My friend needs cleaning products for his jet black e90
Any recommendations? Only sticking to stuff that can be bought at pep boys or kragen or some auto parts store near 626. He washed his car yesterday and now its filthy. And how does he get rid of the swirls? Thanks.

You need a buffer for black cars.

Buffers aren't impossible to learn but I hear it's quite a handful if you want to do it right.

Same question in 2 subforums, right? Some buffers have 'safety cut off' for lack of better words, meaning you can burn the paint off if improperly use. Yes, you can learn...just nothing you can find locally like stated. |

Hell, I will just quote myself from someone elses thread.

I can promise you... like, 100%, that if you try to use a rotary for the first time on a black BMW, no matter how much reading you've done, you're going to hack that sucker up. My advice, read about RO's like the Flex, then buy one, then practice with it on a crap car, then use it on the BMW. |

youtube has some good vids too btw. also, if u really wanna clean that bmw, w/ all the buffin, swirl removal, wax/polish, its gonna put u bak at least 200 since u'll want a flex or portercable to start out with. from there, u gotta worry about pads, microfiber towels, clay bars, waxes (souveran or carnauba)
