Yeah, the "clay with "B" " idea is geared more towards ferrous/rust contamination anyhow. For the sap, well, that's just a different kind of job.

Good old 3M Adhesive Remover sure is handy stuff...are you using the stuff in the rectangular can or the aerosol version? The latter never really appealed to me as I fear it'd get everywhere that I *don't* want it.

Can yeah...I'd better not think about an '01 740i Sport too much or I'll be unable to resist. My one mechanic lent me his 740i (earlier year, non-sport) for a few days and much to my surprise I fell in love with how it drove. Always liked the *looks* but never expected to enjoy driving it so much (being so impressed, I gave it a nice detail ).
