Steamer works great, steamed the seats, seatbelts and carpet. Also the dash and a/c. It producesalot of steam, was surprised. However the car interior is black so I cant really see any difference. The carpet however looks alot cleaner a the car smells clean and fresh, took away the slight mouldy smell, (idk if it was coming from the seats or a/c). For $320.00, I think it's worth it :)

Looks good. I like those new 5's. Actually most of the new BMW range looking great..especially 4-6 range :) I always find white cars can get really shiny but it's pointless trying to use anything to get any depth on them. Do you know what products he used on it?

All AutoGlym Products was used on the BMW with 3 layers of AutoGlym High Definition Wax.

Try it and see for yourself. Layering does make a big difference in the shine. We layered some cars with HD Wax when i did the certification training at AutoGlym's International Training Center at Letchworth England.

I like the layering, it was easy enough for me.
Btw, Autogeek has a 20% off sale today until Sunday noon. Just in time for Christmas.

great info guys.

I get so frustrated cleaning my pickup every single day, because of the roadworks in my area.

Tar everyday on my rims and fender and sidestep.

i'm actually considering leaving it home and travelling to work.

F'real.

Tar is a pain in the arse, to clean. Especially on lighter coloured cars.

Should probably keep them. Might need in time. When I first bought pads I thought I'd be fine with just a few, but now they're stacking up a bit more. Happens to everyone I think.

Ultimate paste wax and polish work well. Surprised at how well it beads. Water just rolls off, and it smells so damn good :D

How did you think the usage was?
If you want nice smell and beading go Dodo Juice or Swissvax.
