Helped my son with a full cleanup, claybar, trim dying, paint correction and then full Gtechniq ceramic coating on the summer wheels and all vehicle surfaces...

Looks pretty good. What rotary polisher are you using?

Hey Blue,
He uses a Rupes LHR15 Mark III: https://www.rupes.com/news/new-rupes-lhr-mark-iii/

Yesterday wash and then decided to use the F-11 I just bought. Cleaner and sealer. Must say it looks pretty good.

Left it parked on the street for two weeks. I’m probably going to go for a 30 min drive, maybe get some gas to keep it around 3/4 full. How often are you guys moving your cars during this pandemic?

My wife left her 2002 e53 4.4 outside for 3 weeks, and the battery was low enough it wouldn’t start. A slow charge for a couple hours and it started right up. I thing the alarm system drained the battery.

Every 4 or 5 days here. Though the diesel has been in the garage on stands for the past month. That first start should be fun.

Start and drive to NOT once a week. Fill with diesel at 3/4 tank. On a battery tender in the garage otherwise.

Installed the Curt Hitch and 7-pin connector. Took about 3 hours start to finish (including cleaning up afterwards). I think the wiring took about 1/2 the time.

Ran after 2 weeks on the street. Took it to my parents to see why my brother's e91 is misfiring and my mom's e46 is overheating

Update if anyone cares to know:

-e91 had oil in the spark plug hole in cylinder 4 and it was misfiring. I switched the coil pack out and misfire is gone but going to need to replace some seals to get rid of some leaks and seepage

-e46 radiator drain plug wasn’t installed correctly so lost a lot of coolant and the engine got hot. I reinstalled the plug and put in distilled water for now
