New pics of a clean X5 and CEO

These are some pics I took of the 4.6is today. Since NCX made me look bad yesterday...I had to zaino the X5.. I used Zaino claybar and Z2 on this 4.6is and let it sit a few hours before I took the Z2 off. What a difference.
Also included a pic of my neighbor doing it the old fasion way...I also had some pics of the CEO and jr. CEO who says hi and wished she could have made it yesterday. Notice she is sporting the one of the door prizes from yesterday...

Man, that looks terrific! Now I'll have to go get the clay back out and re-do mine next weekend.

Tell the CEO hi and congrats on her accomplishment

Oh..she does not clean the X5. She has a hard enough time keeping the Honda Odessey clean. It is about to get detailed...and perhaps sold. She wants a Honda Pilot or Acura MDX. I know its not the same as a BMW...but she is not into the bimmer thing like I am. I even offered to get her an X3 or X5...she says no...

I am trying to get my neighbor on here. He is into his X5 as much as I am. Most of the mods I have done, he has done too. He is not into the computer thing as much as me. He has a 05 4.4i with the style 87s. I have installed the aluminium pedals and instrument cluster rings on his X5. His X5 is really an awesome car and it does quite well against my 4.6is. I am amazed at how well it keeps up..

He used the eagle one wax and an orbital buffer as seen in the picture. I clayed mine in the morning...put the coat of Z2 on it ...waited 3 hours and mine was done before he finished...we started almost at the same time.

Trust me, I know what you mean. An MDX is in our very near future as my wife's next vehicle. After driving a minivan since 1992, she's ready for a change, but we need the 3rd row seating.
