Detailed - BMW 525i (2001)

2001 BMW 525i, 80k Miles

Well, i'm pretty happy with this, and really took my time with it.... I started at 10am Saturday, finished at 7pm with a break for lunch but then it rained so i had to wait until this morning to wipe down, wax it, dress tyres, clean glass etc.

I didn't get any before pics as i didn't really have time, but the car was not in great nic and had a lot of tar / bug abuse.

I'll try and speed things up, here's a list of what i used, followed by the pics - All comments welcome but my best mate was very happy when he came to collect it tonight.

Daisy APC
AS G101
AG Clean Wheels
Zymol Autowash (2 x Autobrite Buckets & Grit guards)
Tardis
CYC Blue Ultra Fine Clay with Zip wax shampoo diluted in water as lube.
Machined with CYC Das6 Pro, Menz Power Gloss S100 and Sonus SFX-2 Pad.
Meg's Last Touch
Dodo Juice Rainforest Rub
Meg's Trim Detailer
Autosol Metal Polish
Meg's Hot Rims Tyre Spray

Thanks

Looks good to me, nice work!

Love that particular generation of 5. Newer ones look frumpy by comparison IMO.

Looks great.

Interesting pad/polish selection. What made you chose the Power Gloss? Its one of the strongest cuts on the market.

Hi mate, i tried the PO85RD 3.02 but it just wasn't cutting it, honestly the paint seems to be sooo hard on the BMW - Only the S100 seemed to make any difference, and it still wasn't perfect either - Maybe on a rotary it would make more difference....
