Very nice.

davyk31 · 06-14-2011, 09:13 AM

Looks great, what products have you used? Looks swirl free which is great for a dark colour.

Very nice, especially the swirl free bit.
Question on the Bug Blitz: does it strip the wax, thereby requiring a re-polish every time, or can you get away with a few wash/blitz sessions in between waxing?
Thanks,
Jon D.

AWBimmer · 06-14-2011, 01:11 PM

Cleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeean!

dxb335d · 06-14-2011, 01:15 PM

Where do you get your elbow grease from?!

Baby Dave · 06-14-2011, 01:43 PM

You can usually get away with a few wash/blitz sessions without waxing.

Nice nice motor Hitman.

Do you not fancy a performance grill for it, or are they not available for M3's?

Thanks Cyprio.

I am pretty sure you can get the performance grill for the M3s.

Can anyone recommend a good wax for black which may hide swirls without a lot of faf doing paint correction etc?
