My 330i ZHP

DETAILKING

New member
I washed the car on Saturday, normal routine, Z7 wash, Z6 wipedown, trim shine in the wells, and Mothers FX tire dressing on the tires. I have not done anything more than washing in about a month. Today I went golfing at a sweet course about 50 miles away. The scenery was so nice I decided to snap a few pics. The car got a little dusty and buggy on the trek, but here are the pics.........

Thanks man! Searched long and hard for this car. Color is Silver-Gray. The Titanium Silver ones perfectly match the color of the wheels....you can see mine is a bit darker.
 
Definately the better colour.



Only thing I never liked about the e46 3 series is the plastic side moldings. So awkward to polish around, apply wax and dress. It would look soo much better if it was a body colour painted molding. I'm sure you can paint them, I know its a mod on my X5.
 
Only '99 and '00 E46's had the rubber moldings. Love the darker gray. Would look sweet with clear corners and side marker lights. I am assuming you used Z2 originally?
 
Yeah, the E46 coupes had body colored painted moldings and a lot of guys have had their black moldings painted to match the car on the sedans. I have to admit it is a PIA waxing, but I do like the contrast.



I plan to do clear corners and side markers in the near future, as well as 35-50% metallic tint.



THe last product I used on the car was Z5 pro.
 
I actually have gray leather interior and not the alcantera seats. I do have an alcantera shifter boot, parking brake boot, and steering wheel (which I love) that all zhp's have. It also has an Anthricite headliner.



I will try and take some interior shots.
 
I am not impressed DK.

Your BMW's always look great and you had the Zaino advantage also. ;)

When was your last Z2/Z5 or Z8 application? Paint looks like you just applied a layer.



Beautiful car!!!! :woot:
 
Last layer was about a month ago with Z5 pro. I think I had one application of Z8 since then ( I do that every 3 washes), and other than that, just Z7 wash and a Z6 wipedown. I didn't even plan on a photoshoot but the course scenery was sooo nice.



I also usually use Z16 on the tires, but I am trying to use up some products I have where there is only a little left. I do like the Mothers FX tire shine.
 
Hahaha....I really miss Turtle wax tire gel!



I been using Z16 (one or two coats) most of the time since it's reformulation and I like that it's not messy.



I also like Mothers FX tire shine (good durability and nice shine).



I've been using both.
