Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Scott: The
Meguiar's rubber hair brush helped a bit.
Bioman: Sarcasm?
Corey: It's a pretty trick little dressing. A little goes a long way and I'm getting more than a week durability on it for tires/trim without browning.
Pat:

Thanks!
blk: Who knew?!
tumbler: I prefer Z5 on dark colors as I find its a bit deeper looking. The Z8 was just for touch-ups, but I did do the whole vehicle before taking pictures.
I tried Optimum with no luck

. Like I said, BMW paint is finicky.

Hi Sean,
You’re welcome. You did an amazing job. My sister and parents were amazed at the transformation. The Autopia pictures/forum are really neat.
Thanks again for everything."
AJ: Please keep us posted.
