2000 BMW 323 Makeover

[Jonesey]

Just bought this car off of my mother, who washed it maybe five times a year. I think my brother waxed it once, as did I. I put it on a train and now it gets to live in Vancouver,

Step one, get it clean!! my process was

-soak with body solvent and power wash.
-soak wheel wells with super degreaser at 4:1 and power wash.
-spray engine bay with super degreaser at 10:1 and rinse.
-spray engine bay with hyper dressing at 2:1.
-wash car with NXT wash.
-clay bar entire car using last touch as lube.
-polish with DACP on polishing pad with rotary.
-polish with 205 on polishing pad on G-110, speed 3.
-polish with #7 on finishing pad on G-110, speed 2.
-two coats of #21 applied with G-110, speed 1.
-vacuum interior, blow out vents and cracks with compressed air.
-clean all surfaces with APC, 10:1.
-treat leather with Lexol, plastic with Hyper dressing, 4:1.
-clean glass with Window cleaner concentrate.

Now the over the top part.

-remove wheels and clean front and back with wheel brightener and brush.
-wax front of wheels with paint reconditioning cream.
-paint rear wheel wells with black rubberized rockerguard.
-treat wheel well liners and tires with hyper dressing 2:1.
