Well the owner dont "care" that much when it comes to keeping this car at its best.

I brought it home today to "fresh" it up a little, even that it had needed a Menz workout i didnt have the time to do that, and it bothers me that i use 2 days on a swirl job, and its not taken care of afters (he is a NO pay, aka family)

Well i do enjoy washing and cleaning, so thats not the issue, but its kinda waste of time when it gets bad again after 1 or 2 washes, well its not THAT bad, but after ive got "brainwashed" and had my head "detailed" at AGol lol, i se SWIRLS everywhere, man im laying down in my driveway to get the "right view form the right angle" to find`em, and my neighbours thinks i have pased out or something...lol



What did i do:

Wash the car
Wash the engien
Clean innside (man thats boooooring)
Wells, wheels
And a swipe of the one an only: AquaWax..

New toys:

Well i used a Karcher Foam Lance, snow foam and Duragloss 591 marine & RV washConc to soak the car, worked well.

"Old" stuff that still impress me:

Duragloss Aquawax (it got to be the best "spray wax/QDer")
Duragloss rain repel (just try it)
Wolfgang Black diamond tire gel (brings it back)
P21s wheel gel (c-l-e-a-n-s)

Even though it's frustrating that they don't take care of it, at least they keep bringing it back to you, right? :) Nice job.

GREAT JOB Truls!

I've got a similar X3 to start on this week (black/black interior).

I am finishing a "quickie" detail on an 06 325i (black) that will be delivered tomorrow. Because this is a pre-sold car for the owner's daughter, I just used Meguiar's #83 for swirl/scratch removal and will put a coat of #26 on it today.

Will post pics when I'm done

See Ya

It looks the same as last time Truls! Just kidding Truls. I think it was winter the last time you detailed it. Looks great!
