My E92 washed, clayed, sealed and waxed...

M3350Z · 05-25-2008, 03:21 PM

Got a beautiful day here on Long Island and decided to do a little 4 hour detail on my 335i. No mods on the car except the tint and the front lip. I've never clayed before so this was my first attempt. Lots of thanks to the extensive detailing thread under the wash and wax section. I apologize for the quality of the photos, they're from my iPhone. Hoping to pick up a dSLR in the weeks coming.

Also, for those interested I used Armor All car wash, then Mothers clay and California QD, then Zaino Z2 cured with ZFX, and finally Meguiar's tech wax (I made due because it was what I bought a while ago). Hope you enjoy

What's good for getting that exhaust dust off? Some of that stuff just won't come off

Go to your local autoparts store, they have tons of products that clean up different kinds of metal found on cars.
