Winter Wheels + Lime Prime Detail

[krog]

Busy day today.
Removed 19" Hamann's cleaned with bilberry, sealed then waxed then stored away until springtime.
Fitted winter wheels 18" AC Schnitzers.
Rinsed car, cleaned wheels with bilberry.
Cleaned car with mild solution of fairy liquid.
Out with the DA.
Read a lot about lime prime set about bodywork after taping up.
Despite using 2BM all the time, a lot of holograms & marring, very happy with the lime prime results, got about 90% correction.
Sealed full car with carlack 68 then applied a layer of Megs deep crystal carunba wax, best wax I've used yet to a deep red lustre, having previously been a zaino enthusiast.
Here's some pics.......including my wee helper, guarding the DA.

Looks well pal. Nice work. Nice colour to keep clean. What model is it? Can't tell - you have changed the grills and taken no pics of rear...

ETA: Rear discs look quite small though. Could be wrong.

Its actually good for stripping off the old wax before polishing and applying a new coat. Just don't use it everytime you clean the car.

By my powers of deduction i'm going to say you took the top pictures with a Sony Ericsson Camera phone

Looks good though.

330? Lhasa apso?

The car's a 320ci sport.
I honestly use a mild solution of fairy, to strip off previous layers of sealant & wax, perfect for the job.
My wee dog is a Llahso Apso called Zebo, he's got his own seat in the garage, when I'm detailing.
This is my 8th Beemer.
Previous 318i,325i convertible,318is,325ci sport,325i motorsport convertible,Z3M Roadster.
I'll post some pics of some of them.
Started taking the detailing more serious around 2 years ago, finished 2nd at the annual show & shine 2009 BMWOC Scotland, with my M Roadster, then sold it for £1000 profit, which provided the funds for my current car.
I've been taking on some paying work lately.
I find it theraputic.
