My car looked the same way when I got her! Now I wax it once every month or two, and she looks great. Keep up the good work! :up:

Just picked up all this for $100. He said he used the buffer maybe five or six times, and it looks like it. Anyone ever use the Klasse brand stuff?

[stumble_t]

Yea Klasse is great. All that stuff you got is good. Sweet deal!

I bought a porter cable 7424 about a year ago and it has to be one of the best $100 I have ever spent. I just used it last week on my car with some 3M Finesse it finishing material........Amazing

Just make sure you use a good quality pad, I really like the Lake Country stuff.

Haha, I think when I took the pic I was in the middle of my dash swap and had things all over the car!






Took a few pics tonight, but it was getting a bit dark...Will take more tomorrow in the daylight.

This reminds me of a guy locally who bought a crusty red E30 for $250. I loaned him my GlossHaus kit, and he had a big time with it: linky to pix

As far as wax sealants are polymer waxes that bond to paint and protect very well - they just don't have the wet gloss that carnauba does. Carnauba's disadvantage is it doesn't last as well. The solution is to put down sealant, let it bond to the paint (usually takes 24 hours) and then top it with carnauba. Best of both worlds!

I found the Sealant Glaze (gray bottle) to be difficult and fussy to remove. I switched a few years ago to Zaino and find that to be very durable and easy to use. I use straight Klasse AIO on my van.

Thats because you put too much. You are supposed to put a VERY VERY small amount.

Jesus, a $250 E30 with those seats? What are those?

I know, but no matter what it was a pita. Zaino is a breeze and it lasts a long time (it better for what it costs).
