My Ride: April 2007 520D M Sport LCI. Automatic. Sunroof. BMW Bluetooth. Deep Sea Blue Metallic, Natural Brown Leather.
After spending most of a weekend with the Megs DA Polisher some months back, I was deeply dissapointed with the appearance after 2 coats of CG Jetseal followed by Collinite Paste Wax.
So I did some more reading and seem to have come to the same conclusion as FMinus & Pyiu
- Swizzvax is the way to go.
I ordered it up along with Swizzvax paint cleaner, and last weekend (between the showers) I washed, prepped and waxed my E60....
It wasn't a very sunny day so the photos don't do the finish any justice. It is by far the best wax I have used to date.
Aside from the Sissvax Best of how & Swizzvax Paint Cleaner I used Megs APC to remove old wax, Megs Tyre Dressing & Megs Glass Cleaner.
Paint correction & Claying was taken care of a few weeks back.
I hope you enjoy my colour combo of Deep Sea Blue withy Natural Brown Leather...
