Raj, what is your product? I dont want to opticoat as I would shit bricks having something borderline permanently on there.
I have only washed the car once since getting it and thats because I am scared and have to do it gently and the like, so need something to protect it. Can you price me up a sealer or whatever it is plus a stage one buff and PM me? Also my piano black trim came pretty bloody swirl and scratched from the dealer along with the exterior, what have you got to fix interior? cheers man |

Or is it just a recommendation not to drive it for 2 days to let the opticoat cure?

Yes I left the car overnight - I did not get the wheels opti coated as suggested by Reflect Effect - he suggested I clean them weekly - I can say that the product is great so far, it has been 2 months and it works great, bugs, tree marks and even light tar just comes right off during the wash with the soapy sponge. I had a residue on my boot lid and was showing a friend how easily it comes off by hosing the lid down and with a soft microfibre rag it came right off without soap. The lifetime warranty requires a yearly visit were they reapply it to parts were it might be wearing thin. So far so good

Interesting aside - he commented the paint depth on the current 3 series is almost equivalent to a Holden commodore !

yes thinner than previous models and all come from the Sth Africa plant. Expected approx 120-130micron paint depth and he is getting approx low 100's
5 series etc still have decent paint depth

YEs, this is so true, in regads to thinness of paint. Morrie from Reflection Perfection in Melbourne has done a number of F30's now and said all have paint on the thin side! Not the best news I wanted to hear after unloading all that cash on a new car!

Does leave you a little deflated with the quality of BMW 3 series but otherwise I must say I'm loving the car
