.

No, I'm not a huge fan of SG. I used AIO as a base because of past successes I've had with it under carnauba. Besides, the latest info I have from Terry @ CMA says that SG shouldn't be topped with wax because it could become cloudy or smeary. |

Looks great!
Pinnacle Souveran never tends to disaapoint me 
BTW: I love using AIO as a base before a carnauba as well. It is an amazing all around product.

NICE!
Nice job!
I'll tell you, the WG/Souveran combo on red looks outstanding!
Still playing on the SC430 weather permitting, but tested on one fender and it looks really nice!
Have yet to try AIO.
The BMW looks nice and highly reflective! Don't change a thing for black BMW paint!
Regards,
Deanski
