Did you do it or went to a professional detailer?
Anyway, do you have any idea what he used for waxing the rims?

Very nice look, and damn those M5 Rims look beautiful.

Looks good! A cheap car wash place just did mine today as well. Spent $100 flat for wash, interior, clay and wax. The paint in some places (nooks and tight areas where its harder to clay) feel rougher than others. But the majority of the car feel nice and soft. Need to get my own clay bar kit...any recommendations?
