My Ride: 06 530i Premium and Cold Weather Package
Orient Blue, Tan Interior
I have used this stuff over owning 4 different cars. It is awesome for dark paint and provides a great gloss finish. Only catch is it does not last as long as others. I use MG TechWax as a first coat sometimes and follow up with this.
I have not seen any mention of this and I know around Ohio it is rare to find the actual paste wax. If you have not tried it, give it a try. If you have, what do you think?

I am actually dreading my fall. I have a case that we are trying to settle and that should be settled but if it doesn't, it will be non-stop depositions and 24/7 hours for months. Having done a pyscho schedule like that in all of 2007and 2008 and Jan-Feb 2009 (the case I tried in LA in Jan and Feb), I've been taking it a little easier at work to get back some of my sanity and personal life.

Have a Silver Gray Metallic 530. Any opinions on how to maximize the gloss and depth of color?
I have clayed, polished and waxed using Mequiar's and have been happy with the results but just wondering what others do and if there is something that can pump it up a bit. Looks great though in any case.
Thanks.
