use valet pro snow foam, 2 bucket wash with chemical guys, sonus clay, lime prime lite by DA polisher, poorboys black hole glaze then r222 wax to finish.

Have ordered some menzerna polish to get rid of a few swirl marks/scratches that have appeared.

Overall im really pleased with the results

You've done a great job there, looks great!

Interesting you used poorboys black hole glaze, apart from the name making me laugh when I first heard it, my detailer mate John used it on mine and highly recommends it.

Looks great, thought it was black from the first couple of pics, but love the flip in the paint as the sun catches it. Very nice

It has a red fleck in the paint, only noticeable when the sun hits it. It's BMW Individual colour, Ruby Black. Looks stunning against the red leather when the sun is on it

Nice work pal....looks spot on!!

You know I haven't actually got the car detailed since getting it...that's over a year now. I get her to use meguiars and 2 bucket method and she normally gets the car gleaming enough.
