Detail - BMW E39 - Jet Black

[maxxsp]

Finally found the time to detail the E39. Been really busy lately so the car was in bad shape. It hadn't been washed in months and repeated rain + cement dust from renovations wasn't helping.It needed a 3 stage polish and a thorough decontamination.Claymagic Blue used for decontamination, Menzerna & Edge Combo for PolishingBefore Washing

During WashingTyres soaked in FI GPC, Wheels sprayed with FI PWC. Best wheel cleaner. Ever. Took off nearly all the brake dust including the bits that had already started to cake on.

Fuel Filler area being washed with a detail brush and FI GPC

Paint BeforeAs expected, horrible watermarking & a few swirls from a wash at the service centre.The Bonnet

Festool make very high quality machines, can't go wrong investing in one.
Hoping to get the Shinex soon, if I'm not mistaken its cheaper than the Rotex by quite abit so I might sell off one of my Rotexs to buy it.
