Very nice indeed! Did you tape off areas of the car (i.e. the sunroof) you didn't want wax to get onto/into or just free hand? From the photos it looks very clean and shiny. Like a black mirror....

Nope no taping, just free hand but I stayed away from the rubber and weather stripping because wax will break down those things. I used NXT Spray on wax. I sprayed it on a towel first and used it on the car, then used another towel to remove the excess! Oh yeah and the windows are soooooo clean and lint,streak and spot free if you use wax on them!

I bet it makes you want to leave it in the garage and admire your work. [|)]

Looks really great. Good job. I have used the NXT waxes and they are excellent. The NXT window cleaner is a joke though, don't waste your $.

I have always like the 316/318i hatchback. It was the first BMW that I wanted....but opted for a used 325i cabrio to save some money.

Keep up the cleanliness!!
