Clay with Mothers Clay bar
Tar removed with PB's Bug Squash
Tires and Wheels cleaned with Eagle One A2Z
Tires dressed with Megs Insane Tire Spray
Interior cleaned with Woolite and water and Megs ID
Leather dressed with Autoglym Leather Conditioner
Glass cleaned with NXT Glass and a Pakshak glass towel
Color X via PC
Megs NXT via PC

Detail time: approx 6.5 hours

Befores
(I hate BMW brake dust )









Afters:

Nice job! I noticed the badging says it's a 325xi not a 330xi though. I'm looking into buying an '06 330xi right now and I thought "those wheels don't look right."

My bad. Post edited. I don't know why I thought it was a 330.

The home is beautiful. The porta potty is there for some construction work in the rear of the house.

1 year old and exterior in bad shape...unbelievable, eh?

Looks really good in the afters, shows what OTC products can do for the finish in the right hands.

Scott...

I agree. ColorX is a great one stepper. It removed a ton of marks and scuffs from the finish. Topping it with NXT was even better. At $7.00 a bottle Color X is a hidden gem.
