I've never been to the Dream Cruise but what I've seen about it from the local news is it's mostly American muscle cars and doesn't appear to be particularly foreign car friendly (typical buy 'MURICAN' crowd).

well i used Dr Beasley's Matte Wheel Sealant to protect the paint from the harsh environment, brake pad dust and everything else thrown at it. but i use CG's Meticulous Matte Wheel Sealant/Detailer after every wash. like i mentioned before i used Meguiar's detailer after each wash but it would make the wheel look glossy. now it looks really good with the matte detailer.

Unfortunately in good ol Big 3 country here, there is certainly a lack of BMW get togethers like I read about in other areas of the country.

Just an update I got around to washing the car the first time since the paint correction. Using CG's Waterless Car Wash was so easy to use and the fact that it had Carnuba blended in left the finish shiney. Nothing spectacular but for just a wash it left the paint pretty clean. What I also liked about the Waterless wash is that it saved time when cleaning the inside door jambs from having to go back and detail it after the wash. It literally saved me a step! And one thing I notice because of maybe the Black light sealed in with the JetSeal on top it just looks different from what the paint looks like from previous car washes. Hard to explain. The car looked great as is but I wanted to finally use CG's V07 Detailed Spray/Sealant and wow it left the paint looking wet! Very easy to use wipe on wipe off.
When it came to washing the wheels the Waterless Wash again very easy to use. Because of Dr Beasley's Matte Wheel Sealant washing the wheels just felt different. I mean it cleaned so easy that I did not even have to use my wheel brush to clean in between the cracks and crevices literally all the dirt, grime and brake dust just wiped off easily with the micro fiber towel. The wheel looked clean but I wanted to try CG's Matte Wheel Sealant/Deatailer afterwards. Love it! Like mentioned from earlier post my wheels don't look shiney anymore but what it should be...Matte! And to top if off spraying CG's Stripper Scent to make the car smell like Hawt Hoes and Strippers!

Chemical Guy's is having a Labor day sale going on so yesterday and today you can get 30% off, Sat is 25%, Sun 20%, Mon 15% and Tue is 10%. I ordered the 1 gallon V7 Hybrid Detailer/Sealant and the 1 gal Meticulous Matte Detailer/Sealant.
The V7 is on sale for $48.99 but with 30% off that's $14.70 so it comes to $34.29! Meticulous Matte Deatailer is on sale for $38.99 with the 30% off -$12 off comes to $27.99! So I only paid $62 bucks for both which to me is AWESOME! LOVE this stuff you guys! I'm not sure I'll ever switch to something else?! Just washed the car again and the V7 is no joke! With the Meguair's Detailer Spray which I've been using for 20+ years doesn't even compare! The V7 just wipes on and off with very little effort. The Meguair's just never gave it that deep gloss wet look

LMAO, another thing I love about Chemical Guys - buying by the gallon!!!!! I have their anti-static/aquaphobic instant detailer, and a bunch of other goodies in gallon jugs. I love it, I just stocked up on spray bottles

so i've been working on correcting the paint for the last few days. god i hate polishing but luckily, its been great weather so i'm not sweating all over the place.
my question...where you able to get all of the swirls out? i had sooooo many swirls that i actually hated to wash the car because that made em more noticeable. however....using Meg's M105 and then the M205, there are STILL some swirls left. i'd say i've gotten rid of about 75% or so. the paint looks great, but i can still see the swirls in direct sunlight. i want to go ahead and seal it with the CQuartz but i know i'll hate myself if i do it before getting the remaining swirls out of it. but im not even sure its possible... |
