Was having serious thoughts about moving her on this week. Run out of things that I can afford to with her and just really liked the idea of something new. Went for a spin on Thursday morning to clear the head and was reminded of why I love the car so much. Sure, it's not the fastest thing in the world but by Christ can it carry speed and stop. Brought it to CleanCar afterwards for a wash and dry, and then gave it a coat of Kleers Finishing Wax.
Photos are a bit noisy as they were taken on the phone when it was getting dark, but yeah, I'm smitten again. Just waiting for some rain to see the beading

So I was in a similar situation as CM, 166man offered to clean my car so I made sure he had his work cut out for him :P
So I took it to 166mans and by the time we were done it was dark so there was no time for pics so, the day after I took a few
And the result
Please note the reflection of the trailer :pac:
The exhaust was black so with a bit of effort and a wire brush
Good as new
I'll let him fill in what he used so on and so forth0 -

Just make sure you prep the surface properly first. Use alcohol wipes to remove all silicone traces from that back to black stuff. This is very important so give the surface a few goes of this and don't be gentle.
If there's any silicone, the C4 won't adhere or work properly.
I promise you, you'll be praising me and Gtechniq 0 -

Today I finally got to use the DA that I got from detailingshed with the group buy on the bmw-driver site.
I only did the boot, really happy with the results, by no means a full correction, no more swirl marks but some RDS's still visible.
Here are some phone camera pics, need to invest in a proper cam, these don't do it justice
DA'd on the left, what it was like on the right:
Nasty scratch that was on the boot, now much less visible.
Before:
After:
After pic, also just fitted the lip spoiler after the polishing:
Now just to do the rest of the car
