I washed, clayed, slightly polished and protected the paint of my E60 for the oncoming winter today .
I also wiped up the interior and tried the magic eraser on the steering wheel --> Wow! Works great!

Didn't take any during pics, so I thought this could be posted on the Discussion section as small photoshoot.

These daytime pics I took after the wash before the polish + sealant:







It was dark already when I got all done:

Awesome car and beautiful scenery!

I've clayed and waxed my car before but never tried a sealant. Does the sealant hold the wax much longer?

Would you recommed this order?

1. wash
2. clay wax
3. liquid wax
4. sealant

Thanks boss
