    Finally detailed my BMW Jet Black e92!

    First of all, I don't know how you older gentlemen do it, I'm in my early 20s and it was a workout. My back is killing me lol, well worth it though.

    Huge thanks to SMACK for his guidance and tips, thanks my friend! And thank you Mike Phillips, I think I read every single article you have written before I tackled this job.

    List of steps that were taken/ products used:
    -Washed using the 2 bucket method with Dawn dish soap
    -Clayed, Meguiars Clay kit
    -Meguiars DA g110v2
    -WG Total Swirl Remover w/ LC CCS orange pads
    -WG Finishing Glaze w/ LC CCS white pads
    -WGDGPS


    With that said, on to the pics! Let me know what you guys think. Excuse the phone pics, I was too tired to grab my dslr.

    First obligatory 50/50 shot

    Beautiful job Jr! Looking good! Very nice 50/50 shot. That is how a black German beauty should look!

    What did you think of the Wolfgang products?

    Thanks Mike! I think they were super easy to work with. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. The wgdgps smelled great lol and it was a breeze to buff off. Very satisfied with the results I was able to achieve.

    Awesome results! Smack is the BMW man to learn from!!

    If you haven't already picked some up, Detailer's Wheel Coating is great for dealing with brake dust build up. Cleaning up my e93's rims is so much easier now with just soap and water. Adds a nice shine too.
