Zaino Z-5(pictures!)

I must be a picky SOB. Yes tort they were like that, but they were deeper. Not like on the surface, looks like someone with a wool cutting pad did something to it. I mean I could catch finger nail in certain spots.



Must of been me, gonna hang up my PC for now.



fskof, I seem to prefer Z for some reason, gave it that bright sparkle. Klasse/Souveran has its place, but on certain cars I like Z more.

Looks great, Jason. Hopefully you haven't run into a car with swirls too deep to remove completely. Very reflective finish!



Those wheels-all I can say is whoever at BMW approved that design (and the even worse design on the 7 series cars) should have to show up a every BMW owner's house every week and clean them personally.



Minor rant: I cannot for the life of me, phathom why a car company who charges as much for their cars as BMW would not only have sold cars with such PITA wheels to clean, but also have brake pads that turn the wheels black in 2 days. My first mod to any BMW (or Mercedes) would be ceramic brake pads.



I feel better now!

I couldn't agree more. The rims on the current 330I are a major PITA to clean as well and they cake up with brake dust like crazy. It takes just about as long to clean the rims as it does the rest of the car. I'm not crazy about the way they look either. I've really got to look into getting those ceramic pads you keep mentioning.

@Scottwax



Two days is good, mine are getting dirty after a few hours driving after washing the car :D



@Intermezzo



I feel your pain, those are the notorious Style 73s. I have the multi-spoke 32s, they are also not easy to clean and PITA to keep brake-dust-free (almost impossible)



*sigh* Every rose has its thorn :)

haha. a friend of mine at work was looking at a previous generation m5. it has those same bbs style wheels, i told him that he'd spend about half his life constantly cleaning those damn things. luckily, the wheels on my m3 are quite a bit easier to clean than those older ones or even the 330 wheels. which is good when the black dust pixies from bavaria visit my wheels only a day after a wash.
