    This BMW M3 was in dire need of some TLC!

    I went ahead and gave this car an Initial Swissvax exterior package. No work was done to the interior.

    The entire process took about 8 hours.

    Here's how the car looked when it arrived:

    I started the cleansing stage with the wheels. The wheels got a nice coat of SONAX Full Effect, and the tires and wheel wells were cleaned with 1Z W99.

    Following the wheels, I proceeded to clean the rest of the exterior. P21S TAW was used in all the body crevices, plastic mesh parts, and other hard-to-reach areas. I also Cleaned all the rubber seals using P21s TAW. The next step was washing the exterior using Swissvax Car Bath and a Swissvax Waschpudel.

    After the wash, I proceeded to clay the entire exterior surface using Swissvax Paint Rubber, including the Paint, Glass, and Wheels. Following that, the entire vehicle was given a wipe down with Isopropyl alcohol to remove the clay residue.

    Following the alcohol wipe down, I proceeded to apply Swissvax Seal Feed and Protection to all the Rubber and Plastic parts respectively. Next, I applied Cleaner Fluid Medium using the Porter Cable with a Swissvax Gloss pad (Black). This left the paintwork with an incredible shine that had to be seen to be believed; while attaining about 20-30% correction of the paintwork.

    The paintwork was thereafter given a coat of Swissvax Blau-Weiss wax for BMW Paint Systems, and a final wipe down with Swissvax Quick Finish.

    Great job. Is this your house? My question is about the paver driveway. My driveway is comprised of pavers the color of the lighter 2 shades in your pictures. I clean my wheels in the street when I use the Sonax FE becasue I am afraid of the Purple staining the pavers or the pavers reacting to the Sonax. Thanks!
