Car still has a great shine, just wiped it down w a microfiber to dust it off last night.

This is outside my office, strategically parked to minimize possible door dings.



Damnit people, stop posting drop dead gorgeous pics of your Montego Blue E92 when I am waiting for mine .

Seeing your pics makes me with envy.

But good job, it looks incredible.

I usually don't like Montego Blue, but I really like the way your car looks. Nice mods too! Very nicely done.

Here it is next to the 1st new M3 I've seen on the roads. This was last night at a BMW social event here in Columbia, MD.

Your car looks great! I also have Montego Blue, and am waiting to detail mine for the first time after the Flex arrives. Hope mine turns out as well as yours

As for quick detailers, +1 on meguiar's Ultimate Quik Detailer (UQD). It's new, just hitting the stores, and is getting some great reviews. In fact, a gallon of UQD is arriving by UPS today for me to try. By the videos I've seen, it has crazy hydrophobic properties.

any other suggestions?
