Alu is the way to go with the black leather interior.

This colour is nice and the interior was fully loaded with all goodies. The owner now drives an E61 Bmw 530d Touring 2007. I delivered the car to him, nice guy.

These photos are old, back to 2001 but the M5 came out nicely. It wasn't in too good shape but underneath the scratches and dirt was this car.

How about a 335d coupé? That diesel engine is wicked, better than the regular 335. I'm biased a bit since I work with BMW but I second the opinion of the black paint, it's a major pain in the a@@ when it's new. I thought the coupé had a slight Hyundai touch on the lights back....then came along...

I have done several cars without clear coat. It doesn't matter if it's clear coat or not, every time you bring in machines and polish you will eat some of the paint in the process. Imagine going with the PC on your own skin ie, same thing. Well back to subject. It's no big deal to work a paint...

"I do know that the leather cleaning solution we have is pretty strong. You cannot let it stay on the material long because it has enough strength to lift the dye. I've used it on only 2 occasions and it worked well at removing sutbborn stains. I follow the use of that cleaner with plain water...

Nica, a 3M blue clay here is $57!! I'm going to bring home this stuff and sell it myself.

What's the prize tag on those babies? I need those! My wife will kill me but.....

Prizes went down here quickly....

As for brands I use a pro all-cleaner not known to you guys together with a brush and use high-pressure air and microfiber, on clear glass inside no brush of course. Then it's Plexus over the plastics or Stardust Eclat from Autosmart. It gives the right new-car look.

The -01 530 is a really nice car, well built. You make really great details, man. Wanna give my coming car a shot? One thing I get insecure of is to use dishwash soap on car leather, then I think I would have to neutralize it with diluted vinegar essence-1 part 24% vinegar essence diluted with...

I come from the rotary school with Flex VV 602's and a revved up Cyclo with Flex' 1200 watt motor, that was my first gig. Rotary isn't that scary to me but you should try it on old vehicles, non-veteran and try different pads and polishes to see what happens. Nothing beats experience.

You don't need much advice other than on cool shoes? Outstanding job, man. Let 'em pay for it and your wallet will thank you as well. Your photos kill!

Man, I will probably trade the Mazda for a Bmw 118d when possible. Looking for one in August. So far the US hasn't had the heavy environment discussion we have here in Europe but you will in due time. Norway will ban gasoline in 5 years plus, it will not be possible to purchase a new gasoline...

Nica, you bad boy! You got your stuff down, man.

It's good to have a swift solution right there bro. But tell me, does the lubricant inside these machines last for years if you use them every day? I might be overzealous but to me it's like changing oil on the car to clean out the house and put in new lubricant. Just my 0.02.

My experience from leather is that it's not a problem getting the seat slippery if you don't soak it with conditioner after a proper cleaning. A very soft brush can help out cleaning the leather when using strong leather soap before you use your favourite conditioner. The stuff we use at work...

I'm not a PC user (yet) but would it help to open the "house" and put it some new lubricant?

A comment on wool pads: I use the Edge 2K and the lower the speed, the more they cut. I have tried some different methods and if you use the white Edge 2K together with 3M's blue deox or Meg MG-80 to finish the polishing and put the speed up on the rotary (Flex VV 602) to 4 on a scale to 6 then...
