geeeh my car was dirty !! Time to clean up

[my73bimmer]

It has been like 2 months since I washed my car. Last Weekend, I replaced the rear breaks and mounted the hitch but my vert was really dirty...After I was done, I needed to take some pic's. I feel proud of my car again 8-)
I decided to clean her yesterday and finished with the last details today.... What products do you guys use ?? I like to use the Meguiar's products. The wash, Paint Cleaner, Car Polish and the Quik Wax. For the seats, I like leatherique products....the Rejuvinator Oil and the pristine clean.

Here are some pic's before and after...


Look at those Ronals !!

The Hood and rims needed some work....

After the wash... the first step.. the Paint Cleaner....

I think is getting there...

Hey ! how about the interior ??
Before...


Getting there... I need to leave the Leatherique product overnight...


Final Product this morning with the pristine clean..

what are those red rings on ther tires-- did you paint the whitewalls red?

car looks beautiful! I only use Meguires wax on all my cars.


how long do the seats stay looking that shiney/good with that stuff?

those would be redline tires. coker came up with them in the 60s

car looks hot, what did you use on the paint?

I used Meguire's "Paint Cleaner". That thing brings the color of the paint back to life.
Basically, I go with 2 clothes...One for applying the Paint Cleaner and in a matter of 10 seconds after applying a small area, I cleaned it with a softer cloth trying to avoid to leave any residue of the product. So, I usually do small areas of the car little by little. It usually takes me from 2 - 3 hrs to do only the exterior.
The products are a 3 steps process.... The Paint Cleaner (add and remove immediately), then the car polish (same thing) and last but not least the wax. Sometimes I skip the wax (like yesterday...lol ).

Looks nice. It's different seeing a set of repoduction red line tires on an e30. Maybe someone should put a set of blue line tires on their blue e30? :o

And also, Coker wasn't the one who made redline tires in the 60's.

Nice vert !

nice wash. did you wax at all?

nice wash. did you wax at all?

I did not wax the car this time.... I was already tired so I skipped the wax..

I got the car with those tires. Kind of different but the red lines are wearing off already. I may be looking for another set of tires soon..
