Looks good! Maybe a rundown of some of the products you use? Especially that engine bay, mine needs a thorough cleaning again.. :smilebounce:
Tip for the exhausts.. I have found that a small piece of wet steelwool works wonders to get rid of baked on soot.. Just use it to agitate the soot a bit, I use it on my 335i to keep the OEM tips looking factory new! :thumbs:
exhaust tips: I use a 2000 grit sanding paper with paper just to clean it then I use "Autosol metal polish" (about R80 a tube) to give it it's shine back again.
Leather seats: If dirty I use "Meguiars leather & vinyl cleaner" and then "Meguiars rich leather cleaner and conditioner black" to protect the leather again.
Interior plastic and dash: "Meguiars quik interior detailer cleaner" to wipe off all dirt, to protect and shine the dash area I use "Shield Sheen ultra high gloss" (purple bottle)
Outside Body: "Shield wash plus wax car shampoo" to wash the car. (I do not wash my car with a sponge I use a sheep wool washing pad got it at Builders) For wax I use "Meguiars deep crystal carnauba wax" which is clear coat safe. I apply and remove the wax with a hand operated applicator from Shield( as seen in picture)
Tyres: For my tyres I use "Meguiars endurance tire gel" this stuff is long lasting.
Engine bay: If your engine bay is dirty, greasy and oily I recommend using a engine cleaner and/or paraffin, and for that shiny look I use the "Meguiars trim detailer" with some microfibre cloths and brushes.
and yes I know Meguiars is expensive but, it keeps your car looking new and decent worth every cent.
