    Wiper Fluid?

    yes it's fine. BMW is the most provincial company when it comes to fluids. They have some other company make their fluids then put them in BMW branded bottles and sell it for 4 times the cost. It's windsheild washer fluid, buy whatever is reasonable. I use the Rain X stuff and my BMW's have...

    Sorry if this as been answered before, but on a Flex 3401: Are the DA discs better to use or the Rotary pads? The 3401 has forced rotation like a rotary but is a DA in it's motion. Does anyone have experience with this?

    How to remove Chemical Smell

    I've tried both the Megs stuff and Chemical Guys, and all they did was smell real nice for about 24-48 hours and then it goes away. I guess I'll try and scrub the carpets and see what that does.

    Does it really smell like strippers? I think driving a stick might take on a whole different meaning.
