    Hey now, no need to rub it in, but yes we have been having VERY HOT weather in the North East. Nice write up Phil, when was this though as I noticed the clothes too.

    great work, Phil! I have the same E70 X5 (mine is 2009) and absolutely adore it. Love those wide tires with big rims (275/40-20 front, and 315-/35-20 rear). And BTW, this yellow sticker is telling you that tire pressure is up to 100 MPH only, and if driving above 100 MPH, tires should be inflated differently.

    Nice work Phil! I know it's from 2009, but it looks cold outside. In what temperatures are you boys washing cars? Hopefully nice and warm inside though...

    Nice work! Funny how when its 40 degrees you pray for summer and now when your out in 95 degree heat you hope for colder temps.... I at least do

    Emile Welcome to Detailing

    You know this is an old detail because Dan used P21S Gel to clean the wheels, before Phil was carrying the Sonax Wheel Cleaner. Also because Dan is dressed for cold weather which means it was done sometime during the winter.
