i like the blackfire midnight sun,it has a very deep shine-

the collinite 845 is fine stuff for a great price,they don't advertise much,and it's been an under the radar product that many detailers swear by-not quite as deep a shine but very easy to use and very durable-

Well I don't mind waxing my car once a month. Ive never used a sealant before but want to. Ive been using some Meguiars Gold Ive had some in my garage for ages(just clayed and waxed it last week). Just recently started waxing and detailing my own cars. I will have my e90 for another month or two. I have a F80 coming in June and I want some good sealant and wax for when I get it so its protected from the start. My e90 is Silverstone and my f80 will be Yas Marina Blue.

I would go with any collinite member. 845 is the easiest, cheapest, and has great durability and looks. 915 comes next and is better in the looks department and is almost as easy to apply with same durability maybe slightly better. 476 is the king which has the best durability but some have reported difficult application, but the key is always apply thin. Google this to be 100% because I'm just going off the top of my head

Way better. If you ask any real detailer they will never have anything bad to say about any of the collinite waxes. They are extremely underrated, but regardless of your budget they are top dogs when it comes to waxes. If you want you could go pick up meguiars ultimate quick wax and add that on top for extra depth and protection

Step-1
Hand wash the car with Wolgang Autobathe i use this champoo now for more than a year it's very soft,downside is it's diffucult to dry because it contains oils to nourish the paint , but when dry paint shines just perfect .
Step-2
The Meguiar's Ultimate Quick Detailer, so easy to use it's liquid and the shine is realy incredible, in person it shine's even more ,the Hydrophobic water beading formula is 100% active after 12 hours and even when the paint is dirty it continues to shine ,realy unbelievable ! People saying do you have washed your car again ...well no !
So i'm 100% satisfied with step 1 + 2 !
Here it is...
