Hey guys --

Haven't posted here in a while, just a quick update:

Sold my E53 in 2014, got an M Sport F25, sold the F25 18 months later for an F80 M3

Realized the F80 M3 will not do well in the winter--very quickly, so i'm back to the First Gen BMW SUV Game with an E83 M Sport Facelift (2007 X3 3.0si) purchased from a BMW CCA member, great condition (Besides the paint)

So i spent a full day correcting the paint, it came out BEAUTIFULLY. But now, after just 4-5 hand washes (by yours truly) with very careful drying techniques, i'm marred up!!!

I've heard JB is soft, but holy hell, this is ridiculous. And TBH, when it gets to be below 30 degrees, i can't see myself doing handwashes, so inevitably the X3 will end up at a "hand car wash" which although isnt great, is 10000% better than an auto wash.

So what do i do here? Anything I can do? Should I put Opti-Coat on? will it make the paint "stronger".

PS, My M3 does not mar up anywhere as bad as this X3... I'm pissed

Some photos for your viewing pleasure
