This wax works great, just wash the car and it keeps shining like the first day you waxed it

I spent more time getting the cleaner fluid out than getting the wax out, it felt to me like the cleaner fluid kind of sealed the paint for the wax to be applied but it got out and left the surface very smooth
I only used microfiber towels for the whole process I saw the pictures you posted and your car looks fine to me You will notice the difference the next time you wash your car, it will shine like if you have just waxed it

It went fantastic! washed and clayed the car the night before.. used the reg sv cleaner fluid in the morning and applied the bw wax in the afternoon! let my M sit for 24 hrs and now i am really satisfied w the result!! I even applied the wax by hand, it was kinda weird at first but got used to it quick! i took some pics but havent had time to upload them yet!

okay, the wax is on my car for almost 2 weeks now and to be honest, I love it!
hand-washing and rinsing it off is so easy! it makes a huge difference, its really a pleasure to see how shiny and clean the car looks after a wash! |

My E93 is a US-Specs as well.. I ordered it march 08 over military sales here in Germany! There was no option for me eighter, only chrome trim for the US-Specs! When my salesman gave me my vehicle comfirmation order, it showed shadowline trim I knew from all the forums that shadowline trim was not an option, so I waited until they started my production. My Salesman told me that I wld be actually one of the first customer that will recieve their E93 M3 US-Specs.. So my car arrived May 30th 08 with chrome trim! But i already brought my order with me, so they eighter had to keep the car or fix it to shadowline trim! Tooked them 2 days though.. I guess I was just lucky.. figured that wldnt happening again after me! But if I were you, I wld definitly vinyl wrap it, it makes huge difference! ps. use glossy back |

Either way whether matte or glossy, your idea of matching that trim is a good idea.

My side mirror trim is matte, that is why I think it will look better with matte vinyl but I read somewhere that matte vinyl looks kind of cheap

Did all of u guys just use ur hands to apply the wax an wipe it off or did u guys use an orbital?
And the cleaner fluid came off easily with no greasy film? How often are u supposed to clay? How often do u reapply wax? How long does the wax last? How do u know if the wax is still there?

The cleaner fluid didnt come as easy as the wax As per your other questions I am not an expert detailer so lets wait for Scheerspeed to comment on those topics since he is a pro, I think this wax is supposed to last up to 6 months but I am planning to wax it again as soon as the paint surface doesnt feel smooth, I waxed my car 2 months ago and it still feels smooth

But you are right, it wld bother me as well, if my trim was glossy and the mirrors matte! Thats a tough one.. It will be expensive to switch out the whole mirror! I am just used to glossy, but I think matte trim wldnt look bad at all! Kinda ridiculous that shadowline trim is not an option on E93s US-Specs |
