Looks good, but I didn’t think your car was actually dirty to begin with.

If you’re willing to devote 6 hours of your life to wash it after a rain shower and some pollen, how do you feel after going off-road? I ask because your car looks setup to do trails pretty well.

Just checked your previous post to find what this was, and damn, that’s got to be one of the best and most purposeful looking X5s I’ve ever seen.

Looking great. I hope you used a good sealant to help keep her like that.

That colour looks quite similar to mine. Small amount of flake in the paint that looks quite solid in low light but really stands out in the sun.

For the wheels, find a nice sheltered area from the sun, a couple of beers, plenty of tar and glue remover and fallout remover and have at it fella.

The wheels are easy, after i had them powder coated i put sealant on them, 3 coats!! I just use some soap and everything falls off!!!

I do this now so its easier after the trails. The mud falls off after. But i do spend a good ammount of time after pressure washing the underneath and a good wash up top.

Cool! To be fair, I usually assume a car is manual, since I’m in Europe, but I can imagine it’s not easy to get ahold of in the US.
