    So one of my good friends just got this car for his 30th bday and he wanted to get it cleaned up and protected. Color is silverstone metallic, the pics just don't do the car justice. no correction was done, as the car was in pretty good condition straight from the dealer. shocking huh? Sorry no before pics, and please excuse some of the pics. i'm still learning how to take quality pics with an SLR.

    Foamed with heavy mixture of CWC and TAW via foam cannon+karcher
    Washed with 2BM with CWC+Opt car wash.
    Wheels got CG diablo with various brushes
    Tires got Tropi-care white pearl
    Interior wiped down with 1Z CP
    Clayed with zaino red clay
    Glazed with CG EZ creme
    Sealed with 845
    Topped with Dodo Juice rainforest rub

    After we finished, another friend came over and we went to take some more photos.

    Nice job. How did you find the 845 to interact with EZ Creme? Im debating what to put on my black LS430 for this summer:
    EZ Creme -> Jetseal -> Petes 53 or
    EZ-Creme -> 845 -> Petes 53 or
    EZ-Creme -> Menz FMJ -> Petes 53

    didn't notice any adverse effects. we let the ez creme sit for about 15min before buffing off, then went straight to 845.

    Nice car, and good job...I can't stand that Silverstone, as it's really baby blue. Had a friend with an M6 in Silverstone, and another with an M3 Sedan in Silverstone.

    How do you like rainforest rub? and have you used any other dodo waxes and if so, how does RR compare (excluding SN)?

    E39 M5 FTW

    E30 M3 aside, best M car ever built

    not a fan of silverstone either, it looked good as the E39 M5 launch colour with the shadow chrome oem wheels and black bumper/door trim breaking it up, but looks very boring on the newer cars

    ive tried all of the dodo waxes except for the ones made in conjunction with DetailingWorld. i really can't tell much of a difference among the standard hard/soft waxes offered by DJ. They all pretty much act the same, easy on easy off. as for looks, i would say SN and Juiced Edition have a "warmer glow" than the others.

    me too. in person it looks almost baby blue-ish. I wouldn't complain tho if my gf bought me one!

    what the?! That's pretty sick man. The BMW Krew LoL. You guys are in uniform rocking the BBS's

    I think BMW's are pretty sick the high maintenance part scares me away though.
