Two Car Detailing Tips
Okay, so I haven’t made too much news of it, but I am also a nut about keeping the M3 polished to a brilliant shine. Here are two spring cleaning tips I’d like to share from my trials and tribulations:
First: I had some old wax build up in some of the crevises … I’ve tried using Griot’s spray on wax to remove it in the past and it takes a lot of work and doesn’t ever really get it all off. Today I tried rubbing alcohol on a Q-tip and voila! off it came! a quick buff with a micro-towel to remove the alcohol and the crevises were sparkling like new. It’s possible that if allowed to sit for too long this may be damaging to the clearcoat, but I’ve heard of acetone being used to remove bug & tar before without damaging the clearcoat. It seems A-OK so far.
Second: S.O.S. pads to clean out my exhaust. less than 2 minutes of scrubbing and the inside of my tailpipes sparkled like new. Of course this isn’t recommended for the outside of the tailpipes, as the steel wool would marr the finish.
Enjoy!
