Hi everyone
First of all Great site! I have been reading allot of great threads
and tips all over this site.
I bought last April a BMW M6 2006 Great car I love it, it was my dream car for so long
"16 years" and now it sits in my garage.
a really expensive car like the M6 makes you think 100 times before using any
products on it and I have done my research as much as I could on it and on the
paint, The Color of the car is Sapphire Black *Picture Below* and it has a clear coat of
course but as most of you know the clear coat on the New BMW`s is thin
My local Detail shop owner has an experience over 15 years detailing cars
and he uses stuff in a clear bottle with no name except the purpose of it like
Like Polish, Glaze, Wax ect. So I asked him about the product and he told me it is
stuff for detailers only and it is sold to detailers and dealerships only as a truck
comes by once a month to fill up the gallons of products. I forgot the name of
the products. But he told me he mix the products with water "No idea why" but
that’s what he does and It got me worried about his products and how good they are.
that reason made think I should start taking care of my car my self and not give
it to him unless there is something major like Swirl Marks ect.
By the way I detail my car "washing and waxing with him once a week"
So I went over Autopia bought some stuff from this site and other sites as will,
