Mini winter detail

Gave my E92 a mini detail today, thought I'd share with everyone

Looks good. Black is always impressive when clean.


That'll last about 500 yards in this weather.

Thanks! Yeah I know, hopefully the wax will be a bit more protective for the next few weeks as it has PTFE in it.

I used Dodo Juice Supernatural Leather cleaner. It's not the best but it's pretty good value for money.

Looks amazing, especially the leather. I have red leathers too so may try that product. Did you use a conditioner/protector afterwards?

Thank you! I'll be doing paintwork correction on it soon, so hopefully it'll "pop" even nicer in the future. As the previous owners never took care of her she's literally full of swirls but since I've had her I've been able to get some life back into the bodywork. Also some arse hole reversed into the back of the car the other day and drove off, so I want to get that sorted out.

I've applied Gtechniq L1 before but Tbh modern leathers are so good you really dont need conditioners - detailing industry is rife with conditioning products but few car interiors need them.

Looking good, I'm going to tackle mine today it's looking like it's been through a field.

Yeah ran out of time. Got some wire wool on order to go with my metal Polish. Needs a good scrub and shine to get the carbon build up off it
