I would say you have a pretty good basis to get started with steps 1-3. I'm not so familiar with the poor boys stuff as I've tended to go the hard way with collinite 476.

I haven't waxed a Z3 since I had the silver one which was probably about 2 years ago. The paintwork on my current Z3 really needs a good paint correction detail to sort it out, so I don't really bother much in making it shiny. Things move along quickly in most industries and I guess thats the same with car waxes.

If I was in the market for waxing mine, I'd ask Chris at @Summit Detailing too ;)

What's your preference on make of wash and colonite recommended for black with dare I say it colour defect ? Not looking for show room finish but perhaps the life brought back in his paint , he's been through so much already !

I clayed mine soon after I got it fantastic stuff and so simple.
Was going to get some Showroom Shine or the Williams Stuff, that waterless wash so when on holiday or just need a quick clean before putting in the garage I can do a quick clean..
Whats your opinion?

I used a waterless wash on one panel of an old Volvo wagon years ago and it's been out of service for 10 yrs sitting in back here. It still shines like the day I did it and every time it rains it new again. Use it on all my cars as do all the street rodders. JIM

The only way to brighten it up is to cut the top layer back with a mop, and then polish and wax.
