It works well but I don’t like the wait time so it doesn’t get used much.

This was the video that convinced me to try SwissVax. The M3 used is identical color spec and leather condition to my old E90 M3 so I knew what to expect.

I’m a sucker for detailing recommendations from trusted sources. I’m going to order some of this. I have more detailing supplies than Advanced Auto in my garage!

I’m too lazy to consider myself a diy detailer so the shop in the video is a better source than I am.

Yeah, but you like it. I'll give it a shot. I really don't put anything on the seats other than Duragloss dressing and that is really not a leather treatment, it is, well, a dressing. So I'll scrub it with P&S and give this a go. I'll try the Milk Conditioner. P&S cleans fine.

I got the leather care kit to start with and have reordered the larger cleaner spray bottle a couple times.

Leatherique cleaning/conditioning kit is the other product I have. It seemed to work well but takes a fair amount more effort than SwissVax, which is spray, brush, wipe and go as shown in the video.

I have used Leatherique, many years ago to revive the leather in my E32 740i. Outstanding stuff, but you are right, takes a lot of effort and multiple steps. Great for an older car where you are trying to inject some life into the seats.

Yes! It's the little details that make our build individual and unique.

That carbon one is very nice!

And I was confused looking at Jeet’s pictures. Does one need to remove the entire filler assembly to replace the fuel cap?

You don't need to replace the filler assembly to put on the fuel cap cover - the cap cover just sticks on top.

I fitted a new filler assembly as i could no longer open the filler door. It was stuck shut.

I just fitted the golden wrench cap while I was doing the work in that area

Although when the speeds started to get ridiculously fast (an indicated 138) I decided that there was nothing more to prove & let it go.
Fortunately traffic was very light but all the same it was a bit silly of me. I was following the M5 at around 60mph with a two second gap when the car the M5 was following moved over into the middle lane & the guy booted it…well I was thinking that perhaps he would, so I already had the G31 in 3rd gear & Sport Plus & also floored it….just stayed with him from about sixty until my better judgment caught up with me & I let him go

All I’m hearing is you lost.

It had been a very long time since I last heard of Swissvax products. You must be have been hanging around here back in the day when detailersdomain used to post a lot.

Well the good news is you know who did it. I have a similar mark on my passenger side rear wheel lip that just showed up one day. Paintless dent removal.

Jesus, that sucks. That’s a tricky PDR area. Looks like some paint damage too?

I once bought my 3.5 year old a bike at a flee market with training wheels. It’s was a beater, something got him to learn on. We had just taken delivery on a brand new Honda Accord. We went out dinner as a family that night and came home. After about 10 minutes, we were “where’s Harrison?” Went into the garage and he’s riding it around the Accord. The handle bars had no grips on the ends. Just straight pipe. He was dragging the end all around the car. Deep double scratches on both sides. Novelty wore off that car pretty quick.

They are kids. Shit happens.

You’re definitely more easy going than me! I’m not sure I’d have the spirit to wash it the day after a dent.
