Finally dusted off the DA Polisher that’s been sitting in the basement for a year since I bought it to prep car for the Brit and Euro show: Wash Clay Wash and dry Spot Carpro Clearcut (heavy cut) Carpro Ceriglass on windows (remove etching / water spots) Carpro Fixer (medium cut) Carpro Essence (Light cut glaze with sealant and fillers) Carpro Elixer (High gloss Si02 spray sealant) Also refinished headlight lenses and detailed all black trim with Carpro Perl. Really, really happy with how it came out - and the car already looked pretty good - took out almost all the minor scratches that would show up in certain light and just looks great now. Also got a new alarm fitted and the install is much tidier now - he removed a crazy amount of crap from under the kick panel - the remote is half the size of the old one which helps too. Still waiting on workshop to book me in for the gearbox / clutch / who knows.... but car probably hasn’t looked this good in 10-15 years.

So Christmas just past I dashed off to West Auckland to buy this - e39 535i with 3 pedals from factory.

Good to see another CarPro fan! With all that work that's gone into it, you should have gone with a couple of layers of C-Quartz UK

Hi Guys, Just found this group while searching around the internet for some help with my 330D, egr issues yawn... I have a 2010 E90 330D, a 2012 F30 328i and, if I'm allowed to mention it here, a 2007 W164 ML63 for dragging bikes around the place.. I lived in Nelson NZ for 12 years and now live in Perth WA Cheers RCV

Better buy them a Corolla then 🤣

Ceriglass went on with a machine - worked really well to remove that typical rain spot etc by type ‘film’ that never seems to come off.

Looks like brand spanking new @Sammo. Does the Ceriglass get machined on or done gently with a cloth? Presume the latter?

I think quite a lot of people think they can do a manual conversion and realise they have bitten off more than they can chew when they get to the finishing details. Coding, wiring etc. Just picked up a 130i in the same situation that I'm going through the process of finishing the coding, and tidying it up. I wonder if that's what happened with this car.

So the dude manual converted it and is now parting it out less than a year later? Wonder what's happened there

Yeah I'm in Browns Bay. Think you might have posted the listing originally so thank you!

A wet dream 😁

Surely if you were going to drop $20K into a manual conversion, you'd cross the rubicon and fit an S62 at the same time?

A sad sight to see... https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/3405730356412146/?mibextid=dXMIcH
