Cleaned my mums one series, spent fecking hours on this. Will be for sale in June
Washed with Meguiars Gold Class Shampoo, Wheels cleaned with Auto Glym Alloy wheel cleaner,
Dried with Meguiars drying towel, Used Meguiars detailing clay and quick detail on the paintwork, then put on a coat of Auto Glym Super Resin Polish, Left it to sit with the polish on for a bit longer than i usually do as aparantly it gives a better finish and it does.
I was intending to use Meguiars Next Generation Tech Wax aswell but i felt it didnt need it.
Glass was done with auto glym glass cleaner and then polish with auto glym glass polish
Tyres were done with Meguiars Tyre Gel
Exhaust was cleaned with Autosol
Exterior Plastics were treated with Baby Oil
Interior was just hoovered and cleaned with a damp cloth then all the wee plastic bits were also treated with baby oil

I was tired by the end so couldnt be bothered polishing and cleaning under the bonnet.
Anyway enough rabbling, heres the pics:

No offence but that kit makes an ugly car, look even uglier. Nice job on the cleaning though, are you a valeter or something? You always seem to be cleaning cars.

IMO makes an ugly car slightly more bearable to look at.

not all of the paint is factory on that, kit was fitted afterwards

Spoiler and Rear bumper and front bumper were painted by BMW Bodyshop

Bonnet, Tops of the wings and another front bumper were painted by another bodyshop when i had a little incident while driving it one night
