Products used: (feel free to click the link below for more info) Exterior: Adam's Car Wash P21S Total Auto Wash (engine, presoak, wheel wells, tires) Uber Yellow Wash Sponge Uber Clay Bar kit with Optimum No Rinse Einszett Spray Wax Menzerna PO85RD Menzerna Power Lock Wheels/Tires Sonax Wheel Cleaner Swissvax Pneu Interior: Sonax Dashboard Cleaner Leather Master Trio Tools: Infratech 5300 Fenix TK11 Fenix TK40 Brinkmann Flex 3403 Makita The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch) Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels Uber Drying Towels Brushes Cam Spray Pressure Wash and Foam Canon Attachment Interior        Using the Fenix TK11 as an interior spot light Before Rear Mat  After Rear Mat  Stains and marks on seats  After  Boot Before  After   After Interior    Before Exterior      P21S Autowash on the tires and wheel wells   Wheels  Sonax in action   Some agitation     Wash      Claying   Drying  Cleaning up water marks Before  After  After Power Lock                 (Permission was granted by the owner to post photos and write up) |

Good work guys
on a side note: IMO car would look much better without orange reflectors and front plates. Damn DOT regulations |

Beautiful car and wonderful job! Is it a 4.3 or 4.7 engine? I hear the power difference is much better on the new 4.7 engine.

Hey Phil, does that Sonax do any good on exhaust tips? Is brake dust be different enough from exhaust build up for it not to really work?
Along those lines, my 335i stock tips look painted like the rims, so I'm afraid to use steel wool or be too aggressive with P21s metal polish. Am I alright with what I have?

Fantastic work guys, as usual! One of my all-time favorite cars! So is it true - everything that looks like metal is metal - like all the buttons and knobs? How about the center console trim - is that metal too?
