Although I despise Turtle Wax products, it turned out really nice

Great write up...or "vid up"

Hope it lasts long!
Jet black is a HORRID color to keep looking good, I had a Jet Black E60 aswell... it almost looked greyish...when I see new Jet Black E60's on the road today, they look so much richer than mine did, looks like you've achieved that look again

YO did they pay you to make that???You should be their spokesman. Hahaha Next video can you turn up the tunes in the background i was trying to jam out! Seriously it looks good though for 20 bucks and a little elbow grease it really makes a difference. Interested to know how long that shine is going to last under regular weather conditions.

That is what prompted me to take action. I saw my car during the day and it looked like it went through volcanic ash. It wasn't even pure black it was like a ..... greyish black. Then I'd see new, black E60's and say "wtf?" to myself.

OMG! what a pain in the ass this shit is. idk if i put too much on or something but howitzer made it look ez. took me forever to get this off! then i had to do it again for the second step! after like 20 microfiber towels and 10 brand new pads and a few shirts an pants im impressed witht he results. didnt do much for the larger rock chips but completely eliminated the swirls and scratches and made the surface like glass. overall im happy i did this, that being said i wouldnt do this again myself unless i had some help. took about 7 hours. it came off best when using a new microfiber towel for each panel. if u try to use a semi used rag it gets smudgie. then when all the wax is off go over it with a larger microfiber towel to make sure u get all the haze off. watch out for splashes on ur interior too that would suck big time.

great product, not so great application. this is the first turtle wax product id recomend. take a look
