I haven't been alive 27 years lol. The secret is to have her help you, while she is doing the work keep giving her compliments on the work she is doing. I always say " I don't know how you do it but you are doing a great job."

I used Chemical Guys APC http://www.detailedimage.com/Chemica...180/128-oz-S2/ mixes with car wash soap. ( make sure you wear gloves) after that a thorough rinse and then we polished with Turtle Wax chrome polish.

I'm still getting rid of it. It's just that the lease doesn't end until the 20th. I'm in Georgia by the way. I just have Florida plates.

All you need is Florida insurance and a Florida adress for them to put in the system when you go to the DMV. You have your mailing address to what ever you want but long as you have a Florida adress to give them your fine. Or maybe because i'm in the military I can register what ever state I please (because we travel). It's easy to do.

car is clean.. I still find it very hard to dry my M5 without water spots.. I've tried, MF towels, waffle weave towels, and a leaf blower. I can't seem to dry it fast enough before spots develop. I think i just have really hard water where I live.
