Very nice.

Two questions:

Did you polish the stripes?
Did you mask off the black bits? I always get polish on them. but yours look polish free.

That's the nicest R56 i've seen so far... and the cleanest. Love the wheels - which ones are they and are they easy to clean?

The black plastic wheel arch bits i did with Back to Black and a lint free cloth, did the trick fine. Did get some overspill on them, but just rubbed it off. The only problem I have is getting the glass clean !! (still got smears) any suggestions on windows please? ? ? ? ?

Lovely looking car

Autoglym products seem to be very popular, I think their glass cleaner is quite good, applied with a clean dry microfibre cloth.

Try A world for detailers... for all aspects of car care, it's a great site & very friendly.
