So this is my first time posting some pics of my car. I always seem to forget to take pics when i'm cleaning. I didn't take that many right now, but i'll be sure to take it out somewhere soon and gets some fresh pics.

Wash: Eimann Fabrik gentle shampoo (love this stuff, very little goes a LONG way)
Wheels: Pooboy's Spray and Rinse, topped off with some Wheel Wax
Tires: 303 Aerospace

Wax: Started Klasse AIO (personal favorite), wiped downed with some FK1 #425, then topped with FK1 #2180

Klasse AIO is probably my favorite product of all time. It's so easy to use, apply to whole car then wipe off, couldn't be easier.

Posted Image

Cleaned up the interior with Autoglym Interior Shampoo, then topped it off with 303 on the vinyl/plastic. Klasse AIO to polish the wood, and some Meguiar's leather cleaner/conditoner.

Was going to top it with some Pink Wax, but.....

All gone. Going to need to reup soon.

It wouldn't let me post that many pics at once, but I have to represent that Hofmeister Kink.

Thanks!

Yea, I initially wanted a black or darker colored car, but after having a black Integra and a black cherry pearl FJ Cruiser, I didn't want to have to keep up the paint on it 24/7. Black just shows EVERY LITTLE flaw, it drives me crazy. I have quite a few little rock chips on the front end, but no one notices them because of the silver (no one except me :lol:

Thanks for the compliments guys.

@TexaZ3: I'll agree that nothing looks better than a cleaned up black BMW, especially like that 6er you got in your sig. But you gotta agree, black cars in this texas 100*+ heat is like getting into a dry sauna :thumbsdown:

The car getting hot during summer time doesn't bother me, but every damn imperfection does. TexaZ3, what was it with your silver cars?
