I used "Wheel Wax" brand rim cleaner that I picked up from Bimmian.

It might be about two weeks before I wash it again since I'm going out of town next weekend. But I'll let you know! I'm hoping it helps cause I spend more time cleaning my rims than I care too. Curse you brake dust.

Wonderfully clear and sunny today... Drove the car in and around Palos Verdes for most of the morning... Terrific.

135Pats · 07-01-2012, 05:46 PM

Washed/shampooed/clayed/waxed/sealed. Car took alot of twigs and branches on the chin this weekend, it was well deserved.

bmw1racer · 07-05-2012, 11:50 AM

Bought a case (six) of Mobil 1 0W-40 at Kragen/O'Reilly... On sale for $5.99/quart... Good deal.

Approaching 100 degrees outside this afternoon, but had to get her ready
for the annual summer trip to the Outer Banks next Tuesday. LOTS of
sweat and tears (from the sweat). Plenty of Aquafina consumed...

1). CG HoneyDew Snow Foam wash applied w/Foamaster

2). Detail wheels / apply AA Wheel Protectant

3). Coat of XPEL Sealant to front, front quarters, mirrors & entire hood

4). Coat of Dodo Juice Orange Crush (Wolfgang sealant applied last week)

5). Five hours later...stand back...admire

6). Erection

erabmw135 · 07-08-2012, 06:11 PM

Washed it then clay barred it then waxed it then washed it again

Gray_Panther · 07-08-2012, 07:54 PM

Drove it around the city. 750 more miles until the engine is broken in. Feels like I am dating the hottest girl imaginable and am unable to have sex with her until the 42nd date

135Pats · 07-08-2012, 08:52 PM

Took a trip down to NC, about 250miles each way, so the car was in need of a serious bath....problem is it was about 100 and extremely humid, so I got lazy after about 2 hours.

Washed, chem guys diablo gel on the wheels, chem guys shampooed twice, griots clayed+speed shine (got lazy here and didn't do the back on the car), wolfgang sealed, windex, tire black, break dust keeper-offer.

Grotesque weather...

brusk · 07-08-2012, 09:32 PM

Well not exactly today but in the last week added CDV delete, turbo back exhaust, M3 rear subframe bushings, quaife LSD and SS brake lines. But she did get a bath today.

Washed the car today after having an unusual July rainstorm here in SoCal... Then I touched up the nick I got on my bumper from driving on the freeway last weekend.

3VOM · 07-14-2012, 12:32 AM

Got the 1er a new CF lip spoiler, JB4, BMS intake, new euro plate bracket and working on some LEDs, wheels and some other goodies.
