My old BMW needed a good scrub so during the week I gave it a clean and used some wonder wheels stuff too as the wheels were horrid. This morning I had a free day before I leave this evening to head up to CSS so wanted to give it a polish etc. Make sure it looks ok for CSS.
I gave it a quick snow foam and spray off with my new Karcher. Really makes it enjoyable using the karcher.
Used SRP and then some meguiars nxt wax. Just some stuff I have had for a number of years in my shed. Overall my BMW is quite old and the paintwork is shocking but from a distance scrubs up ok. Even gave the interior a good vacuum out and wipe down along with blackening the plastics on the outside and a bit of tyre gel too. Only iPhone pictures so quality will probably be pretty crap
Pics:
A bit more of a close up... some really bad paintwork with the lacquer coming away...
roof worst, been quoted to sort the wings and roof at approx £300 as the roof is a bit tricky with it being right in the middle:
front wing:
A nasty scratch from the previous owner... Not sure how I can sort this one out?
What would people recommend to shine up the chrome again? Had some metal cleaner but it did nothing. Consider the chrome has not been treated for 3 years.
Sorry pics really are crapy quality but you get the idea. Just need to get one new number plates as mine are pretty shagged. Not too bad for an 11 year old BMW with 125k
