Here's the before pictures. the car wasn't too dirty since it had been recently washed.



















So i decided to wash with Citrus Wash N Gloss to remove any previous wax the car may have had. And i sprayed on P21s Gel and let it dwell for about 30 minutes. unfortunately the car had some kind of factory-installed sealant (teph-seal) that i was going to have to remove. and after the wash i went with my special yellow clay and CG Synthetic QD for lube to remove all the contaminants. for the car being so new, i was surprised that it was pretty contaminated!

Before/after of the exhaust. I decided to use #0000 steel wool and 1Z chrome Polish for this







Before/after shots of each wheel. for this i used the Mother's Powerball and Mother's Billet polish, and followed that up with 1Z chrome Polish. then topped that all off with 2 layers of Swissvax Autobahn.

 

Finished!!!

yea, it was in pretty bad shape. not too many swirls, but FULL of Rids everywhere!

 

Outstanding. Very nice work.

 

Very nice E92. I like both sets of wheels equally. It would be whatever mood I'm in deciding between them.

 

thats amazing... quick questions... what do you mena when you say "3 Passes"? also whats is LSP?

 

by 3 passes i mean that i had to go over it 3 times. and LSP stands for Last Step Protection

 

so you mean you apply product, buff, remove and re-apply, buff, remove and once more?
