I've owned my M3 since July and felt it was time to do a full exterior detail. I remember with my Jet Black e46 M3 this needed to be done on a regular basis, but with white the paint is more forgiving.

I first washed using Protectal's QEW. After rinsing thoroughly I clayed with Meguiar's Professional Mild clay using a concentrated QEW as a lubricant. Then I washed the car again and followed polishing with Poorboy's SSR2. Then I did a pass with Klasse AIO as a paint cleaner, and finally sealed with Duragloss 105. I usually use the Duragloss bonding agent prio to 105 but felt with the AIO this was probably not necessary.

Anyway, it is hard to get a lot of pop with white but I was happy with the results.
