Swissvax'ed My own E90M3 :) and photoshoot at Homestead Speedway!

So it's that time of the year again where i get to spend 4 days detailing my car

It had been more than 6 months since the last time i polished the car and it was finally starting to look less than perfect. I decided that i was going to do M105 on a Yellow Uber Pad followed by Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Professional on a black Swissvax pad. Then i followed that up with Swissvax Shield.

Products used:

-Swissvax Car bath
-Swissvax Paint Rubber
-Swissvax Protection
-M105
-Swissvax Cleaner Fluid Pro
-Swissvax Shield
-Aquapel

Wheels
-Swissvax cleaner fluid medium
-Swissvax Autobahn
-Adams VRT 2.0 (tires)
-Aerospace 303 (wheel wells)

and a whole bunch more...

sorry guys, i didnt take any before pictures, but here's the afters!























Thanks for looking!

ScheerSpeed,

All that hard work definitely paid off. Car looks great!

Have you ever used Zaino products? I've used them for about 5 years and been very happy with the results and longevity, but having never used Swissvax would be curious as to how they compare.

Last time I used zaino was about 2 years ago... It's great stuff, I just hate the application process.

And sorry guys but ISS wont tell me the wheel specs... There is a 15mm macht schnell spacer all around

Looks nice! Your car (not so much now, but back when it was near stock and you did a detail thread on it) is what made me expand my color search to Jerez.

Sounds like they're 15mm off, whatever they are. As if offsets and widths are some kind of big freakin secret that can't be measured with a straightedge and a t-square. Some of these wheel vendors are good for a laugh.
