Question

Hi Greg,

So I've been doing alot of reading on your website. Tons of useful info! I have a few followup questions:

1) I'm interested in getting the DI Packages PC 7424XP with M105, M205 and 5.5" pads. I understand that the M205 is considered a finishing polish. However, when reading the Polishing Auto Detailing Guide on your website, I noticed that the M105/205 is mentioned as a 3 step system system paired with the Menzerna PO85RD on black pads as the final step. Does this not apply to BMWs with our harder clearcoat? Is the M205 fine enough to be used as a one step polish where there are little to no imperfections?

2) I am looking to polish my OEM style 230 rims to give them a like new finish. I was looking at Optimum Metal Polish (http://www.detailedimage.com/Optimum...-P291/8-oz-S1/). Do I not need to follow up with a sealant with this? It mentions that it "cleans, shines, and protects", but I'd like to confirm.
Are there any other wheel polishes that you would recommend over this one? My wheels aren't in bad shape; they just have never been polished in their 4 year life

3) What is the difference between Chemical Guys Extreme V.R.P. Dressing and Chemical Guys Silk Shine Dressing & Protectant?:

Both are from CG for dressing/protecting rubber, vinyl, plastic. I would like to know if one is better than the other. I would mainly use it for the interior and engine bay.

Thanks for your assistance!
