Spent about 4 hours today cleaning the exterior of my mums car, Too tired to do the interior now. Started off by De tarring the whole car which must be one of the most monotonous jobs in the world. I then t-cuted the whole thing, then polished it with Auto Glym Super Resin Polish and then finished it off with Megiuars Tech Wax. I did the windows with Auto Glym Glass cleaner and Auto Glym Glass Polish and I used Auto Glym Tyre Dressing on the tyres which is the only product i would not recommend. It causes lots of dirt to stick to the wheels. Meguiars Tyre Gel is far superior.

Sorry about the quality of the pictures but i used my phone for them.












Im really happy with the finished result and so is my mum.

Bumpers are Bmw ones but not standard. Any they cost alot to, £362.64 or something similar for the front one as i had to pay for one after a wee incident. And that isnt painted either.

I quite like them normally, but those bumpers make it look worse if you ask me. Nice work on the cleaning though.

So it's kinda like an irmscher item but for BMW? £362 isnt that bad then really considering the price of an irmscher airdam .

not keen on the bumpers, but it looks clean.

I'd have one, they're very nice to drive.

Not the one at the top of the screen, I personaly think that looks worse than standard.

But the standard model drives so well, and in black it looks quality.
