Got a new to me e93.
So I'm looking to detail it a little deeper than the PO. It's in great shape and white, so it shouldn't be too much work.
Looking for advice on a few things though. 1: rubber seals. The vert has lots. I know zymol has nice waxes, but anyone used their rubber conditioner? Then there's the good old gummiphledge. Anything else out there that's better? 2: leather conditioner. I use the Smart brand conditioner on my 7. Mostly because it smells like an old leather sofa. Sooooo nice. But with the special leather in the m and being black and exposed to the elements more, is there a better product? Thanks in advance. I use p21 carnauba wax on my other cars so I'll likely just use that on the m too. White is a pretty easy color to take care of so I'm not too worried about brand of waxes. The p21 looks great on my other cars. The 7 is Royal red (deep maroon) and can be a pita to take care of. |

As far as leather conditioners go you don't actually need a conditioner for the leather in the M3. Many cars with leather actually don't need conditioners as they are already coated from the factory. Same idea as how the paint has a clear coat applies here. A proper leather cleaner is more important. |
