AXE BMW 330i (56K warning - big pics)

[imported_Axe]

Hello everyone, well what can I say, I nearly didn`t post these pics as I have just viewed that awesome `76 Stingray :scared , however I thought since I had taken the pics of my car, I should post them, so here goes



Washed the car with BMW car shampoo

Clayed with Megs White and Megs detail spray

AutoGlym Super Resin Polish x 1

AutoGlym Extra Gloss Protection x 1

P21s x 1



Ran out of light so I could not add more layers, I may well add another layer of P21s tomorrow if the sun shines and take another couple of pics ... if you think I should ?



Ok here goes the pics then!



This is the car full on from the side

Hope these pics are ok, thanks for looking

[Lochi]

looks very nice, good job! :xyxthumbs

[Aletank]

Looks great :cool:



What do you use on the tyres ?

[Gonzo]

Nothing wrong with those pictures, AXE! Great work for a NOOB.

[imported_Axe]

Thanks for the comments everyone, its so nice when people on here comment, so thanks very much. I had noticed 90 views and no-one had commented, I thought the pics and car must look awful :o



Aletank, thanks, I use Megs Endurance tire shine (its purple and smells of fruit!) on the tyres



Gonzo, thanks for your kind words, long way to go (perhaps different products even) to get it to the standard of your friends `vet` ... but I will keep trying :)

[ncwlau]

Autoglym is great stuff.



Nice looking Bimmer.

[imported_Axe]

thanks ncwlau :) Can`t say I am AG`s biggest fan though, waiting to try Zaino 2 once it arrives.

[SilverLexus]

:cool:



P21S looks terrific on black. Almost as good as Souveran. P21S is very glassy and reflective whereas Souveran is very liquid looking.

[Lowejackson]

Very nice work :xyxthumbs

[imported_Axe]

ah, yes it is the liquid finish I am looking for silverlexus, as I mentioned above I am waiting for the arrival of Zaino 2, as I figure the liquid look should be apparent from applying Zaino 2 and the reflective glassy of P21s over the top should give me the finish I am trying to achieve ? What do you think, does that sound like a plan? :)

[stilez]

Looks great :)



Nice bimmer...likin those rims :cool:



I like the flash shot...No swirls!

[Gonzo]

Axe,

Everyone starts somewhere and you are off to an excellent start. As you get the hang of things and try new products, some you will really like, some will be OK and some you won`t care for. Eventually you will find a product combination that "will make your eyes bleed" and there you will stay until you venture off in another direction.



I read the board a lot before I took the plunge and went with Klasse and compatables (Sonus AS and UPP). It has kept me and those I have detailed over the last 18 months very happy. In fact I ordered a 3 litre jug of AIO and 3 x 32 KSG today, but I also ordered some EX-P and some Natty`s too.



My wife has discovered the K-twins too. After polishing some brass candle sticks and some fireplace tools, she decided to use AIO & SG on those to help control the tarnishing. Will keep the board advised on how the brass holds up.

GORGEOUS detail on an AWESOME Bimmer!! :bow



Something is so right with the world when I see an immaculate 3 series with Euro plates! :xyxthumbs
