So when my car arrives?

eshoukry93 · 03-28-2007, 03:34 PM

Just like to say this is a great section on the forums. Haven't had to do any of this before because I owned a Nissan Pathfinder.

I just ordered my 335 and am playing the waiting game. I was wondering, do you guys recommend doing the whole detail when you first get the car to protect it or is this something that doesn't need to be done for 3 or 4 months?

Thanks.

I was thinking about this myself recently and wondering what stuff to use. I'll save the specifics for another thread but I would go something along the lines of:

Interior
1. Clean interior
2. Scotch guard carpets
3. Leather cleaner/conditioner

Exterior
1. Wash
2. Clay
3. Wash
4. Something similar to a glaze or an all-in-one product such as Klasse AIO. Zaino has an AIO product as well.
5. Sealant

I wouldn't wait and would do this right away.

Follow OC 335i's list. Do not wait, and you should ask the dealer not to wash or detail it if you can.

This is the most important step of the whole detailing process
