What to do when I pick up my 325i...

kpn111 · 05-29-2006, 06:25 PM

So I've only been a member for like 1 week, but it seems like I'm on this site every other hour. I've been reading over different posts and am a bit confused as to what everyone has been recommending when it comes to how to protect the car's paint and interior. I am getting a 325i in Jet Black with Black Leatherette...Can I get some straight tips/answers as to what I should do to protect the interior and exterior?

in Advance!!!

Can't speak much about the exterior, rather that Jet Black is a PITA to maintain (susceptible to swirls) and demands constant attention (regular buffing, waxing, detailing etc). Most posters here would sell you on the complete Zaino package and the use of the Porter Cable (PC)

For interior, leatherette is easy to maintain. Try 303 aerospace or vinylex by Lexol for dash etc, but really a good damp wipe down every now and then should do it...

Yeah I'm pretty much hooked on this site as well, its a fantastic resource for every aspec of your e90 ownership (i.e. from ordering, tracking, delivery, maintenance, mods etc)
