Bmw being built

**JonB** · 02-10-2002, 12:02 AM

I just put down a couple of layers of H&C Concrete Stain (water soluble) on the driveway. I let it dry for three days and moved the cars back onto the drive. Now there are tire tracks that seem to be embedded in the stain. The guy at Sherwin Williams said to use the water soluble stain if it had already been painted, the xylene based stuff is only for bare concrete. From what I have read up on, the xylene base stain is better for exterior use. Could this be why I now have tire tracks????

I`d say that you got the correct info on overcoating previous surfaces. However, I never liked the water-based H&C and preferred a high quality, high gloss dark gray alkyd enamel for repaints. (Save some for touch-ups.) Cleans up easy, doesn`t show dirt, and is durable. However, it`s slick as hell when when wet (don`t run on it wearing wet shoes -- and don`t try to stop short when driving in from the rain).

my neighbor has a blacktop driveway, and told/showed me that meguiar`s "EXTRA!" cleaner actually took the black off his driveway...... blacktop turned white!! :scared

I accidentally came across a solution for the tire tracks. EF Hi Intensity and a little bit of brushing got most of the black off!! I will be ordering a gallon today..... Love it for the wheels too.

Absolutely! The EF Hi Intensity is pretty darn good stuff.

Fantastic educational tool on how BMW is being built.. I was amazed to learn the painting process is wet on wet and in no time is dry. There is something to learn every day!

IS it spam?

Why would sharing information on the manufacturing of a BMW from beginning to delivery constitute SPAM...?

Ignore it if it is of no interest to you or have something more interesting to share with us.

I found that interesting myself ,thanks Automania :smile:

**Puckman** · 12-29-2010, 01:08 AM

I also found it interesting! Thanks for sharing it with us.

I visited the BMW Spartanburg facility a few years ago and it was fascinating. Unfortunately the plant was closed to tours but they have the BMW Centrum museum that was amazing. If you`re ever in that area it`s a great take whether you`re a BMW fan or not.

I appologize if I stepped on your toes with the Spam comment. I just clicked on the link and seen Martha Stewart stuff on a autoblog page. From a person that only had 7 comments since July. Usually those are signs of random spam post. Once again. I did not mean to offend your post. thanks for sharing this with us.

Tru-Shine... Apology accepted...

I do not post often...because I am extremely busy. I do however like to share things that interest me and hope that readers will also enjoy.

I cannot tell you how many times I have to explain to clients they do not have 20 coats of paint on their vehicle or explain the process of how their vehicle was painted. This video helps explain the process a lot easier.
