Hi forum members,
I detailed both our family cars with Swissvax Shield Wax in June. Now they have both been washed around 4-5 times since waxing. Today they were both quite clean so I decided to make some photos...
Best regards from Finland,
Jukka

Very nice!
I don't understand why BMW doesn't bring the 1 Series 5 door into the US. I think it would do well these days with the higher gas prices. They can't keep the 128 & 135 coupes in stock even with their price close to the 3.

just some quick facts.
when gas prices were over $4/gallon - people were jumping to buy compact/economy car.
as price dropped 20cents to about 3.80$ all of the sudden people were shifting from eco-cars to normal car. amazing how 20cents makes such difference. There was a huge article in USA Today regarding this last week. I was like wow! why do we not learn from our mistakes.
The SuV and Luxury car market tanked in USA. A 3 year old car is going for 50% off original price.
whereas it used to be 4 year mark when it hit 50% depreciation. :-(
I want to see how diesel does in USA. With diesel prices at about 5$/gallon. it's going to be a tough call.
