Nice job!!
What wax is that you used? I can see turtle wax? I have never waxed mine
I didn't use the turtle wax this time, It was the Carplan that you can see in the green bottle next to the turtle wax. Probably not the best stuff in the world but it makes a big improvement on what it was like without it so I'm happy.

Nope 18. It wasn't quite £1k, more like £800 but it's still a fair bit for me to pay out.
@ Mark A - Where did you get that wash mit from? I broke my cheap one when putting it to good use today.
I got the microfiber wash mitt from Tesco for £3 online when i ordered my mums shopping, Ive not seen them on there since tho. The lambs wool one was £8 from ebay, i think its a Meguires one but not 100% sure.
Cheers, Ill have a look on the bay now.
I can insure an E46 328i for 1200 and I'm 18 (19 Thursday). You must live in the bronx.
Also please tell me you didn't use that sponge for the bodywork
Also how did that lot cost you £40, from a quick look it looks to be about £20 worth of stuff

All those cloths piled up, sponge on the floor, horrid. You don't really take care with your equipment do you? I'd not be surprised if there was tons of tiny grit in your cloths and sponge, all needs chucking away tbh.

You must have a really good post code as I'm paying a little over 1200 for the 318, and no the sponge was for the wheels
As for the price of it I think I got ripped off with it all tbh. The T-cut was £10, Wash Mit was £6 and I broke it, Bumper Trim stuff was £5 so it all added up.
Anything that touches the paintwork was not anywhere near the floor and all the cloths were in a plastic bag, I had just pulled the bag down to take the picture. The sponge is only for the wheels.
Not to mention the fact most of the stuff looks like the tat you get at a Carfax discount shop
as said you can get better products for the money, and you should probably check out a site like detailingworld.co.uk to get some tips on best practice when cleaning, but I understand you had got the car cleaning urge so had to take what products were available locally - and I always appreciate people putting effort in to cleaning their cars. Nice work
I really dont like the shade of white in your sig..

It's just all wrong, when will people ever learn?
And your wheels are different to your paintwork because? Your car is obviously not 'your baby' if you are cleaning the wheels with sand.

Yeah I have signed up on detailingworld and have been having a good read. I had never polished a car before today so although the chap products might not have been the best I was impressed with the result and I can look into doing it better next time.
I'm hardly cleaning the wheels with sand. Putting the sponge on the floor was probably not the best thing to do and I will probably buy a new one for next time.
I also fail to see how you can make the assumption that i dont car about my car just because I made the mistake of putting the sponge on the floor and potentially getting some dirt on it.
