sexy can i?

Nice work.

Why you dragged a dull, incandescent lamp to the garage is anyone's guess. Go to Lowe's and grab yourself either a 1000w light stand ($50) or a single 500w lamp ($30)...its a much better way to actually check your work.

[Lou the Greek]

Do you have washed the car with 2bm?

yes i washed with the 2 bucket method.

MJONES, sorry for the late respsone but black ice is some good stuff. gives amazing results matching much more expensive products looks and durability.

Thanks for all the comments

what does this mean? do you actually use like an aircompressor to get the water out, like a hairdryer?

Like an actual compressor blow-gun more likely. I always do this to the E46 M3 fender grilles and EVERY Porsche 911 I touch as those things cry water for hours!

I use it to remove water from those annoying places where my towel cant reach. It's the worst when you wash a car, drive off in it, to later find dried up spots on the bumper and other jams due to excess water spitting out.

where did you buy those csl rims? are they the matte black?

also, are those 19's? and is your window trim the flat black? im thinking of getting the matte black csl's and flat black window trim on my topaz blue 330ci
