    Hey guys. A few notes to avoid repeated constructive criticism:

    1. Yes, Phil told me the tire foam is not for the tires, but actually for the wheel wells. How embarassing. :sorry:
    2. Yes, Phil reminded me to apply wax/sealant in back and forth maneuvers and not in circular motions.
    3. That's it! Criticize away :thumb:

    NXT wash is very harsh to strip off the wax:

    EXCELLENT WORK!!! In regards to applying the sealants and the waxes, I personally sometimes do it back and forth and sometimes in circular motions. Never really noticed a difference, so you're probably OK.

    I saw that you're using the same Lowe's "foam gun" that I have, that thing is the best. Have had it for more than a year now and that thing is a beast, it's unbreakable. Best $10 I ever spent.

    Beautiful 3-series by the way, love the non-metallic black paint...

    Yessir! Thanks a lot man! I've heard about you ;)

    Haha yeah it has been with me since I was 4.

    :worship2:

    Me too! Always classic.

    Pho sho! Thanks a lot sir!

    Thank you!

    Ah thanks for that advice. I will try back and forth next time to see if it changes anything. Yeah the Lowe's gun is good. What is even better is that they sell the exact model at Brookstone for $25. Same exact thing except it is blue.

    Check out their Foam 'n Spray Car Wash Nozzle

    Thanks a lot admin sir! :D

    Spoiler is OEM CF Trunk Spoiler
    Kit is OEM Mtechnik
