Thanks
I don't know if there is any special treatment or product but I can tell what i do. I have been polishing my cars myself for almost 15 years now and I believe I have come to results at par with professionals. I give my cars 1-2 treatments a year.
I use the Menzerna products and a polishing machine.
First the car is washed in two or three steps depending on the dirt.
- High pressure wash in case it is really dirty. It is only a matter of getting sand/dirt of the car to avoid scratches from the real wash.
- Wash the car with soap (any car soap without wax can do). First “real” wash is done with a soft brush with a light touch. After this wash most people would consider the car clean now.
- Final wash is with a wash mitt from Meguiars
https://www.meguiars.com/automotive/...iber-wash-mitt. Other wash mitts can do as well. Same soap is used as in second step.
After this wash the car is clean and ready for polish.
- First I give it a full polish with Menzerna 3800 -
https://www.menzerna.com/products/po...ish-plus-3800/ - it has a minimum of cut and I use a polishing pad without any cut. The polish removes the final dirt that the washes didn’t and gives a fine shine. It also removes minor scratches and swirls that occur from normal usage. For this step I’d rather use more time than using a polish with more cut.
- Finally I give the car two layers of protection with Menzerna Power Lock Ultimate Protection
https://www.menzerna.com/products/po...te-protection/ . This is done by hand and the front of the car gets three layers.
When I am done the car almost looks as if it has a final layer of glass. If you look in the thread for my old F30 you will see how an eight your old car with almost 200.000km can look like in its original paint. Also for more pictures of sunset orange you can look at my wifes m240i here:

And no. You normally don’t see X1s in sunset orange. I have only seen a single X1 in sunset orange in Germany once.
