This is my friend's 2006 BMW 530xi with 142,000 miles on it. He wanted me to clean it up for him so him and I took 9 hours last Saturday and it came out really nice.

I did all the leather in my friend's car with Meg's Leather Cleaner and the porter cable with upholstery attachment. Conditioned the leather with chemical guys leather conditioner. Meg's quick interior detailer on the rest of the plastic and wood.

Meg's APC + on the tires, Meg's wheel brightener on the wheels, Meg's hyper dressing on the tires and trim.

I wet sanded the headlights that were extremely hazed over (you can see the before and afters pics) used 800 grit, 1000 grit, 1500 grit, 2000 grit in a cross hatch pattern then compounded with M101 then 205 with a yellow pad on a drill. Protected with Meg's Plast X, Wolfgang sealant 3.0 and Adam's spray sealant

Clay barred with the speedy prep towel and Gary Dean's IUDJ, used Adam's Revive to clean the paint. Glazed with Poor Boy's black hole and then topped with Nanoskin Hydrophobic Wax.

After an hour cure time it was then topped with Pinnacle Souveran paste wax.

The daylight pictures are with black hole and hydrophobic wax, the night photos (he couldn't stick around so I could get good day time pictures) are of the car fully finished with the Pinnacle Souveran.

Pinnacle Souveran night shots only (he assured me the next day that it looked amazing, better than the day when he got it used in 2009)
