    88' BMW 635CSi

    New member here. I've been into detailing for about 4 years now. I have always worked on modern cars. My usual treatment is wash, claybar, cleaner wax, NXT wax. I recently purchased an 88' BMW 635CSi and it is in amazing condition. With an older car, should I use a different technique than previously mentioned?

        Great. Thanks for the response. I should have the car in my driveway on Monday. I can't wait! It was too good of a deal to pass.

            Ok, so my usual routine needs something added to it. There are some scratches and dings that Scratch X will not remove. The paint on this old bimmer is hard. So, should I use Ultimate Compound followed by wax? I've also read that you can use cleaner wax, then polish, and top with NXT - does this work well?

                Try Ultimate Compound followed by wax.

                If ScratchX is not cutting it, I doubt cleaner wax, then polish, then wax will do anything to remove the scratches.

                Nice car!

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

                  If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
