Watch out amateur apprentice polishing X5
Some of the products I like- Meguiars gold class wash (cheap and won't strip wax)
- Dawn dish soap (for stripping old wax, only if you plan to polish)
- 70% rubbing alcohol (available from your local pharmacy for wipe down after claying or polishing).
- P21S wheel cleaner
- Magic clay blue w/ clear kote lube
- Adam's under cariage spray
- 303 vinyl treatment for exterior trims
- Plexus plastic protectant for in dash (nice lemon smell, no glossy)
- Menzerna 106FF, finish is just amazing will try PO85RD next
- Menzerna IP (this one dust and gum up with orange LC pad but works way better with LC yellow)
- Meguiars gold class tire gel (I opt for non glossy one, harder to find but last for weeks and won't splatter if you let it set)
- zymol HD cleanse for spot cleaning (water marks and bird popo)
- Zymol concours, reminds me of Atlantique with that clove smells but easier to buff-off a little more oily but finish is deep and warm like more expensive Zymol (not sure how long it'll last, I'll keep an eye to see if it comparable to vintage I have on my 535i). No I don't have real vintage only from SKSK1 kit which is no longer available.
Some of the tools I like- Zymol Wheel brush
- Flex 3401, power with safety
- LC flat pads, will try wool and CCS next time just for fun
- Karcher electric PW, I have the old one but new gun bring it back to life.
Brought in an Ex BMW-F1 Williams crew(in read shirt) for help, after the BMW-Sauber team didn't call him back. so Phil/Fminus watch out this kid has alot of potential
