Since I had to wait for customers to collect products today till 7pm I thought I should give my car a protective coat before winter sets in. Had to take a few pics and share...

Pictures are just done in nice light and it brings out the shine. I really need to polish the car, has a bit of swirl marks on it. Also loads of battle scars from car parks as well.

Only washed the car and put on some Autoglym Extra Gloss Protection on the paint and rims, also Vinyl & Rubber Care on the black trim. I will get down to the polishing before summer arrives.

Looks splendid Kin, love the overhead shot.

I love Avus but did you know it was named after a former race track in Germany which is fitting for an M colour but the latin translation means Grandfather.   

Can't work that connection out

Sorry Kin, how rude of me.


Your work has really paid off, I just wish I had a nice, heated undercover place where i could polish my M5.
