zaxjax · 06-08-2009, 08:40 AM

Monaco Blue 335i Coupe, nicely maintained with minimal swirls but it did have some nasty tree sap. I had to use a plastic razor blade to remove the tree sap. Nothing took it off!

Wash - Chemical Guys Citrus Wash and Gloss at full strength
P21S Total Auto Wash on front bumper, rocker panels and quarter panel and bumper
Clay
M105 on trouble areas - sap etching, birb bombs and several scratches
Menzerna 106 on white
PO85D on blue
Optimum Poli-Seal on blue

Opti-Seal x2
Collinite 476 x2

Klasse AIO on the wheel
Meguiar's Hot Shine Tire Gel

Windows and trim were polished with Optimum Poli-Seal

Before's - Dirty and Dull

After the wash - Clean but dull

It got a few coats of Zaino prior to winter and washed pretty regularly. Never was clay barred though, back bumper was like sand paper. Winter definitely took it's toll as well!

Dirty but in decent shape. It was a lot better than some of the cars I've done.

The bumper pissed me off with the amount of crap embedded in the paint.

It's good to polish once in the spring and then right before winter if you have a DD. Most sealant / wax combos can yield 6 months of protection

AJ's car only took 6 hours all together. I did some of the prep work on Saturday night and finished on Sunday
