I got together with my brother-in-law today to show him how to use his new PC. We washed with QEW first. Then we polished with the following: Mequiars Swirl Free polish with a white polishing pad and S100 SEPC with a white polishing pad. Next we QD'd with Crystal Mist and applied one coat of...

BimmerFest West Rocked ! ! ! :xyxthumbs :xyxthumbs Just think, over 400 BMW's and over 1,000 fans of the BMW car! It was truly a blast. Again, thanks to Mike and Lynn from the Meguiars Booth and John Shafer from Cutter Motors in Santa Barbara. Here are a couple of pics of BimmerFest...

By Far the best demonstration at BimmerFest was the Mequiars booth with Mike & Lynn Phillips! :xyxthumbs Mike and Lynn were truly a pleasure to meet and talk to. They are true Autopians! Mike had the before and after Black M5 demo and it was simply awsome! To be able to see first hand...

Here are a couple of pics of 3 layers of Poorboy's EX sealant topped with Souveran wax on jet black. :D The EX added the "Pop and Gling" I was missing! The Souveran topper adds that extra depth and richness that I have grown to love. I use the Crystal Mist QD to keep the richness...

I finished my spring time complete paint detail: 1. Polish with PC using a wool cutting pad and CMA's new advanced yellow cutting pad with Menzerna's Intensive polish. It was my first time with a wool cutting pad. Very easy to use. I was trying to remove a few pretty good scratches. On...

I have been thinking about the little details lately. What is everyone's favorite: 1. Tire Dressing? 2. Wheel Well Dressing? (Also, what do you use to clean weel wells?) 3. Bumper Trim and Body Moulding Dressing? Chime in and tell what you like for the above items and why...

Is anyone going to BimmerFest in Santa Barbara on Saturday the 12th of April? It is going to be held at Cutter Motors, 402 S. Hope (on the corner of Hope and Calle Real). I am going and thought it would be a great to hang out with and meet other fellow Autopians. :bounce :xyxthumbs...

Here is a pic I took today of Souveran over P21S. The trees I was parked under proved to make a nice reflection. I just love these waxes. :D Cheers, My Black 7 Series

As per blkZ28Conv's suggestion I applied a coat of P21S over two coats of Souveran on my jet black BMW. The P21S seems to add a little more reflection and pop to the paint while the Souveran makes the paint deeper and darker. :D Here is a pic I took this morning. Cheers, My...

I just received my order from Pinnacle and could not wait to try Souveran for the first time. :D So far compared to P21S it was just a bit harder to apply and remove. P21S has more reflectivity but Souveran has more of a dark wet look on my jet black BMW. I had just applied P21S...

I detailed my Father's 1997 740iL for Christmas. Here are two pics with the new Platinum. I polished with DACP, P21S GEPC, Platinum Pre-Cleaner and then the Platinum Ulitimate Paint protection. All of this was applied with my PC. So far I really like this new version. I will be...

For Christmas, I gave my father a detail for his black 1997 BMW 740iL. So far I have applied DACP by PC with cutting pads (2hrs.), P21S GEPC by PC with polishing pads (50 min.), and then Platinum Ultimate Pre-Cleaner by PC with polishing pads (50 Min). The car at this point looks great...

I am about to order Christmas presents for myself and some friends and was wondering which of the above sealants would you recommend? I will be using this with P21S/S100 as a topper for my black 740iL. Thanks in advance for your input! Cheers, My Black 7 Series Site

Has anyone here tried 4-90 spray wax plus QD from premium auto care's 4 Star Professional line of products? Let me know any feed back on this product. At 18.95 per Gal., it sounds like a pretty good deal. Cheers, My BMW Site

I just purchased some 3m Perfect-It Foam Polishing Pad Glaze in the 1 Quart/32oz. size, (Part # 05996), from my local detailing products distributer. It says on the front label that it is for dark colored paints. Is this the same polish as 3M Perfect-It Swirl Mark Remover for Dark Paints...

I am about to order some of the new Blackfire All Finish Paint Protection and wanted to know if you guys think that the Blackfire Polish is needed as a first step before applying the new BF? I have Klasse AIO. Will the BF polish help the new BF produce better results? Thanks in advance...

Besides the Blackfire QD, what other QD would be best to use with the new Blackfire? Meguires Final Inspection? Cheers, My BMW Site

I took this shot of my 7 today after a fresh coat of P21S. I love this wax! AMP 740iL Pics Cheers,
