Finally had decent weather to git'er done . . . almost.

.1 Clay bar mitt
.2 Menzerno 2500 cutting polish
.3 Menzerno Power Lock Sealant, one coat so far

The hood has 2 coats of powerlock and two coats of P21S Carnauba.

I wasn't looking forward to standing on a small step ladder to do the roof, but to my surprise it was pretty easy since 75% of the roof is glass.

Tomorrow I'll put a 2nd Power lock coat on everything again but the hood, while the first coat "gasses out" tonight. I did the hood yesterday for 1st coat and a 2nd coat early this AM.

Lastly, 2 coats P21S Carnauber wax topper for a hopefully creme de la creme finish

* I also still find autoglym gel rubbed with a toothbrush or a larger detailing brush (looks like a big toothbrush) works the best at detailing overspray onto the black plastic trim. Best is to be careful and not get it on it in the first place. But if you do like with the 2500 cutting polish autoglym takes it off and leaves the plastic bright and clean.

For those of us that own black X5's . . . "they deserve" to look just like this!
