One Beemer, this had 190 000 km:s and looked like crap when I started out.

Hours later, this is what came out.

Well, this will be a long list.....
Lahega Herobiol Extra, degreaser (Swedish brand)
Lahega Microl 648, tix degreaser (Swedish brand)
Kombi Kemi schampo (Swedish brand)
The polisher was Flex VV-602, 1500 watt
Top Tool wax machine, 1200 Watt with 125 mm pads, orange for wax on, black soft for wax off (I never wipe it off by hand)
Clay bar medium
3M Perfect-It deoxidizer-medium
3M Perfect-It 09376 mild polish
I think the wax was Meguiar's...
Autosmart Vinyl Shield for plastics on the exterior (Swedish brand)
Wurth Tyre Foam
I used a heap of an all-cleaner for wet cleaning the carpets of the car and all the plastics before topping the plastics with Plexus.
Inno glass foam (Swedish brand)
Had to repair the leather too but you will have to have damn good eyes to see it...

That's all, I think. Thanks for all positive comments, you guys know detailing and I appreciate it.

I can't blame ya, I'm Swedish and most of the stuff is produced here. Degreasers, interior cleaning and what not. Check out Plexus and 3M, that's good stuff.

That's a lot of miles, but a damn fine looking paint job! Great job on keeping it clean, especially with the Swedish weather.

polish the headlamps. Wetsand + 3M rubbing compound and some wax and it should be stunning.

Thanks guys. This car was stolen from our company due to some mafia business, later found, looked like s@@t and smelled cigarettes inside. Before detailing it nobody cared, after fixing it and promoting it it went straight away.

Thanks for the suggestion. I did polish and waxed the headlamps but I have yet to learn how to wetsand. Tell me how it's done, please?

Since this baby I have started to use Edge pads, which gives a better result which might be seen on the X5 I have as an avatar.
