The weather was very nice today in Denmark, so I decided to try the new Autoglym products I've bourght this winter.

After a wash, I polished the E60 with Autoglym Super Rensin Polish, 2 coats of that.

Then the final step, which was the Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection, 2 coast of that too

The car looks just as good as new now.. The Autoglym products was easy to work with, and the results was very good too.

Some pictures, just before the sun went down..

Sweden is just on the other side of the water, with car prices half as here :thumbsdown:

Very nice. I really like the third photo -- looks great with the lights on and seeing the chrome shine on the grills.

Thank you guys !

The third photo is the best! With the water in the background and no front license plate!

I've just been out on a short trip to the store, and you have to wear sunglasses so you don't get blinded!

I took a picture from the backseat to, with the car parked the other way around:

I took me almost 5-6 hours (incl lunch), but it was worth it ! I have always hand washed the car, so the paint was fine even before I started, it just needed some coats of protection before the "bug-season"

I washed it first, then after the first wash, I washed several parts of the car with "tar removal" to get rid of the "fine dirt".. Then I polished the car with 2 coats of Super Rensin Polish, and after that I waxed it with 2 coats of Extra Gloss protection
