The first vehicle is an E46 M3 convertible that is being prepped for winter storage:

Followed up by spraying P21S Wheel gel for 5 minutes.
Irritated areas with a brush where it was necessary
Also sprayed the Wheel Wells

After P21S Autowash and Poorboys Soap and Suds

Clay Bar w/ Meguiars and used CGs Detailers spray as a lube

Polished the vehicle with Menzerna PO85 w/ white pad
Then wiped off any polish that was left over w/ Menzerna Final Inspection

Sealed the car with Jet Seal 109 and let sit for 30 minutes (break time) then wiped off and then waited 20 more minutes. Then applied a second layer.

Jet Sealant was followed up with Swissvax Saphir

Both owners let me test drive their cars too. The C300 was a 6spd and I am not going to lie it was a really nice soft clutch and the 528i was just extremely technologically advanced luxury wise.
