E30 Zone

Hi Chaps. I'm new to the forum. Firstly
I've just purchased some CARNAUBA GOLD WAX from the following website:-

http://www.stevescleenz.co.uk/online_shop.htm

I have to say that I was most impressed with the results and the price. A deep shine which lasted for weeks. For best results I'm going to seal the wax in with Autoglym Super resin Polish. I also purchased some Blackfire Wet Diamond All Finish Paint Protection. Again superb polish with excellent results. 325i Sport Lachs Silver

Autoglym...? *spit* - why ruin your wax by putting crap polish on top of it...?

There's a huge amount of posts about what polish is the best to use on the Zone. There are varying degrees of polish / waxes you can buy, but Meguiars / Zymol and Zaino are widely recognised as being the best ones to use.

Welcome to the Zone by the way.

Pics of your car...?

Thanks for the welcome and the tip...

Would like to show some pics of my car but having trouble doing so. Can you help. Thanks.
P.S make sure you're wearing your sunglasses....

Look in the FAQ section fella... it runs through how to do everything step by step.

I had a Lachs Silver Sport... my favourite colour!

Ok Will do. Bear with me.

Please try these two links. The car was posted twice over a three year period. Hope they work!

1989 325i Sport finished in Lachs Silver
Factory Standard no modifications.
Have covered 202,000 miles on the same head.

Future plans-Drivers seat will be reupholstered shortly.

Also no photoshop touching up nor any special filters added. The pictures were taken on a cloudless summer day last July.

The car is washed 4 times a week and lovingly maintained regardless of cost.

Thanks for looking

Welcome to the zone mate.

4 times a week, i thought i was bad!

As far as polish goes, zaino is the best around. Its not cheap but you sound like a man that wants the best!

Search in teh photo gallery, you will find loads of pics of freshly zaino'd cars (mine included )

Sweet!

A spit of my old one excpet mine had leather and a Tech 2 wheel.

I want mine back now. Yours looks great!

Thanks.

It took me long enough to find one. Searched high and low for one and as you'll all know there's a lot of dodgy one's out there.
All in all a good car.

Polishes and waxes arne't cheap but it's worth the money in the long run.
I'm going to invest in one of those Porta Cable Polishers in the not to distant future. I've heard they're pretty good.

I've never heard of zaino before. What sort of money are we talking??

around 200 for a full kit.

worth the money tho mate, check out the photo gallery.

My dad paid 80
Then just forked out 15 for microfibre towels

heres were my dad got his kit from

He got John's kit?

I ment around 200 for the FULL kit

Thanks for the link.
After reading so many articles on detailing I thought I'd invest in a clay bar and lubricant.
After carefully washing and drying I started the claying.......

What can I say, the clay was more cleaner than when I took it out of the packaging!. Thats no joke.
It didn't lift a fly nor a spec of dust.

So I must be doing something right

I'll have to give the zaino product a try in the future.
First I must use up all the other cleaners I have before I spend any more cash. Looks good though. The packs seem reasnonable too.

Ill tell you how good it is 2mora my dad will be cleaning it using zaino might even get some photos

I'll keep a look out.

By the way is that an silver M3 you have there?

My dads will be mine one day

compliments to him. Very nice car indeed.

Read em and weep subaru impreza's

Impreza's are fun to play with I love to get behind them and watch em get all out of shape through the corners while iv still got grip to spare

Have a good weekend chaps.
Great talking to you all. Hopefully catch up with you soon.

And don't forget..Keep them clean!

You car is seriously gorgeous, it must be worth a fortune.

Thanks Josh. Paid quite a bit for it and have spent double on cosmetic/running costs.
There's no mods, all standard. Just enjoy keeping it simple.
