Nice clean car, good job. The digs aren't too shabby either!

Great work! White is a tough color to make look good because it's SO dull. I guess this client really likes white cars though since it looks like they have two of them. Also, do you know what's up with the port'o potty on the front lawn?

Its actually in the rear of the home. They are having construction done.

I wonder why people have such crappy truck mats in such nice vehicles. Great work on the detail though, very nice!

Another super job from Pat! Great work, the car look outstanding. Never use Megs Color X. What polish can you compare it to?

By the way, I think you meant Xi, not iX.

Sparkie...

ColorX is a great one stepper and topping it with NXT makes it a great combo. It removed a ton of the scuffs and marks on the car. I would say its up there with Megs #80 in absrasiveness. For like $7.00 its a great deal.

I love your process........all Meg's.

ColorX and NXT make for an awesome and inexpensive finish.

Interior is imacculate too.

Oh yeah.......about the BMW dust.....

I do abou 5 Bimmers per month and they have all wheels coated in dust everytime I see them. I use Wheel Brighter 3:1 to get them clean initially. I have coated all of them with DP Wheel Glaze too now. I didn't charge extra for it though. I saw it as a long-term back breaking shield for myself. I've even coated them with NXT and got really great results. Same for the wood trims inside. NXT does great on them.

All German cars dust like crazy (Audi, VW, BMW, MBZ, Porsche), but that dust is very easy to remove(unless vehicle wasn't washed for a while, that's whn P21S gel wheel cleaner does the job). I use just soap and water, coupled up with OXO Ergonomic Wheel Brush, and it does an excellent job in cleaning those wheels. Very safe too.
