So this Sunday i tackled this e90 323i, car is fairly new but does lots of mileage. Paint wasnt in too bad a state, i Initially tested with Menz SIP on the white hexlogic pad, then got a nicer finish with the orange pad so i did the entire car with that
I started very late with this car due to rain which saw me slogging away into the night unfortunately, hence the lack of much pics
This is how i started

Rims needed a good clean up, this had me going for quite a long time

Sorry for no after pic but they were shiny silver once done
Then onto the wash, CG cwg was used via 2 bucket method

Car was then clayed and rinsed again

Most contaminants were on the rear panels and lower half of the doors
Polishing stage, i managed to squeeze in some 50/50s and before/afters

This was after polishing was done, i gave the car a good rinse to remove all the dust and some beading and sheeting was noted

Car was then glazed with EZ Creme glaze and finally coated with M Seal
These were the finals i managed to take but were taken indoors as it was pouring rain outside
