Didn't have keys, and the sun didn't shine on the car until I was done. So not all swirls were removed.

Forgot to take interior pictures. White leather = thumbs-down

clay

Good job Thomas. How do you like OP? Good stuff indeed. What did you use on the Leather? Leatherique Pristine Clean works very well on white leather. Was the coating cracked or was it just a lot of ground in dirt?

Great job on an 11 year old paint job!! BMW's sure do clean up well.

Thanks everyone.

Brad - I like OP more & more

With th exception of the front seats (expecially the drivers seat) the interior cleaned up very nicely, although part of the center console was yellow. There is only so much you can do. I think the wife expected a "brand new " interior.

I used woolite mix first, then went to Castrol's Super Clean. Didn't do much for the front seats though.

where do you get Leatherique Pristine Clean?

Visualize in the 3rd pic down the guy across the street who is scratching his head ; while looking at his car saying " 4 hours and his car looks like THAT compared to before ? I wonder could I go and make friends and invite him over ? "

That is funny!

Except it took me from 9:30 to 4:30

Thomas- Pristine Clean is a bit on the expensive side, however, it is a great cleaner/conditioner in one. You can buy it directly from Leatherique. I bought a gallon of the Pristine Clean and the Rejuvenator Oil in a special deal from them. Not sure if the special is still going on though. I only have a small amount left, so I will be ordering some soon myself.
