My Ride: (E60) 535D M-Sport (DMS)
As mentioned in another thread, i had my Emmy detailed on Saturday which included the entire leather interior being shampoo'd & conditioned with Liquid Leather, the bodywork washed, dried, claybared, polished (3times) & waxed (4 times). The whole process including glasswork, interior dressing & wheel dressing along with the above took 9 hours & i'm so pleased with the results. I can't say i've ever seen a more shiny car.

For some reason the black shines better when treated like this...in fact it shines better than any colour....but who cares when the other car is an M5?!

It's always dark coloured cars that get the best from a polish & wax. The darker the colour, the bigger the impact. Had my black RS6 receive the exact same treatment from the same guy last year & she looked awesome.
Just so hard to keep darker coloured cars looking good. I'm not brave enough to have another black car as the maintenance is too much for me. IB was a decent enough compromise.
