Help: It's too clean to drive
Greetings..

So a friend came over this weekend and spent 12 hrs on Sat and Sun detailing the X. It doesn't look new, it looks better than new. Now I don't want to drive it because it might just get dirty...

2004 26k miles.

That X5 sure looks clean! Wish mine could look that good. Oh, and I found the greatest story of people who wanted to keep a friend's S4 clean with blue tape on a trip. They even write on it! You have GOT to check it out. Sorry for the off topic, but had to share.

Seth! You were holding back on us! Why didn't you didn't bring your gorgeous 4.8is to Westfest instead of your beater? :p :p

Yeah! So some people DO use painters tape! If you ask me that's a great idea. Better than spending the time to clean any wax off the black trim.

Looks fantastic!
