Turtle Wax Black Detailer
Gotta give a little shout out for this stuff. Works very well. Just thought I would share.
If you drive a jet black like me (or even the jerez) then you know all too well the rigors of keeping this thing clean. I found the product to work really well at making swirls and fine scratches go away. Whoever owned my car previous to me obviously took good care of the paint as I do and I get comments on it all the time. For an '08 I have to say, it looks as if it just rolled off the showroom floor. [IMG]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7213/7354903318_5340****7e_b.jpg[/IMG] |

Anyway, I simply started spraying and wiping. Product requires a fair amount of buffing with CLEAN microfibers just the same as any spray detailer/waxer. About 10 min later... there's the pics. ^^ |

That Mequiars IMO is still the best quick detailer on the market for it's ease of use even in full sunlight. The Ultimate Quick Wax is also a stunning product. When it comes to quick detailers, in my experience: Meguiars > Mothers |

I'm very surprised to see so many M3 owners using such low quality products.
My father once said, 90% of the time in life you get what you pay for. What do you think you're getting when you buy turtle wax? These are M3s we're driving, not Civics! |

Alienware computers, for example. They can be pretty crappy compared to a properly built custom PC, yet somehow they cost thousands more. All because it's got an Alien on it. If you happen to find a cheaper product that does what appears to be a good job and doesn't cause any damage, what is the harm in that? Not everything that touches the M3 has to be Swissvax...

I actually think that Mother's detailer works a lot better than Megs and Turtle, but I really like Auto Finesse's Finale, it adds a nice touch.
I've been let down many times by Turtle Wax products, but as always, YMMV. |

Guy's a snob. I was just trying to make a point.
There is zero damage with the Turtle Wax AND the result is awesome IMO. That's why I was giving it a quick shout out. I'm not saying it's a replacement for other detailing products. Just a great quick detailer. I just went out and took this shot this morning after another quick wipe down with that oh so evil Turtle Wax product... Stick that in your Swissvax. FYI: beads water relentlessly! |
