First up the A4. It's my wife's and she was leaving for the beach for 2 weeks so I thought I would wash and wax her car and vacuum her interior so I can keep her honest on how dirty she gets the car on her vacation :bigups No, seriously, every time Audi does ANYTHING to her car, they wash it even though they have me on file for no car wash. It's a cloister wash, but it still it introduces swirls. I haven't had time to repolish her car so a dollup of Natty's Blue keeps them at bay until I have time. Anyway, here's the process and pics:

The X5 looks good, not to sure if I'm feeling the color, though. The A4 looks great, especially considering it wasn't polished. Nice work.

Thanks. Again, for the A4 I had the camera on Basic and the pictures didn't come out super clear. It did come out nice though. I swear that Natty's is magical.



The X5 is a very nice SUV. The color doesn't stick out, but it is very elegant. Not to mention, it does have some flake in it which does pop in the right light. It has grown on me. I think its neutrality is what I like in it. However, I would never pick that color for myself....unless the price was super right. :chuckle:
 
Funny thing was I delivered the X5 back to the owner b/c I was to pick up his Cherokee. WHen I get to his house, the Cherokee wasn't there, and it started pouring. Now I wasn't about to drive back home in the rain, but I wasn't really stuck either. I called a couple of friends, then a cab, and finally as I waited for the cab, the owner shows up....with the Cherokee. He didn't think I'd be done with it until Monday. Oh well, we shared a laugh and then I took off in my next job.
 
Yeah, I agree, the X5's are nice, my dad has one, and it feels very confident and agile, especially for an SUV. He bought an used 02' last year and the thing looks great(hardly any swirls, and I never even got around to polishing it yet!), not to mention it's very reliable. Very high quality SUV, and the last of the remaining non-bangled BMW's. Yeah, I have been itching to get my hands on some Natty's Blue, but I guess I'll just order it when I have more stuff to buy. Once again, nice work.
