Mine will be my new `09 BMW 335 M-Sport that I picked up yesterday after 44 days of waiting, it`s Black Sapphire Metallic :woot2: - my dealer decided to give a couple of free buffer marks, very minor but still a hassle.



I`m going with the whole Zaino process. Dawn wash to remove their junk wax they applied that has a white residue -Z18, Z7, ZAIO, Z2, Z5,Z6 and Z8 - not in that order of course ;)



Any other advice is greatly appreciated!

The good news is that BMW black won`t just be a Memorial day project--it`s a year round one! I used to have a 335i E92 coupe (Alpine White, though). Great cars. Yours is a sharp one. Have fun!

I still have to detail my 99 M3 which I`ve had since last August! Hopefully next weekend (not tomorrow) I`ll take off and do my car perfectly right.

Although the Mustang is in desperate need of a thorough detail, it is not a vehicle but rather my garage that I will be working on this weekend. I have been working for a couple of months now cleaning and refurbishing the garage to make it a more hospitable place to hang out, work on the vehicles and get away from the wife and kids ;)



I plan on hanging an air hose reel this weekend and building some shelves in a nook where the compressor lives...

After (I have gotten a bit further since this picture was taken)

Another project that will probably be the following weekend is a little work on my 15 year old Craftsman rolling toolbox combo. You can make it out in the back of the "After" picture above. I ordered some red and black paint to respray some ares that are in some desperate need of attention. The box is overflowing as I have collected tools over the years and I am ordering a new version of the same combo so I wanted to get this one looking as good as the new one...

The Mustang really needs a thorough detail but I think I am likely going to work on the garage instead. I need to mount an air hose reel and build some shelves in the nook where the compressor lives.



I am also in the process of refurbishing my 15 year old Craftsman tool chest. Ordered some paint from Waterloo Industries which is the manufacturer of many of Sears toolboxes.
