P21S
I have got to do something drastic. My 4 day old 530 D SE got sh*t on by a very big over fed bird that must have been eating stain berries. Sponge or brush would not get the stain out - nightmare

Had to dig out Auto Glym resin polish (then protector) already. Was going to do it after 3 Months

This paint doesnt seem as robust as my previous Audi

My Ride: 2006 530i Sport Silver Gray - Black Leather - Anthracite Maple Manual Transmission Premium Audio Cold Weather Package Rear sunshade Sirius Radio Autobahnd Roadblock (3M) film kit
Default

Gear:

2 plastic buckets (for the two bucket technique)
large curved-edge synthetic sponge (the detailer said to use these - they're very cheap, use a new one every time)
big package of white terrycloth shop rags
pack of microfiber towels for drying


Product:

P21S paintwork shampoo
P21S wheel gel (optional, I've never had to use mine yet)
Meguiar's Quick Detail (good for touching up deposits on the paint)
Whatever polish and waxes you like
Tire dressing (to taste, I like shiny - you might just want matte, but I think profile looks lower when they're shiny)
