Well I finally get to do the BMW but the sad part is that I only did a wash and wax. The vehicle is actually in descent shape, some parts really need polishing but other parts are quite good. Well here we go.
2007 BMW 328Xi
Exterior Process
Wash:
I used Zymol Clear Auto Bathe with two bucket method and the white ShMITT.
Clay:
The vehicle was in okay shape so I used Ricardo clay bar, gave it a quick clay. When I get it (hopefully at the end of the month) I’ll do a better job at claying it, I actually was watching the clock for this one.
Polishing:
No polishing, but I get to do it a gain hopefully at the end of the month yay…the full package inside, outside, engine and my favorite part correction (polishing) woooohoooo.
Prepping for wax:
Pinnacle Carnauba Finishing Glaze, applied by hand with a foam applicator and removed by hand with the Cobra Indigo Polishing Cloth.
Wax:
1 – Coat of Pinnacle Liquid Souveran applied by hand with a foam applicator and removed by hand with the Cobra Indigo Polishing Cloth.
Rims/wheel wells/Tires:
For the rims I used P21S gel formula agitated with my Swissol wheel brush. After rims where cleaned I finished them off first with 1 – Coat of Pinnacle Liquid Souveran
For the wheel wells I used P21S Total Auto Wash full strength
Wheel wheel wells were finished off with Stoner Trim Shine
Tires where finished off with Meguiar’s Endurance Tire Protectant Gel
Exterior plastic peaces/trim:
I used Meguiar’s Gold Class Trim Detailer
Glass:
Stoners with Cobra Waffle Weave Microfiber Glass Towel
Observations/comments:
I don’t like having a time restriction. I really don’t know how some individuals that do this as a business do it. I like taking my time, feeling the vehicle out, inspecting every panel and re-inspecting. Well I think I really need to pick up my speed hahahaha. But I prefer to take my time and enjoy every panel, one at a time.
Enough chit chat now for pictures:

The paint looks like milk, mmmmm 
Liquid souveran really works on white paint. Sweet. I enjoyed the pictures and the writeup. No detailing this weekend?
