Someone should bring a booster for the battery. Just in case some people have voltage issues.

Also, turn off bluetooth when using GT1. It apparently sucks up enough juice to drop voltage on a turned off car.

Good points. I'll bring my charger that has a PS mode too. Hopefully, there's enough juice to connect two devices on the power supply we're using.

Otherwise, might have to save it for after Bimmerfest.

OK...South Side peeps...ill will see you guys near MD at THOmas Edison Service Area.....at 945am..to meet other xoutpost members....

Suh-Weet!!!! I can bring my Snap-On hub puller to get the hub off the axle. I don't know if anyone needs it.

Already started prepping the car for bimmerfest!!!

Washed the X today, Sonax FFX on the wheels, Iron Cut, Clay, and paint correction with UC on half the X.

Not going to lie; A. I need to get a orbital. Claying the X sucked. When I get the DA I am going use the Nano Skin instead of the clay. B. It will be easier to do paint correction using a DA and also a glaze.

So tomorrow, my plan is to finish up the paint correction with UC, then polish with Klasse AIO, and then Glaze with Klasse SG and then seal all that in with some Gold Class Wax.

Friday, I am going to pull the wheels off and clean those, use 3m General Purpose Adhesive remover to get the left over sticker crap from the old lead weights. Hit them with a coat of wax. Use Tarminator on the tires to get them black and hit them with some tire black. Vacuum the inside and condition the leather.

Oi, typing all this out, I got a lot of crap to do. lol. I want my whip to look sweet!!!

I'm taking pics along the way and will spell it all out Friday.

hhahah...ive been preppin for 1 week now...lol....i did all the meguiars steps.......Clay,compound,swirl free,cut,carnuba,liquid was...then seal...

Looks like my GF has to work at her BMW dealership in the morning. She'll probably come down later in the 135i. I'm going to try and make it by 10. we're gonna nail down the details over the next two days and I'll post here of any changes.
The poor X5 is hammered with bug guts from our recent trips to Columbus Ohio. We can barely see out of the the windsheild. The bug guts are like expoxy on the paint and I haven't figured out an easy way to get them off.. GF is gonna have the dealership detail it for us... that will save me a lot of work :thumbup:

1Z Einzett Anti-Insekt does a great job. Use it everytime.
