Hey everybody, I just did a mini detail and here is what I used: Adams car wash, Adams polish, Adams clay bar, Adams wax. The car is a 2007 530i SMG sport sapphire black with Auburn interior. I have added the full mtech kit, replaced the rear diffuser for an ACS rear custom, quad diffuser, ACS front splitters for the mtech kit, reiger rear diffuser, 20 inch miro time attacks staggered, rolled fenders, NO spacers and stock sports suspension. Angelibrights 1.0, LCI tail lamps, 50 % front windshield tint, 5% side and rear tint. Custom magnaflow quad exhaust with removal of middle resonator and 4 resonated tips in the rear.

Mods to come are HID fog lights, m5 side grills, ksport coilovers, spacers, m5 replica mirrors, powdercoat brake calipers, replace rotors and brake pads. The good thing is that i have already purchased most of these items and just need to install them now.Just washed the car-photo-10.jpgJust washed the car-photo-11.jpgJust washed the car-photo-12.jpgJust washed the car-photo-13.jpgJust washed the car-photo-14.jpgJust washed the car-photo-15.jpgJust washed the car-photo-16.jpgJust washed the car-photo-17.jpgJust washed the car-photo-18.jpgJust washed the car-photo-19.jpgJust washed the car-photo-20.jpgJust washed the car-photo-21.jpgJust washed the car-photo-22.jpgJust washed the car-photo-23.jpgJust washed the car-photo-24.jpg

Looks good! Hope it's not a cop-magnet, just wanting to be pulled over for the dark tint!

Looks great! I just started using Adam's products myself. I really like the detail spray.

Don't know how it is in Texas but in California, I got 2 tickets withing 2 month period for having dark tinted windows and no front license plate, 25% all around. Just had my front redone to 35% last week.

BTW, don't now how it is in Houston but seems like around where I live, it's those damn CHP are the ones giving out tickets for tinted windows.


Long time ago, I even got pulled over by a CHP on 101 at 5 AM. The guy drove past me, slowed down and waited until I catch up then pulled me over for it. I was like WTH, don't you have better things to do.

Like your car but not your camera. C'mon, splurge $150 for a decent point and shoot at least!
