My Ride: 2006 525i Jet Black, keep my passenger seat extra clean after I(married/3kids) drop off my new mistress(half black/half indian gives great head even though I have Jock itch/yeast infection), don't want anything leaking from her crotch after I have my way with her

My Recomendation is ZAINO. (www.zainobros.com). I have been using these products for about 5 years. It provides an outstnading shine and durability. It is a process when first applied but worth it. (no pain - no gain)

I have a Jet black and there are no swirls anywhere. Easy to wash and keep clean.

What's great about Zymol is that you can get it at Target, at the corresponding reasonable prices.

That being said, my Rejex is on order. My dealer tells me his detail shop can do my whole car and finish up with Rejex for about $100-$120. Sounded reasonable to me.

even the price is right but i wouldn't let the dealer detail my car since they are not pro detail shop. they machine wash your car instead of hand wash :'(.

Actually, a machine wash might be better than what some dealer "detail" departments do. Many hand wash with a bucket of dirty water that's changed who knows how often, and with ditry rags that haven't seen a washing machine in who knows how long. Oh, and they'll think nothing of washing the wheels first, then the body...with the same rag.

I refuse to allow any dealer to get near my car for washing, let alone detailing. I have a big sign I put on the dash that says DO NOT WASH for when I bring in the car for service. But that's just me...
