Another Winter Clean + PIC MASSIVE!

Nova2k7 · Post by **Nova2k7** » Mon Feb 20, 2012 12:41 am

Ok so today saw me give the Z a quick clean, luckily today i got the use of my brother’s garage at his new house! It even has a heater down there and a sinck with hot and cold running water! Was a god send and made everything so much quicker!

Normal method was used, rinsed down with a hose to remove any loose dirt, and then using a wool wash mitt, each panel was washed and the whole car was rinsed down with the hose ready for the drying.

Once dried the car was given 2 coats of AG HD Wax.

This wash also saw me clean the inside as well, as I’ve not had the opportunity to do it since i got the car in December. Tried my best to get the mats looking reasonable but might have to bight the bullet and get some more. Anyway i let some of the pictures do the talking.

Second coat of wax

Finished!

also does anyone know where i can get one of these??

Very nice

That cream interior is a bugger to clean, but all worth it with the light and dark contrast

very nice... well worth the effort.

I take it the pics are out of sequence though... unless you keep taking it in and out of the garage for pics

It is the plastic surround for the door locking pin - cracked. No idea where you'd get a new on in black, stealers ? Can't cost much. Only other thing to do would be o get shiny chrome ones from eBay if there are no plastic ones on there. For example : http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=b ... n+surround

just realised I started that with the statement 'no idea'

Have you tried though the dealers rather than fleabay? The covers are only a couple of quid http://realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mod ... g=51&fg=50
