Steel Grey Metallic BMW - Pops with S100
I detailed my 2001 325i this weekend.

Wash with NXT
Spot clay with Sonus claybar
Orange Pad PB's SSR2.5
AIO with white pad
s100 by hand
Stones More shine less time on tires
SGx5 on Rims

Interior
Woolite mix for carpets
1Z Plastik-Reinger on doors
303 on dash
z-10 on leather and doors and dash.
Stoner IG on window after AIO

I am very happy with the metallic pop after the s100.

Take a look

Looks very good. I agree the S100 helps make the metallic flake pop. Nice e46, with Vaders!

I recently put a couple of coats of S100 over several layers of KSG on my 2001 530i Titanium Silver. I feel the metal flakes popped after the S100, too. Probably not as much as your dark gray.

I think you'll find the effect is most noticable in bright sunlight.

Sports seats. Umm, maybe it refers to a specific type of sports seat.

Anyway, the seats are nice. You might want to try Leatherique on them.

Thanks, I am wishing I did the full SGx3 then s100, but I was short on time and this took all day with interior detail.
