    LOVE having a heated hanger to wash the car in when it's 2F outside.

    That looks great. One day I'll have to get schooled on how to do the exterior that well.

    I got so motivated last night that I removed my front seats to clean my interior.

    According to TopGear, all the cocks are now driving Audis. You missed the boat.

    Now get a new bumper so you don't have the license plate holes. Or you can get one of those hipster German plates to put on there.

    Two bucket wash, with grit guard. Use a pressure washer that lets you use soap to spray suds on the car. If it's been a while since you have worked on it, http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0012ZEZ8A/ref=oh_o06_s00_i00_details with http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O7PNNM/ref=oh_o06_s00_i01_details . A in hose water filter will prevent water spots and wash/dry out of the sun. http://www.autopia.org/forum/forum.php is a good place to start for more details on... detailing. Hmm, I've started the practice of detailing cars since I got the Bimmer. Zep aircraft cleaner does wonders for wheels/engine compartment. Be sure after you wash the engine compartment to put a lubricant on the hoses and belts so they don't dry out. A friend of mine taught me to use Armorall on the engine compartment. Keep everything from drying and makes your engine compartment look fantastic!

    I have seen screw covers used to cover the holes, but I will have to see how they look.
