Good weekend for a detail

Spent most of Sunday polishing and waxing my Carbon Black 550. Thought I'd share some photos.

Your car looks great!

I detailed my Jet black 535. Used Adams products for the first time and they are really very nice products to work with. Clay and detail spray, sealer, and a coat of Patriot wax brazilian carnauba. Immaculate shine and a pleasure to work with.

Beautiful and great job!

Can I ask what percent tints you have? I also have Carbon Black and plan to tint the windows soon. I'm torn between Madicos "Charcool" or "Wincos."

TourStageFan, its 3M Color Stable 35%. To be honest, I like it, but should have gone with 20%. I have the Oyster and Black interior and they appear lighter than my wife's E92 with 35% and black interior.

Thanks for the info., I would love to go with 20%, but since I live in NJ, I think I'll play it safe and go with 35% Madicos Charcool. I'm hoping that since I have an all-black interior (incl. Anthracite headliner), that it will be dark enough even on the sunniest of days...
