Decided to try out the new Griot’s Best of Show Detailer but, first I had to remove the layer of yellow pollen with the California Duster!
End results tell me that maybe I don’t need to do that paint correction this year, after all.

And now the fun stuff!

I love best of show detailer. They sent me a free bottle with an order last year. the amount of depth you get with just a spray is incredible. I have a gallon of speed shine that i use just for claying.
Yeh, luv the Best of Show stuff! I have done the complete compound with the triple coat of the Best of Show wax! It just doesn’t get any better than that!Quote:

I've had the BOSSystem sitting in a box at my parents house waiting for me. Not to mention the leatherique kit thats still in its wrapping since last summer. I still haven't done a proper shoot with my car and it's killing me.
School is cool! When you get to it and if you have the time and ability to be without the car for a few days; do the complete compound followed by the three coats of Best of Show wax. I believe their recommend time between coats is measured in days not hours.Quote:

It's been cool for far longer than it had to be lol. My plan it to start with the BOSS fast correcting cream, move to the BOSS perfecting cream and wrap it up with the BOSS sealant. I started a paint correcting last year but never followed through. I'd like to give it another shot, seeing as how I'll finally have my own garage to work in. I'm considering doing a ceramic coating. I suspect if i go though route I could most likely hold off on the sealant right?Quote:

Took three hours today to have a little fun. Thanks BMW! I believe M is finally back! [emoji41]

The only pic I've taken of my car in months... finally getting washed on Friday after around 6 months without a proper wash. This winter has been too damn long!

Last I checked, BMW M never went anywhere... lolQuote:

Thx. I love the red caps as well.
I’ll call this one Yellow Haze because, of the significant layer of pollen in it!

Not only has the ZHP reinvigorated my passion for cars, it has gotten me to start dabbling in photography again, which I used to really enjoy.
Nice job! I dabbled in long exposure photography many years ago...Used to shoot from a slightly higher angle and use a flash under the car. Produced some pretty cool results. Mind you this was back when we used a thing called “film” so you didn’t get to see the results until after it was developed. :cool I have a 5dmkiii now, so I should try some LE shots again - maybe after I get the Sportlines installed...
Have to say your car’s paint looks amazing.
Makes the paint look wet.Quote:

Love that photo, Spenser. Never sell that unicorn.
When I see nice pictures like this just makes me realize that I need to buy a proper camera.
Reason #69 why I love my car:
Look at how much wood I can fit in my trunk!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...1eb50750bf.jpg

that pic made me realize tourings should have a separate glass hatch that opens for long stuff like wood.
E46 touring got thatQuote:

I have that same compound miter saw... thing is pretty awesome!
Scored it thru my friend who works at DeWalt here in Towson on Employee sale day (Happens two weekends a year) for $260. This was, believe it or not, my first time using a power saw, and I laughed like a mad man after my first cut!Quote:

This is the exact reaction I had. I was chopping small pieces of scrap wood into smaller pieces of scrap wood to feed my new addiction.Quote:

I hope they'll feel the same way we all feel when we use those tools
That's a cool shot. It makes your paint look amazingly glossy.Quote:
