    With winter fast approaching and already here for some I'm looking to put a "winter" wax or sealant on the autos. I'm debating between megs #16 or 1z Glanz Wax.

    Neglected BMW E36 M3 leather

    My wife got a E36 (1997) M3. I looked at it and decided it would be a good buy, the paint was a 5/10 but I new I could correct it to a 8.5-9 with a few hours of work. The interior on the other hand is a worse. The dash and all is great but the headliner adhesive is a failing, again no biggie. I...
