don't wax it though especially if you're using a caranuba wax. wait til the paint is settled. rule of thumb is you can wax a polyurethane paint after a month that it was painted. the rationale would be to wait until the paint settles onto the metal

I dont even park it outside my house! It lives in a garage 10 miles away untill i move next month and get some off street parking!hubble1990 wrote:No problem mate. Good luck with the up keep. And for the good lords sake don't take it to any supermarket CAR PARKS!!
I finally got the time to finnish off the few remaining things that needed putting back together along with the final pollishing and waxing using the excelent meguiars products i bought. Not much more i can do untill the e46 is sold so here's a few pics of the end result, just wish i had a better camera than the one on my phone which does it no justice and the location wasn't the greatest either!
Btw, forgot to dress the tyres and put the '325i' and 'M' badges on before taking the pics
so you'll have to wait till Guildford or Gaydons pics for better ones!

Looking good. And FINALLY we get the weather to do it justice as well.
Those cloud shots remind me of a shot i took of my e39. I'll see if I can find it.
Looks a peach Barry it really does.

I have since bought some meguiars hot sine tyre tyre dressing and trim detailer which has made a difference!
