Thanks WhiteExec!
Actually....it was polished and waxed few years ago(it was documented here) and about two years ago it was just waxed.
Both of my cars are daily drivers and i always keep them clean.Regular car washes keep the paint in good shape.

XM are one of the few cars that look good with tints, due to the floating roof.

Those sills look like they have F1 "ground effect'.

Every car looks better and classy with tinted windows. ;)
Sills looks interesting to me for now...they are 2cm longer(towards the ground).I may cut them down to original size.

That does look good, Misha! I approve of your choice of wheels too. That's the style of alloy on my turbo Sed, but all mine need a serious refurb. I wish the paintwork on mine looked half as good as yours too. Which red is yours?

Mandarin is a lovely rich colour. I thought it looked to have a bit more purple in it - mine is in the delage red and pics of it often look nothing like the colour in real life. For evidence, see the pics from when the PO, jamescarruthers, was advertising it - it looks like Venetian red in those. Delage is nowhere near as bright.

Yes....mandarin red suits the Xm the best among dark green metallic,dark blue metallic....White is my favorite but only on S2 cars...because of all painted plastic trims where chrome stripes gives the car all the beauty it needs.
Also...s2 cars have just a touch lighter tone of mandarine red which was used on s1 cars.....it's also a beautiful colour.
Silver,black,light blue...doesn't suit XM,at least for my taste.

Not as spotless as yours, I'm afraid, but she had just done 3200km without a wash :o

Real beauty White Exec...white suits excellent to Xm!
I must admit that i'm weak to white cars.Polar pearl white is my favorite.
Are you considered tinted windows for it?It would maximize it's look. ;)
