There are many, many products out there that are largely the same for removing iron fallout - I will link to the 'fallout' page from the guys I use.
This is obviously UK based, so just use as a guide for what should be available elsewhere.
I have used both CarPro and also Valet Pro, both worked. Some have a clingier formulation, which may help on vertical panels.
You will be surprised as to just where and how much fallout can be on a vehicle, (idiotic neighbours not withstanding :-) )

Will be trying it on my ceramic coated car when wither is over.
I already use it on the wheels - (Sonax - same stuff)

Baller drug dealer is where’s its at old man. They don’t know if it’s Milton Friedman or Rick ross

I flashed bm3 stage 1 with max cooling. Holy criminy! I also turned off the idiotic ct pre-heat routine. It is now, even more than before, the perfect car.

Good idea to provide a link.

Here is one for the US folks: https://www.carsupplieswarehouse.com...nate-auto-prep
Even better if you live close by to Romeoville and can pick it up so you don't have to spend $100 for free shipping.

Now is not the time to buy but wait for a sale. They seem to have several throughout the year for 15-20% off and their prices are already pretty low compared to other places, so it ends up being a pretty slick deal when you shop their sales.

What are y’all using to clean the wheel barrels and calipers? Cleaning the face, I have a soft mf brush and a retired mf mitt. But getting between the spokes and to the barrel and caliper behind them is tough with these 664M wheels. The 21” M wheels on the X7 are much much easier.

At some point, I may do the wheel off ceramic just to make the cleaning easier.

I’ve seen those but they just look like a scratch factory.

I haven't had any issues. But, I am going to get the wheels redone soon so I mean it doesn't bother me.

They do make MF Towel ones

Wheel Woolies. I bought the large one on its own and it works well. A few months later, my local shop offered a P&S Brake Buster kit that came with the tiny Wooly and I use that for the spokes on the Alpina wheels as well as on the exhaust pipes.

This is the kit with the small wooly and the brush: https://www.carsupplieswarehouse.com...ers-kit-gallon

The brush's bristles are hard so they don't touch the wheels, but I use it to clean the tires with Brake Buster and also to clean the WeatherTech mats.

Thanks! That’s the kind of thing I’m looking for.

Myles the detailer arrived about 30 minutes ago. Had a little chat & he showed me all the marks/scratches on the bonnet that showed up under his 'special' light, never realised how bad it actually is. Made him a coffee & have left him to get on with it, he said if I can still see the marks when he's finished I won't have to pay, I like someone thats confident in their abilities.
Looking forward to seeing the finished job

You will be pleased. Probably a multi-step paint correction. Break open the wallet.

Changed plugs, oil and oil filter today. Easy quick job. Plugs looked a little beat up.

Bonnets done & I think it looks really good, yes if you look hard enough you can still see that it’s not perfect but it’s a 5 year old car that’s done 50,000 miles, so yeah very happy with it.
I don’t think visually that the difference is night & day but it certainly feels a lot smoother now than the rest of the car.
Have been told it’d be better if I didn’t get it wet or dirty for 12 hours to let the ceramic fully cure, so am leaving it in my garage until tomorrow.

Myles the detailer was great, really genuine guy. So much so that I had to persuade him to take my money as there is still a scratch in the clear coat that runs across the middle of the bonnet that he couldn’t completely remove but you do have to know where it is & really look by tilting you’re head & catching it in the right light to be able to still see it, ended up giving him £50 as he wouldn’t take the £80 he had quoted.
He had a good look round the G31 & we agreed on £150 to 2 stage polish & ceramic coat the rest of the car & a full interior valet. Going to arrange for him to do the rest of the car in a couple of weeks time so as it’s looking as good as it can for the summer

I agree. But I just got the car a month ago. And the warning notice came on so I decided to do it as a base point for the following maintenance jobs.

Really not sure so I decided to change them now since the vehicles warning light was advicing me to to do so.
