So the only products I use are Meguairs.....with Turtle Wax and Sonax.....lol
But start off with a cleaning wash with a tentacled sponge,if that makes sense? That removes all the surface dirt,followed by a sponge wash to get the rest of the muck off.
Then a soak of the rims with a deep cleansing mag cleaner,followed by a normal rim cleaner that gets the rest of the carbon off. After that a coat of colour matched Turtle Wax to bring out the colour, followed by a quick detailer and then an sealing polish. Tyres are finished off with a high gloss polish. I usually do the engine as well but it was still warm when I did the wash,cold water+hot engine=cracked block....:roflol:
Then the interior is detailed using a vacuum cleaner and a carpet brush,leather cleaner and leather care creme,an interior detailing spray and a window cleaner that is just fantastic.
After it's all done,the car is buffed by hand with a soft buffing sponge to bring out the shine. Chrome parts are shined with a metal polish.
On my M3 this is about a 6 hour process.
This is the same process on my M3

Thanks Turbo,it's the colour that sold us on it!
I would go for your first option that is if you buying it via finance. dealerships always have this thing of wanting to give you a warrenty for two years or so on their used cars, more over traded in ones. Thats because they do not have a solid history on the car service history and so on.
My advise in that case, get the car with the warrenty, drive it locally as much as you can, pick up all the falts within that two year warrenty period coz they are obligated to fix that problem, no matter what.
