    todays wash and detail

    well now that we have a section for just posting pictures i wont feel soo bad about posting my car every once in a while.

    today was just a routine wash on the 325i that sits outside in our driveway 24/7 without being driven. its been 2 weeks since the detail. gave it a nice nxt bath follwed with some s&g while drying and eagle one wet for the tires



    followed was the wash of my cooper but during the wash i noticed the one coat of butter wax it had was almost gone. instead of adding another coat figured id aio it and put some upp for longer durabilty. tires got michellins tire dressing. pretty basic.

    You do a great job, my hats off to you. That`s the slickest cooper I`ve seen around these parts.

    one coat with BSG under it lasted for 4 weeks. maybe 6 if i waited but the sheeting, slickness, and beading dimished a bit

    Re: todays wash and detail

    i liked it a lot. slickness is ok, it tends to bead and sheet. looks awesome in my opinion under heavy sunlight but tends to look boring in the shade. like i said i would`ve used it again but i wanted some more longecity from my lsp. even if i only plan on having it on a month. i definately see myself using it in the future. if u want a sample of it let me know. that way u can try it out before u buy it.

    PM me if u`re interested

    forgot to mention that the pic on my avatar is actually my car with butterwax on it. like i said, it looks awesome under the sun

    I love coopers, and that is one of the nicest I have seen. Is it a "S"

    Looks great! BMW`s have a good quality finish, or so it seems. My neighbor recently got his 03` 330i detailed, I applied a topper for him Sunday, and it came out great!

    Both cars look excellent. That finish on that Mini is always stunning though. Keep up the great work.
