What did you do for your ZHP/ BMW / MINI today? #2

[fredo]

Replaced on the e90:
Trunk lift cylinders
Windshield washer pump
Angel eye (passenger side)

Edit : went to the body shop for above repairs. They charged $50. The angel eye and washer pump require to remove the front tire and the inner part.

It's all about using warm water in the buckets, made a huge difference...

Thanks, and yeah, definitely going to be doing that from now on. Helps to loosen dirt/salt as well.

Hot water FTW!!

what wheel cleaners do you guys use? id say probably my LEAST favorite thing is cleaning the ZHP wheels. i currently just use soapy water and a small sponge pad used for bug removal normally to clean the wheels/inbetween the spokes but it always leaves a layer of dirt/brake dust on the barrel in places you can't stick your hand.

products you use for cleaning/brushes/etc?

Charlie and BP turned me on to the BMW wheel cleaner. Works pretty good. The spray bottle sucks though.
Otherwise, I use sonax wheel cleaner. Pricey, but works well.

Scooped up a set of AC Schnitzer Type III's today in 19x8.5, ET43 flavor. Not sure if I'm going to keep them and try to run as meaty square setup as I can, or sell.

I use Sonax and BMW wheel cleaner interchangeably...if I'm stopping by the dealer for parts i'll pick some BMW cleaner up or if I'm on amazon and need to tack something on or use cash back rewards from the CC, I'll pick up Sonax. They are both just as good IMHO.
