Well... It cost me about $2.50 and took 30 minutes.
Magic Eraser. I had heard it worked but never tried it. It provides amazing results. The sponge acts like a superfine sandpaper, that I believe removed all old wax, PC products, BlackWow, Forever Black, and environmentals.

Had a pretty busy day doing the following:
1. Routed the Ipod cable from the Intravee II in the trunk to the center console. One of the occassional hassles of the Intravee is that the Ipod goes into sleep mode if you don't use it within approximately 36 hours, and I have never had any luck setting wake-up alarms on the Ipod. So I would have to open the trunk, then open the access panel on the left side where I had the Ipod stealthly stored, and re-set it. The access panel is tough to open in my car because it is partially blocked by my BSW d110.e46s subwoofer. This procedure isn't really that hard to do, but it sucks when I don't think to do it before I start driving. The Ipod now sits in the small tray between the cupholders and coinholder, so I can re-set while sitting at a stop light. Can't even see it when the armrest is down. BTW, I am otherwise very happy with the Intravee and the BSW sub.
2. Switched to red-clear-red tail lights, clear side markers and clear front corners. New lights are Depo, which seem to be decent quality. I purchased all of these, including bulbs, off Ebay for $188.95 including free shipping. Link to auction is below, but the seller was fishcake321 if this link expires. Overall, I am very happy with this look on my Imola Red sedan - to me the amber just seemed out of place.

3. Installed gloss black kidney grills from Khoalty. I was short on time so I rushed this install, and for some reason one of the grills will not snap in completely. Stays in place until you close the hood, and the top of the grill pops out. Probably just need to re-install with a little more care. Not sure I am sold on the black grill look yet, but since I broke some clips on the OEM chrome grills (they are very brittle!), I will live with the black ones for awhile!
Today I am installing my BSW Stage 1 speaker upgrade, to go with the BSW subwoofer. Will report back with my impressions.

The BSW speaker upgrade is supposed to be a very good upgrade. I will be looking to do this when I am satisfied with all the mechanicals for my ZHP![]()
Today I reserved my hotel room for the upcoming ZHP Mafia reunion so my ZHP will have a nice place to rest while I am sleeping![]()
