Could I please get a copy of the DIY :) thanks!

Columbus, where OSU is located, has something for everyone. Many people don't realize how big of a city we are. We are ranked #15 in terms of overall population, bigger than cities such as San Francisco and Miami. With over 800,000 people a city develops a certain level of amenities that...

Central Ohio, just south of Columbus. Since it is just a matter of time I'll go ahead and get is started.......... O-H! :dblthumb2:

Good point..I was thinking after the car washes ect. I will either be doing optimum no rinse or when I have additional time using Mequiars Gold Class car shampoo with microfiber towels and either waffle weave drying towel or leaf blower if I want my neighbors to think I'm crazy:xyxthumbs...

Hi All, I hope I'm in the right place? I just had my car detailed using a multi-step process removing swirls and putting a sealant on that lasts 6-8 months. The professional detail job was a one time financial splurge and I would like to maintain this look as a DIY'er with minimal time so in...

Nice looking car. I also have a black BMW and will be detailing it in a week or so. I had heard horror stories of jet black BMW's but your pics look great. I love the debadged look, it makes the rear look so sexy!

I like all the wonderful knowledge that is on this site. Plus I would really like to win something!

Nope, no Tornador is on my list. I use the Meguire's Gold Class soap with the two bucket method though :) I like the pictures on here when the cars have been soaked with a foam gun.

I have a 3 series. Wish I had a 7 series, but alas just a 3er :) Not to take this thread off topic, but I noticed you are a UK fan! I grew up in southern Ohio, watching UK basketball. Do you think you guys will have a new coach by Monday? Or do you think they will give him another year to...

When you say my BMW could be "silly soft or horrendously hard" are you saying that generally speaking BMW clearcoat can change from car to car? Or does Jet Black BMW have a history of being one or the other? I bought the car used and the paint has been in good shape from the beginning, there...

You guys are already making me feel better about my selection. Can I put the sealant on then do a carnauba wax on top?

Okay, I am new to this detailing thing and certainly new to any product that isn't off of the shelf of my local discount store. I visit this site daily and read the threads and am beginning to get concerned if I bought a good product for my needs? I have a jet black BMW and I bought the...

Yeah I know $500 is just getting started, but my wife feels differently:eek: I owned a black car back in high school, but didn't care much about detailing. This is my first black car as an adult and my first higher end car, so I am really looking forward to keeping it looking good. I must...

Oh, I know! AG is great! I have already spent over $500 and still want some more stuff. I will have a lot of questions in a month or so. I bought the PC 7424 with the Wolfgang kit and will be trying it for the first time, so I will be asking for some advice prior to detailing. I look...

Hello All, I purchased my first BMW in November and it is Jet Black, so I have been using the Optimum No Rinse for the winter to keep it clean and can't wait until spring/summer when I can actually give my car a bath. It is a 2007 but seems to have been taken care of as it has very little...
