I have scrape on my back bumper (courtesy of the PO) that I may take crack at... after seeing your work!

Thanks

I'm heading out of town for a few days, but will do upon my return.

Thanks for the compliments all. It really was a pretty easy process, which I now realize I have to repeat. . .Went to dinner last night, and was showing one of my car guy buddies my handiwork when I saw for there is a similar scratch just behind the front wheel. *Sigh*

Seafoam treatment on the E39 M5 for my dad, kinda of a PITA to remove intake plenum and velocity stacks then pour seafoam in all 8 ITB's.. Did make a difference, car seems to warm up faster and gets a bit warmer (was always on the cold side before), mpg was gone up a bit, and it feels a bit peppier (maybe placebo, power was never an issue with this car..lol)

Doing a seafoam treatment on the E46 is SUPEr easy and made a difference on the wagon as well, via brake booster and half bottle in gas tank. Car seems more responsive off the line.

I recommend 1/3 can in each area. I think i actually did 1/2 can in crankcase and brake booster though.

Washed, clayed rinsed and waxed my hood. First step in recovery is completed. Now only 11 panels to go!!

The paint is so soft and smooth. My mother went out and felt the difference. She was impressed.

Used Meguiars products. Clay kit, wash with the carnuba wax and the finishing wax. No pics. Sorry. :(

Sent from my GS3.

I did 1/2 can intake,/brkebooster line 1/2 can gas tank. Then 1/2 can into oil 500 miles before an oil change.

I run Techron or Seafoam thru the gas tank every 1200-1500 miles or so.

Seafoam thru intake is FUN!
