Figured I'd start off spring break on the right foot and cleaned up the 528.


Wash: DP and ONR
Clay: DP
Polish/Seal: XMT 360
Interior: DP

Then I was doing a rolling shot with a friend, and the camera fell off the tripod (no idea how), 6ft down onto concrete... Camera is fine, but the lens is gone and I'm out $700 :(


I got the shot though! :thumbup:

Car looks cleannnnnnn. Too bad about the camera though! Hope you figure something out.

Too bad about the camera, good pic's though :D

okay... so for those of us who don't snort chemicals and car wash solvents daily

wtf is DP, ONR, and XMT?

JBs,
Spectacular job with the 528. White is so forgiving it's hard to make it look great. You did it!

Fragzem,
DP is a company called Detailer's Pride - they make a wide range of detailing products with a good reputation.
ONR is Optimum No Rinse, a waterless washing liquid that works surprisingly well.
XMT is an all in one product from Pinnacle, another highly respected company. XMT does minor corrections, cleans/shines, and seals with a sealant. 3 steps with 1 product.
Detail nuts use a lot of acronyms to save time, like every profession having it's own language variant.

Thanks for the compliments guys.


Yea, DP has a bunch of products that I use, love all of them haha. Also, in case anyones wondering, I used the DP shampoo and the ONR together because ONR is VERY slick (therefore reducing the chance of hurting the paint during washing because it was VERY dirty :embarrasm).

XMT360 doesn't do much for BMW paint (it has a very light cut, even when used with an orange pad like i did here), I used to basically because it is also a sealant, and my car doesn't get as much attn as it should haha.
