Decided it was about time the M5 got some was on it, previous owner wasnt big on polish so the paint needed a bit of love, going to have some paint work done in the new year and ill have it mopped after, but for now a customer took offence to the state of the car and agreed to give it some love.
Im not massive for detailing but i do appreciate a clean car, he clayed it then gave it two coats of wax. Really brings the colour out!
anyway:

i know, iv just attempted to get up a very steep hill by my house, was in 4th at 1,200rpm to stop it spinning on the ice, but just got to the realy steep part and i didnt have the torque  or an lsd
lets just say its it was down hill from there on  lucky not sliding backwards, although that could of been run!

Great stuff  Booked up till second week of January atm, but will sort something for sure. As long as the paintshop bake the paint properly, can work on it straight away and wax it etc  They're bound to leave some buffer trails that need removing lol.
