Gave my z4m a good clean and wax

Post by Muckinonthesofa » Sun May 26, 2019 10:20 am

Had a few hours spare yesterday so gave my z4mc a good clean. I'm not a expert detailer but I'm pleased with the result.
I started by restoring the headlights with Meguiars headlight kit. After washing and drying it I polished it with Autoglym super resin polish, then used liquid Angelwax. Finally I dressed the tyres and plastics.

That looks beautiful 8)

I really love the first photo. You've managed to capture just how long the front end really is. Some photos make it seem shorter than they really are. Love it 8)

As well as not being an expert detailer, I'm not great at taking photos so I'm glad one of them is okay! :D
