After spending two solid weekends painting my son's rooms, I decided to take care of my other baby.

I've owned this car for over 8 months and this is the first time I've been able to wax and polish the exterior (shame on me). The blue tape came in handy because I really hate how wax can leave those white stains on the black rubber molding etc. This tape job only took 30 minutes to complete. Not a bad time investment if you are someone as **** as I.

I even waxed/polished my wifes 3 series. Which by the way, has never been waxed or polished in the five years that she owned the car. She couldn't believe the results. On both cars, we used Meguires Cleaner/Wax and Polish.

nice rims, my parents what to do the same thing to their avant eventually.

 

I think your cars would be better off with a little bit of residue on the trim and more frequent attention!

In any case, looks great!

 

it is very mild and less likely to get stuck in places difficult to remove it from...

Looks great though...nice tape job...I'm impressed

 

Mother's leave no marks on the black trim. You are a SICK man!

 

i put wax on hte tailights (polycarbonate) of most cars (mom's civic to name one)....it buffs right out, and makes it shiny. Unless there is a drastic sideaffect, I will probably still do it.

If i were to blue-tape, id cover up all rubber, and black bumper parts...maybe headlight too.

 

Worried about getting wax on your headlights? You need a hobby!
