Well, this sweet ride belongs to my friend Chris. He's an Autopian in the rough (but think I fully converted him today). He recently bought this '03 530i with about 42K on the clock--very clean car to start with, so no "befores" but we did get rid of some fallout and overspray that it had picked up in it's former life and then proceeded to add some depth & wetness.



Process:

QD (it was washed yesterday but had been driven once)

Clay with Clay Magic claybar & lube

1st Pass-HD Products Crystal Polish (local supplier, this is a mild cleaner/polish) on Sonus DAS green pad, remove w/ 100% cotton terry cloth

2nd Pass-NXT on Sonus blue pad, remove w/MF

Eagle One tire dressing (didn't pay close attention--he had it and likes it).



I'll mark this one up as another example of great results with OTC products.



Couldn't get any full sun shots that didn't fake the camera out--and ignore that haze on the right edge of a couple of shots as it was a smudge on the lens. Super-clean car and a dirty camera lens....go figure!



Miller Lite for the afternoon-$15.00

Tank full of premium gas-$45.00

Converting a car enthusiast into an Autopian-PRICELESS



















 
Hey guys--yeah, at first I thought he was nuts wanting to go in there for photos, but it did make for some good shots. Then of course, there was the ride back to his house--trust me, the laws of physics say that no dust could still have been attached ANYWHERE on that car! All stock, but that thing is like a rocket on rails!



Seriously though, we had very minimal dusting on the car from there and lost a lot going home. His wife took off in it right away (her daily driver) to run errands when we got back but it will get a bath tomorrow night to ditch some minor residual oily streaks from the NXT as well as any remaining dust.
