Finally got around to giving my E92 a detail

My hands and back are injured so can't do everything I wanted e.g. paintwork needs correcting but managed to do the basics: pre-wash, wash, clay bar, paintwork cleanse and wax. Hoping to invest in a DA polisher soon too.

Found the exhaust tips particularly frustrating. APC'd them, used fallout remover, metal polish and even clay bar. Still couldn't remove all the carbon

Took around 6 hours in total, will get round to doing the interior soon hopefully!

She was a dirty girl! Nice job.

You're going to need to use steel wool to clean up those exhaust tips. Look for #0000 ultra fine grade steel wool, apply some metal polish to the steel wool and rub it in. Then follow up with the P21S Polshing soap and sponge.

Thanks, don't know why I never thought to use steel wool! Doh! Great tip

Interior Pictures

Got around to doing the interior yesterday - just the seats and carpets. Dash was okay for now. Used Autoglym's interior shampoo, Dodo Juice's supernatural cleaner and applied Gtechniq's L1 Leather Guard this morning.

Pictures show before / during / after - a couple of comparison shots show a matte effect on the leather where the cleaner has done it's just.

I'd rate the Supernatural Leather Cleaner 4/5 - images aren't great but you can see a huge improvement compared to the state of the leather before. It just misses out in my opinion because it's slightly lacking in cleaning power. There was some pen marks and stains I would have expected it to remove but it just wouldn't, even after 2-3 times reapplying and going at it with plenty of elbow grease.

Good product overall though, easy to use and foams nicely without becoming unmanageable.

great turn around!
