No, I'm not that far into cleaning/detailing. Just one of these:

and this:
http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-a ... d_322.html

I just spray the car loads with with this, let it dwell for a while, rinse off, spray some more on, wash with a microfibre sponge, spray some more on and then rinse.

The results are plently good enough for me.

I know, I'm having second thoughts at the moment as it looks so bloody shiney and spotless. It's not been picked up yet.

But the sale of this and my 318is will lead to me stepping up a level in E30 ownership.

Looks cracking as ever Dan, It will be a very lucky buyer that gets it.

I hope it will resurface on the forum when it lands.

The headlights are DIY items, have a look in the Wiki to see how they're done. Thank you for the compliment.

That has got to be the cleanest E30 Ive ever seen!! I know you're looking forward but you'll regret letting that one go.....not everyone looks after them as well as your photos (todays and previous) show you do!!

I was trying to convince the wife into letting me buy yours but shes a bad wife!!!
