To expand on what i said before, i don't think the speaker placements suit critical listening in a car. Anything is possible with enough money though.

i haven't used 205, so not really sure how abrasive it is. but if you have hazing/holograms, you def need something stronger than a finishing polish. the only real defects in mine were from my...

Military guys sure do love their BMW's. (this one was brought back from Rota, Spain by a Navy guy)
