Products used for the interior:
AS Brisk in Vax for seats and carpets. On a dampened cloth for the Alcantara. G101 Megs Quik Interior Detailer (It's not a bad product considering. Smells nice, think clean and lemons) Megs Window Cleaner Concentrate Gliptone Cleaner for Steering Wheel, hand brake and gear stick. For exterior: G101 for grills, badges, panel gaps, window seals etc. Megs Shampoo Plus. I tried AS Duet for a bit, but didn't like it, so back to the Plus! AS Hazsafe, 101 and Plus mix for foam. AS Tardis Iron X Megs clay with Last Touch Menzerna RD3.02 on Hexlogic yellow/SFX-1 pads. Finished down to LSP ready via Porter Cable. Werkstatt Acrylic Arcrylic Prime for the bright work on the grill. Megs Endurance for the tyres. I topped up with another layer of Werkstatt last week. All that's left to do now is paint up the callipers and disk bells silver!

I think red & blacks etc do always come up better. You can see the difference more if you know what I mean, you must be a bit of a pro!!

Autoglym super resin polish Autoglym Ultra deep shine Autoglym extra gloss protection But instead of using the Autoglym wax. i use a liquid wax called primo amigo( something like that). It really those make the car look nice. I think the 2 best things when detailing your car is the claying and using the DA machine. i have only started using the claying method recently and the difference it makes is a lot. i have recently got a good deal on some g3 supergloss paste wax. has anyone tried this. also what do you use to sort out faded black trim |

To clean the shadow line trim you want a good paint cleanser such as Werkstat Prime Strong or Clearkote Vanilla Moose... Werkstat Prime Strong... Clearkote Vanilla Moose...

I was thinking somthing like chemical guys hexlogic green, white and black pads, some megs #80 and #83, poorboys white diamond and collinite 476s (already got a nearly new tin). My car is Alpine White btw. |

Hello mate, if you have never used one i would suggest getting door or bonnet from the scrappy and have a go on that 1st. As for pads i like 3M but only because i get them free

I've got a BMW e36 track car to practise on so that's not an issue. Is there any specific instructions to use when working with BMW paint as I've heard it is harder than other marques?
