DF24 your insight is greatly appreciated. I’ve heard the clay mitts are a lot simply to use. Thanks again! Enjoy the photo.

Wow! Multi-functioning for sure! Good to know. I just cancelled my gallon order, as I still have an almost full bottle of Rinseless on the shelf. This is super helpful! Thanks Jen!

Thanks IceMan!!!!

Hello everyone!  My name is Mike. I purchased my 2015 M5 back in February and for a while I allowed a mobile detailer to care for Grace (Hence my name Grace_the_M5).  He did a good job, but there came a point where I wanted to start caring for her the way I knew she was worthy of. I don't remember how I stumbled upon Adam's products, but man o man am I glad I did. Great products, great customer service.
 
How long has Adam's been your go-to for car care? Am I the only one who has named his car? Please share photos and names of your car! Haha

Welcome to the addiction! That's a clean looking M5. There is one in my building where I work and I love that color, pictures just don't do it justice!

Here's an easy, short answer for you. 
 
In my experience, if you plan on polishing the vehicle after you clay the vehicle, use the mitt because it saves time. 
 
If you are NOT going to polish it afterwards, use the clay bar as it has less potential to scratch/marr the vehicle. 
 
I'm personally not a huge fan of clay mitts for my own reasons but they both work. 

Presumably, yes, but either can cause it. They are both highly effective ways to decontaminate so you can't go wrong either way. One key difference: if you drop the clay, it's general practice to replace it; one way to help is split it in half so you have a spare. If you drop the mitt (you won't since it fits in your hand...unless you're doing some really crazy maneuvers ) just rinse and keep going. Whichever you choose, just be sure the surface is well lubricated...DS or diluted RW 641:1 work perfectly.
 
Bogtom line, you'll probably want to polish after either the clay or mitt, so the decision is yours on which one you'll use. The mitt is significantly faster in my experience.

Because pictures (read: videos) are worth a thousand words, here's a video for both the mitt and the clay. Personally, I find myself using the mitt more now because of the time it saves. But clay is great, too. Recommend you perform the baggie test Adam describes at the start of the Visco clay video just so you can feel the difference...it pretty remarkable. 
 
 
 
 

Thanks - it's the labor of love!? - with a little help from Adam's

As Grace is fairly new, I’ve yet to add any Mods to her. I just got her back from the Auto Body shop. She has some major rock chip damage to her bumper and it was quite unsightly. Quite honestly, I don’t think I want to do too many mods to her, as she is perfect as she is. If I were to splurge, i’d start with an Akropavic exhaust and puts some HRE wheels and maybe (a big maybe) I’d do a front splitter and rear diffuser. I don’t even think she needs a Tune. BMW engineering knows what they’re doing. Haha. You’re M3 is quite lovely! Keep up the fantastic care of her. Find me on Instagram! 

Hello Mike! LOVE THE CAR   Fellow ///M owner and all around BMW enthusiast here!!! Do you have any performance mods done yet? I have driven the F10 M5 before  so I know exactly how much you must love driving Grace! You made the right choice with using Adam's products to keep her clean, its hands down the best you can find and believe me I have tried them all! Heres a pic of my E93 M3, Grace's little sister! Hey did I mention I LOVE your car? 

Welcome. Nice looking car!

Welcome to the forums, picked some fine products to keep Grace looking her best.
