Ready to detail.

I'll be detailing my 2006 330i Monaco Blue this weekend.

Steps:
  1. Mother's California Gold car wash
  2. Mother's Clay
  3. Menzerna SIP (may skip, not a lot of swirls)
  4. Menzerna Nano Polish
  5. 50/50 wipe down
  6. 3 layers (3days) - Pinnacle Liquid Souveran Wax
  7. Wheel Wax

Do you guys think I should add glaze and/or sealant?? Any other suggestions on products?

Should look really nice. How are you applying the polishes? By hand? Machine? None the less, it should look great afterwards.

I will be using a PC7424 for the polishes (white-SIP and gray-NANO) and will apply the wax by hand.
I'm looking at getting some Klasse SG and adding it before the wax. But I want to detail my car this weekend, so I need to find a store or dealership that sells it locally.

yea, especially after SIP i usually do a re-wash to get rid of the dust.

you might want to get a sealant under that wax since souveran doesnt last too long...

+1.

Thats a lot of wax. You should definitely put a layer of sealant (jetseal, z5,z2, etc) and then just apply a layer of pinnacle souveran over it.

Don't know where you live in CA, but every BMW and M-B dealer I've been in up north carries Klasse products. Likewise most good auto supply stores. Call around.
