My F30 mineral Grey BMW

I just finished with an extended car wash!

See below the steps I have taken:

1. Cleaning wheels - CarPro Iron.X
2. Wash down in the wasbox
3. Handwas - Chemical Guys Mr. Pink (2 bucket system)
4. Wash down in the wasbox
5. Vacuuming interieur + general cleaning- Poorboys World Natural Look Dressing
6. Dry the car
7. Clays - Angelwax Medium Clay Bar & CarPro ImmoLube
8. Apply glaze - Poorboys World Black Hole
9. Wax car - Angelwax AG silver mettalic wax
10. Apply tire dressing - Meguiars Endurance

During step 9 something went wrong. I think I applied to much wax but I don't know for sure. It can also be the wax with the metallic details. In the sunlight you can see all kinds of metallic stripes that where difficult to lose...

See a picture of the problem below.


Eventually I have used a little Chemical Guys All Clean on a micro fiber towel. This worked well and the stripes are gone!

All in all a big job and learned something for the next x!

Below some pictures of the end result.
