And, while we're pick you apart LOL!
First pic: side trim just below marker light has some wax in the top seam. I detail 2 BMW's a week and the "Hawkeye" shop owner points this stuff out to me all the time.
Otherwise....STUNNING CAR! AND GREAT JOB!....now, get out there and clean those seams mister! J/K
I gotta do a silver 740iL today myself.

Great job, bro.Glenn Litts said:hey guys just wanted to brag on my BLACK BEAST E-46 ZHP 330 coupe, lemme know what you think... MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYBODY!:righton:
3-series. I love it. My girlfriend drives one, and yeah, it's a reminder to try out some new products. Sounds like time for Extreme makeover. I know that she will love it for sure.

Wow, a few of you guys diggin on my ride- I'm flattered man!
A few asked what products I use.
Currently: zainos-clay bar-twice a year-lube with speedshine; Glaze:3mI mperial hand glaze( but I do use a porter orbital on 3-4-orange pad.
Wax-p21s-two coats-24 hours apart. Speedshine detail mist. 3mrubber treat on the tires-top with high gloss Meguiars. I use one grand under the hood,
I have been using meguiars suds-but I know there are better-and I do need to switch over-to poorboys or others. I have put my car next to brand new bimmers and mine does look wetter, It has amazed me over the past four to five years how many great products are out there and the difference they make. Finally- I'm new here...have you guys done secret weapons tricks and tips in a while? I have some to add that I have developed and others that I stole from other car crazies. Mine are cheap invention type things like using an old four wheel roler chair bottom for my hoses. and One I stole from a buddy is to use a cut off hose with about 24 inches to it with a quick cut off- i use it to gently poor the water over my car while cleansing. I know pictures would be better-if this is something anyone wants I will.
take care all- and again thanks for the feelback!

Well, welcome aboard Glenn. You'd probably pass out at the shop where I detail: nothing but BMW's! The owner is a reseller and buys late model cars out of BMW Leasing, then I recondition them for sale. It's a lot of work..but fun work.
For interior work, invest in a high quality boar's hair brush. They are the absolute best for leather washing and cleaning.
If you have access to a pressure washer, that's what I use to get excess wax out of body seams and moulding edges. I do an average of 2 cars per week and that keeps me busy.
Check out the Gallery under my name for some examples and ideas.
See Ya Sir
