Maintenance Detailing Series of my F80 M3

I just dialed the M3 in this past weekend, so I made a shorter (for me anyway...) series of videos.

Matt, huge fan of your videos. Sent your site to a buddy at work and I think he's bought half the detailing equipment you recommended.. Hope you have some affiliate links on that stuff so you're monetizing it!

Very nice Money.

Would you say it's a big problem if I use Dawn to strip off the sealant/wax?

Also, what do you think about hand polishing if there are only light spider webs here and there? I don't want to pay a pro just yet because paint still looks pretty good.

Dawn works well. You could certainly hand polish. I've just found it usually don't come out perfectly.
