Protect and Seal - Questionable Value

I collected my E92 335i on Friday and planned to give it a quick wax just to finish it off.

Most of the car was fine, ie smooth surface, but the bonnet and front wings felt really coarse when running a finger over the paint surface.

Given that protect and seal is supposed to remove embedded dirt prior to the seal treatment I really wonder whether the dealer did anything at all.

I had to resort to elbow grease with a polish to remove the impurities that looked like lots of tiny orange flecks, just about the size of small tar spots. The surface of the polishing cloth was stained lightly orange by whatever the substance was - strange.

Eventually got to the stage where I was happy to apply wax an now got the finish I thought I paid for - wouldn't recommend it to anyone considering getting the £299 treatment.

Anyway - love the car - the colour is amazing, dark blue to light blue and everything in between.
