The dark knight (E39)

WAY before the 86's colors were released I had every intention to own whatever type of black I could have. Several years and enough experience with a black car later...there was no way in hell I'd put myself through with the cleaning to keep it looking good. My hats off to you ladies and gent's with black 86's. Black cars sure do look pretty when they're cleaned up

The car in question....has not been any sort of cleaned since...oh a little bit before I got the BRZ. Paint was totally soiled, wheels were CAKED in brake dust, it just looked miserable. Poor thing...






























Too bad the BRZ is dirty again. But for now I must go spend the next 4 hours getting wax out of every damn crevice on the e39 before I can drive around acting like Jason Statham.


If anyone wants to critique my cleaning please feel free...

-Rinse entire car
-Spray wheel/tire cleaner
-Scrub wheel/tire with wheel wand/tire brush
-Rinse wheel/tire
-Pre-foam
-Rinse car
-Foam car
-Scrub with mitt's
-Hose rinse
-Dry
-Clean glass
-Tire shine
-Wax
-Buff


Hope you guys enjoyed a very amateur car cleaning!
