    Got this car from a member at e90post.

    Took a different approach on this car. The car was pretty clean but needed a some clay and more of a light polish /sealant/and wax.

    I decided to use Einszett Metallic, followed by Einszett Glanz, and finished with Swissvax Crystal Rock.

    The interior needed a nice clean up. And the rest was pretty much the detail work.

    Products used:
    Exterior:
    Adam's Car Wash
    Swissvax Yellow Clay Bar and Optimum Instant Detail Spray and Gloss Enhancer
    Einszett Spray Wax
    P21S Finish Restorer Metal Polish (on the tips)
    Einszett Metallic
    Einszett Glanz
    Swissvax Crystal Rock

    Wheels and tires:
    Adam's Green Wheel Cleaner
    Swissvax Pneu (tire dressing)
    Adam's Undercarriage Spray

    Interior and Glass
    Leather Master Rapid S
    Leather Master Protection Cream
    Einszett Cockpit
    Lusso Glass Polish
    Einszett Plastic/Vinyl Cleaner

    Tools:
    Infratech 5300
    Makita 9227 Hi Speed Rotary
    The Uber Foam Pads (5.5inch)
    Tons of "Uber" Microfiber Towels
    Uber Drying Towels

    Brushes
    Infratech CM5300

    well done, Phil! Question, that Leather Master Rapid S foaming cleaner, I never saw you using it before. How do you like it? Is it for special leather only???

    looks awesome Phil! How did you like the glanz? I used it the other night and was really impressed. How easy was it to top it off with a nuba?

    cleaning up the paint and light polishing.. no correction needed on this car.

    its a great leather cleaner, its less cleaning power than strong cleaner.

    works great on leather in great condition.

    less cut than strong I was just made aware of this recently.

    love glanz always have its looks good and last long, we sell a ton of this to guys in WA.

    It was super easy to top it!

    Looks great. Phil what's your opinion on that undercarriage spray.

    I've been using it for a couple years now and love it, I might switch up to see if I like Einszett Vinyl/Rubber care better...

    to me its just there for when the customer picks up, its not going to last after a few drives... :)

    Ah darn, know any products off hand that do last for a while?

    What I have found is if its driven eventually everything is going to wear down.

    if you do a full detail wheel wells etc and take the wheels off I would do black wow :)

    that should work well.
