Just finished experimenting with BF APC @ 4:1 on the bimmer's leather seats- no good. My towel was staining black from all the pigment coming off after only light agitation.....Ok..... I had a 4 oz. sample of BF Interior Cleaner, so I gave that a try; same issue. And all this w/a towel...

Recently, I polished out the wood trim in my ’00 540i. It was marred from the previous owner using god-knows-what as a towel to clean the dirty interior of the car (unwashed terry cloth, who knows?). I popped off the trim and proceeded to select a combination to remove the defects with. I...

That looks phenomenal man. I picked up a 540i a couple months ago but the weather lately hasn't cooperated enough for my first correction, so I was curious: (i.) How many passes were you making with the 105 & 205, respectively? (ii.) What hydrotech pads did you use & how many did you go...

This one was in a dry basement 60-77 all year round. Looking forward to using in the spring then. Can you imagine a guy's face who purchases Zymol Royale Glaze and finds out the 5+ year shelf life was more like 2 Years fro some reason? Guess that would never happen though bc i'm assuming the...

Thank You, I just saved myself the expense of another purchase (until it runs out of course!). I have another one though: What's the guidance in regards to paste carnauba? I have half-a-jar of S100 that i haven't touched in 3+ years. What is the shelf life of paste carnaubas?

I have a bottle of Klasse AIO (1/2 full) that has been sitting in the garage for the past 2 years. The problem is I lost the cap, and so these two years have seen the AIO "cap-less". Question is, will the AIO still be good to use? Has the product lost its integrity b/c of there being no cap, or...

I swear I don't try to instigate... What do people think of his claim about rotary being more advantageous for finishing than a DA though? To me, it seems almost counterintuitive to claim this to be the case given some of the potential issues one faces when polishing w/the rotary. I mean...

You gotta be kidding me! What products and pads did you use exactly?? I can only imagined how disappointed you were. Kind of like waking up as a kid Christmas morning and seeing only one gift under the tree...which turned about to be socks..that ur grandmother knitted..ha!

I came across this article browsing yesterday's posts: Rotary Compounding – Is It Dead? | Todd Cooperider Online Someone had embedded it in their reply to the OP of a recent thread (sorry, can't seem to locate the thread to give the embedder any credit) and I, for some reason, found it to be...

Thanks for the info. Wow. That Vette's paint was in phenomenal condition before anything was even done to it.

So you're telling me I won't be a pro after just 1 mustang 5.0 fender?!?! ha! Purchased a foam 6 pack (Lake) and chose their yellow, orange (2x),green,blue, gray. No red b/c applying any LSP by hand. No go on the rotary, huh? Damn, I was working with a friend's porter cable that he's letting...

Just a rotary. Figured that would suffice b/c I had planned on applying any LSP by hand, thus rendering the DA unnecessary if I have the rotary for correction. Might consider a DA though if it saves time! I have ~ 1/4 bottle of 3m compound and even less of their Perfect-It (guy I work with...

Just picked up DA and rotary. Honing skills on old mustang fender I have laying around. Bimmer is Anthracite Metallic.Beautiful color, just begging to shine! So you recommend going w/ the compound for the rest of the car also. Would you do this on softer paint or just b/c of this being BMW...

Hello all. I am somewhat of a newcomer so please bear with me. First things first: it’s good to make your acquaintance. Heard this was the place to come for all things detailing so I wanted to reach out. Just picked up a '00 BMW 540i. Paint is in above average condition, but not stellar. It...
