   My mum took my car to work this morning, so I got left with the 118d MSport.  I had to fit the new mats to the car, so that involved extracting the carpets and then fitting the mats.  Meh, Ill give it a wash as well..  Just a wash :D
So many hours later :D  Im finished.  Just in the door at 00:45!
First of all the car was foamed with super snow foam through a autobrite foam lance and left to dwel for 5 mins.  I then rinsed the foam off and washed the car using the 2 bucket method.  The amount of crap that came off the car was unbelievable :D
I then clayed the bonnet of the car using Sonus ultra fine detailing clay.  This wasnt cutting it.  This was the first time the car had been clayed in the 2 months since it was delivered from the dealer.  The clay was not a bad colour, but it was still grainy.  Ive often said that the fine clay is a good clay for frequent use, but for first time use it doesnt have the abraisives to cut it.  I prefer megs clay or poorboys clay as they are more durable. So no point in doing the rest of the car with it.... Ill have to do it again soon with better clay :D
The car was then coated in Zymol HD Clense.  There were no swirls at all on the car, which was quite surprising since it went into the dealers for a new door (not a respray thank feck) when some old bint reversed into the drivers door!  So obviously they didnt clean it as there were no dealer swirls.  Woo!!
The car was then coated in Zymol Titanium, Some by hand and the rest by applicator as it was using too much wax :D 
The engine bay was prepped with Chemical guys Natural shine and the paint work coated in Zymol titanium by hand.
The door shuts were cleaned with megs fine cut cleaner and then coated in Colinite 476s
The exhaust was cleaned using p21s metal polish soap... Pic tomorrow!
The leather was treated using Jewelultra diamondbrite leather protector, this will then be topped by BMW leather feed that I got from the dealers.
