Annual Pre-Bimmerfest Detail is Done

Long overdue...

Anyone else detail their car today?






.

lol nice!

I was able wash, clay and 2 step polish the front of my car today. It's under a car cover now waiting till Wed when I get a chance again Bimmerfest or Mfest is the only time I detail mine, but then again it sits in the garage most of the time anyways

Clay bar, P21 paint prep and P21S, interior was done last week. Damn it, I have to drive the 87 Toyota PU all week

My cars all washed and packed up for the long journey she has ahead of her.

That's exactly what I did. Three hour nonstop marathon. Wash, clay, Porter Cable Meguiar's Tech Wax, finish with hand buff Carnuba...

I usually do it a month or so before the event. The last couple of years I have been lazy. and skipped steps. Not this time..

My body is so sore now...

Do you guys do your own details? If so, what products work best for you? Thanks.

Meguiar's products work great. They are also donating some product for Bimmerfest...

Lookin good. I used to go to SB every weekend... where on earth is that road? Looks fun!

Anyone have a good place to take your car to for a good detail? I've never clayed or polished a car before; would hate to screw it up right before Bfest. Otherwise the lady will get the best that I can give her.

I am a long time fan of Meguiar's products which works well. I use the on my 87 Toyota which still shines like new. However I like the P21 line for my BMW. The paint prep is gentle enough and the P21S wax is awesome. It doesn’t last as long as a polymer sealant, but what I like is that it shines deep. I use the Meguiar's clay bar to clean the paint as needed (really the weekend prior to Bimmerfest).

The detailing-based companies sponsoring the show will probably be willing to do clay bar demos..
