Today I felt like pampering my mom's X5 which has been neglected with only regular washes at the local car wash and has never been polished nor waxed. I wish I had taken pictures before I started to show all of you what the skin looked like and how bad it was. I started off by giving it a good ol' wash then clayed the entire car from top to bottom. Half way through claying it I had to throw the bar away since it got full of gunk/contaminants and tear open a new one. After claying it I cleaned the paint with P21S Paintwork Cleansing Lotion (bought from AG). I then finished it off with a coat of WG Deep Gloss Paint Sealant (bought from AG). All the windows have been cleaned with DP Krystal Vision Glass Cleaner (bought from AG).The final finish is now glossy and super slick take a peep by clicking on the pictures below.

P.S. sorry for the multipe thread posts, I dont know why but when I hit preview post two times it posted my thread.

Nice looking vehicle.

Why don't you go back to the edit and close the post that you do not want. It is a simple matter to delete then and then they are gone. I beleive that if you can edit something you can delete it also.

I tried looking if I can close the other threads that were made in error. I think I need to get a mod to delete/close them for me.
