Looking good.

I would definately go over it with some decent polish and wax at the least.  The buffer kit from B&Q works great on my cars and makes the polishing/waxing a joy, mess free and fun (provided you don't cover the pad in polish and switch the thing on prior to pressing onto the bodywork!)

Don't talk to me about flooding! My car looks like it's been on a dusty building site! It took me 1.5 hours the other day to get to the hospital about 6 miles away becuase the 4 main routes were all closed and the cars coming the other way were covering my car with muddy water

Next spell of good weather, back out with the polish and toothbrush ay Si? shall I come to yours or you to mine?

The one that said "yes I admit I'm a bit of a detailer, sorry Mike, you were right" though not in those words exactly!

Once it is dry, then maybe you should consider looking up one of the site sponsors Here and get some detailing liquids and microfibre cloths for that tired old M3 (as well as yourself)  

Hey! you never know, you might even spend more time cleaning the car than driving and enjoy it.. (like some on here..ROTFL)

No, it's called DETAILING & CAR CARE Which means you detail AND care, not one or the other. I think this thread should be removed for you breaking the rules  Mike

sorry, I read it to mean Detailing & (also) Car Care as opposed to Detailing &=with Car Care, so two seperate subjects, not one.

 

(but as you've accused me of being a Detailer  since I admitted to using a toothbrush to help clean the wheels it really doesn't matter anymore - does it?)

What?! Cars are for driving!

Mind you I do prefer to Drive a Clean car - but wash & wax, that's it!

no point in point in poncing about if you use the car - that's for garage queens

Go on, try it, you might like it!

I even got a compliment off a valeter today which is 9 days after the good clean up and she still looks mint.

Go on, impress us, clean it properly THEN take some pics  (looks like a right dog in the first pic )

P.S. Glad you put it in the right section anyway!
