First UDM Detail on my 87 BMW 325is (Red)

The car has been sitting in the garage for about a month now, it's usually my daily driver but I started the full detail and then got lazy and stopped doing it. I finally finished it today since I had my OEM wheels arrive this week. The car has been neglected for about a year now so it was due time for a detail especially since summer will be over soon and it'll be ready for the winter. My main focus was exterior only. I only purchased UPGP & UTTGP. I didn't buy the UPPP, but I might give it a shot next time after hearing all the news about it.

Process:

Paint

CG Citrus Gloss wash
ONR lube with fine clay
50/50 106ff/HTEC @ 1700
UDM UPGP

Tires & Trims

3 Coats of UTTGP on tire
1 Coat of UTTGP on trim

The front grills and lower valance was never treated so ignore that. Here are the pics, no sun pictures so I'll have to take some for ya next time.

Final verdict:

Really love how hte UTTGP applies on and how smooth it feels. Much better than OS, anyone want to buy my OS?

Barely used. The appearance is very wet to me and the paint is slick which is to my liking. The real test now is to see how it'll hold up for the rest of our harsh winter up in the Pacific Northwest. The UTTGP is really nice as well, but I have a hard time applying it sparingly to tires though, those suckers just eats it right up. It does look real nice and if you touch it doesn't leave your hands a film of goo or anything, it doesn't even stick to your hand, feels like it was sealed into the tires! Only time will tell as well on how I like this product and how it holds up. I know for a fact I'll have a handful of detailing goodies that I'll be posting up this week for sale.

Any questions ask away

MISTAKE ON MY PART, BUT IT'S ULTIMA, NOT UDM.

Wow that looks great not very many E30's that look like that's pure sex on wheel's I remember seeing your car in a thread awhile ago, significant diffrence I would say. One thing is what are all those letter's supposed too mean "ULTIMA"? I just purchased 2 buffers a PC 7424, and a rotary buffer I don't know like 3-4000rpm's max just kinda excited too see results like that knowing I can do the same. Pic's are coming soon but my car is'nt very exciting prob my mom's car.

Been good, very busy. Still trying to find the perfect E30, I guess I should have never gotten rid of my 87. I guess for now I will try and keep the Land Rover on the road.
