upon seeing the worn out cloth & bucket at the trunk....I spent another 30 minutes walking thru (the whole process of paint correction & after care) with the car carer................

given him for a start

ONR - weekly wash
OCW - monthly wax
OPC - all purpose cleaner - esp water rain marks, tars, insect saps & interior cleaning,

lastly Opti clean for quick interior detail ..on the dark leathers

EMPOWERING him to maintain his master's ride

What the hell is that goop on those cars? I had an 07' Mini Cooper S and after a while, I had this "goop" coming out from around the rear wiper, weird!

Great work on the car, I like how its got factory eyelids, very cool!

Cosmoline. They spray this stuff on new cars to prevent rust for those trips across the ocean. For some reason I've seen it mostly on BMW's, but not on other cars. Are other cars shipped across different oceans?

[Porsche Pilot]

Porsche uses Cosmoline on the 911's. When it starts to burn off there isa distinctive smell. We call it Porsche perfume.

The front end of that BMW looks aggressive!! BA!
