Just like Chris and a few others on here i have dabbled with detailing my car. Iv had a few Bmw's inc the below Schnitzer and a std M3 evo.
With the schnitzer, i learned that these products actually made the car look younger, appeared much more glossy and made the car more apeasing. The biggest surprise for me was how much a clay bar made to the initial clean up and preperation of the new cleaner wax's and or polishes that i would use to make the car mint. I literally removed all the old layers of polishes and waxes that i thought was helping in the early days and started a fresh. A quick sneak pic of my old car at Trax..  Before anyone pips up that its only an astra... So what.. The car you see above started life as a std 318is sport, which was only a 1.9 16v with around 150 bhp (once it had a throttle body mod, new exhust , bmc filter and a remap custom chip. ) It also had receipts of over 9K from Bmw to bring it up to the Schnitzer spec that you see. The owner before me actually also had 6 pot brake coversion fitted alongside a 340 bhp highly tuned 3.2. Sadly not acquired by me. I used to frequent many bmw shows and loved nothing better than prepping the car for a show. Mine was always clean but alas was not concours due to having a few incidents with many bodyshops touching things up here and there and the fact that my car was always flying up and down the motorways acquiring many stone chips etc. How circumstances change, I now drive a £400 306 which thinks that her birthday is here when i get the bucket and sponge out to clean her. Im soon to be buying a nice Audi a4 quattro but sadly dont have the time or effort to make as new lol..

Love the Beemer Col, shame you haven't kept it.
If it wasn't for this crappy weather, id be giving my Focus a good do over weekly. But right now its such a mess, probably could do with a few panels resprayed now.

What I could do is use touchup pen on the rash, and then flat, buff and polish - but the remaining paint is so thin it really needs completely doing. Bonnet has plenty of paint on - so could do that there. Thing is I don't have any free time and im driving it a lot now, so it'll just collect more. For now i'll just keep it clean, and if the day comes I have a garage to keep it in over night every night, it'll be made perfect again.... but that day may never come, not with this car anyway. I hate not having an immaculately clean car and right now it is hanging.

 You'd have to clean it first. I don't do it anymore, I can't even find the time to do my own. But I can recommend - www.obsessivecardetailing.co.uk

I remember a similar thread got posted on the MLR (Mitsubishi Lancer Register) a few months back but it was a standard Astra VXR - The poor guy got rippppped much for the same things people here have said, as in why bother etc etc.....
Personally it doesn't bother me what someone does with their own time, it's borderline OCD really but great if you're making a business out of it!
