e39 530i Clean at last....
Discussion
Well after not having cleaned it for a while it seemed a little overdue:
I forgot to take pictures of the rest of the car - but that picture alone probably gives you an impression of what it was like
So, with some assistance:
We set about cleaning it. That was actually before the clean, and shows what a good job silver paintwork and a phone camera do of hiding dirt
Anyway, after cleaning all the wheels to this standard (getting rid of the baked on brakedust and tar spots - these are 10 year old wheels on their original coat of paint...):
We set about the rest of the car. At this point I got rather engrossed and didn't take any further pictures until we'd finished cleaning and the use of some Autoglym super resin polish:
We also set about cleaning up the tailpipe - original exhaust, 10 years old and we (and by we, I mean one of my helpers - thanks sis!) got this out of it:
After that we applied some Collinite wax to it, so a few gratuitous reflection shots:
Hard work, but ultimately worth it I think!
