The F10 is pretty dirty at the back but I brought out e39 first to clean. It was left in the garage for a while as it had a big dent that was pdr and now its going to be back for driving duty. I always remind my kids do not rub the paint of the cars but they cant help it. So you can see how thick the dirt it.
It will be dropped off the dealer and I want to clean it first before dropping it off. I always tell them not to clean any of my cars.

When the dealer do an oil change, they put grease inside the car. Atleast they washed the car when they give it back.

Gents, look into Jescar Powerlock plus Collinite 845. Supposedly, it's a pretty high level of protection (almost as good as 9H ceramic) and when maintained w/ P&S Beadmaker, it rivals a ceramic coating. Thing is, it doesn't last as long. That's the combo I'm going to use on my F10. If after a few attempts it doesn't work as well as people say, I may bite the bullet and do the ceramic coating (Cquartz or Geyon) myself. Should last at least 1 year.

I follow his channel and content as well. It was a genuine question as I am currently trying to decide on the wax/sealant versus coating for my new M5. You are talking in terms of smoothness and hydrophobics not life? I am tempted to just go the wax/sealant route being I intend to do a weekly maintenance wash and then use a drying aid. I'm currently using Ammo Hydrate, but want to try Bead Maker and Gyeon WetCoat (not at the same time) once this is gone.

I'd like to try ceramic coating on my wife's X5, simply for low maintenance, but I'm a bit scared to take the plunge and apply it myself. How do you like Hydrate? Beadmaker has been great, even as a stand alone but it is a bit finicky to get right. If it's too humid, it doesn't apply well.
