So clean! What products do you use? Black is the hardest color to maintain. My friend (who has a black e90) and I just washed our cars today, he just used meguiars polish which got rid of alllll the water spots that were stained on his cars from the chemicals in sprinklers. Just looking around trying to see what are the best products to use.

Currently I'm using Mother's California Gold Wash and Wax and Meguiar's NXT Tech Wax 2.0 and occasionally their polish..I hear the best products are online though. Any tips?

You should check out some threads in the Detailing section.. It may be overwhelming at first, but there's a lot of good info in there.

Wow guys thanks for all the nice comments!!

I use just regular car shampoo from the car stuff store, in this case the greenish turtle wax variety, I do a rinse first with an electric pressure washer, then spray the shampoo on from a recycled windex bottle containing 50/50 mixture of shampoo and water, rinse again with the pressure washer, then hand wash with a nice blue fuzzy mitten with moar shampoo, rinsing it every few strokes, rinse thoroughly with the pressure washer, and then microfiber towel dry as the sun sets, no wax this time. It takes about two hours but that's what Saturdays are for!
