Styling is brutish/radical but I like it. Far better than the current styling from BMW with the bunny teeth grill.
BMW have really pushed the boat out with the latest model, the XM.

They'll be needing a new ugly stick after that effort...

Why not treat it to a valet? I've been using the same guy for more than 25 years - costs £25 a time, but I'd never get it looking anything like as 'new' if I did it.
I've purchased a car wash mitt as sponges can hold grit. Instead of using a chamois leather, I have a load of large microfiber cloths.

Use a clay bar to remove any tar and swirls in the paintwork, finish off by waxing and a separate polish. But I need 3 dry days.

Definitely agree with wash-mitt but not microfibre cloths, they don't absorb water, can't beat a chamois in this respect. Microfibre are great for the final polishing (y)

Point taken, but I've never found microfibre to be as absorbent as a chamois... it spreads the water around as opposed to soaking it up. Try it on a house window and see the results.

I've always been a chamois to dry, microfibre or cotton to buff... but I'm probably talking out of my b*m :)
