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!
 
First up is this:



199x Mitsu Galant (never been waxed or polished, outdside 24/7)

Then this 1999 Mustang on it's third teenaged owner.

I only have an exterior on a 2008 Audi A4 and then I using the rest of the weekend to get some long over due yard work done. :dig
 
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...

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.
 
Going to get an early start, around 2:30 or 3pm today on my car. 2000 Ford Focus (silver), full paint correction and full interior (shampoo/the works). Working on the A/C on that car also with some other minor stuff....



thinking x3 coats of Wolfgang Deep Gloss 3.0 and x2 coats of Fuzion....maybe I'll paint the break callipers Silver or Black also, I'll probably paint the wheel wells also...Lots of stuff to do on the long weekend!
 
first time washing my new ride, it's amazing what a crappy wax the dealer used, it left white reside in all the cracks etc. i went to the Z-AIO and then Z-6, man it really popped! tomorrow will be the Z5 and Z2 :D
