Took some impromptu shots on New Year's day after an early morning breakfast and thought I'd share

Thanks!

pure!

It's killer, just fantastic! What is your routine/products when you detail it?

It looks every bit as good as the results that high-end detailers get.

Thanks very much HeyMoe53

I use the following process/products for washing once a week and a detail every 4-5 months.

Washing:
Just a normal garden hose, two bucket method with Mint Microfibre Wash Mitt
and Duragloss Wash Concentrate.
Dry using Mint Microfibre Waffle Weave XL Drying Towel and protect with a quick spray and wipe with Duragloss Aquawax
Wheels - Autobrite Wheel Brite Gel. This shit rocks - dilute and 5 to 1 with water, super quick, economical and works like a charm. Brush with Speciality Brands Daytona Wheel Brush - easily the best wheel brush I've used.
Tyres - Duragloss Tyre Dressing.

Detail:
Mint Grey Clay bar and Magic Lube
Duragloss Polish Bonding Agent
Duragloss Total Performance Polish
Mint Foam Applicator Pads
Lots of microfibre cloths.

All my detailing stuff I got from www.carcareproducts.com.au. They have a great "how to" section - http://howto.carcareproducts.com.au/ - this is the first car I've seriously detailed - thanks again for the kind words

Very pure style ! I love it

!

A full black car is for me pure sex

! But isn't it a bit hard to be cleaned everytime

?

You're on stock suspension isn't it ? And don't you have any rubbing issue with a mount of 225/40 and 255/35

?

Thanks in advance for the reply mate

!

On stock suspension - driveway doesn't allow for anything lower

Had one instance of rubbing in the rear but only with 4 people + 2 big suitcases in the boot going over a nasty speed bump - zero issues apart from that . . .

Ummm - headlights are standard. Haven't changed a thing - 2008 N54 - maybe slightly different to the later models?
