A co-worker recently acquired this 98 M3 convertable and asked me to clean it up...
Wash: Meg's GC - 2 buckets w/grit guard, some areas were pre-treated with SC Road Trip Grime Destroyer
Wheels: Treated with P21 gel, scrubbed with EZ Detail brush
Tires: Cleaned with ARO, dressed with SC Beyond Black
Clay: Meg's OTC clay bar and QD (This car was REALLY in need of a claying, no baggie test needed, it felt like sandpaper).
Polish: Paint was pretty swirled and the CC was really hard (at least compared to my Toyota's) so after some experimenting I used SIP on an orange low profile pad followed by Nano on a white pad, some problem areas got PG on a yellow pad (YIKES!)
Protection: Klasse AIO followed by DP Max Wax followed by Liquid Spray Souveran
Glass: Stoners IG
Engine: Cleaned with ARO then covered with AA Tire Foam
Interior: Cleaned with Woolite and H20 mix, protected with 303, some problem areas saw a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser used carefully.
Convertible Top: I had to use a lint roller first, the previous owner must have had a cat. Protected with 303
Enough with the small talk... on to the pics!
