Thanks again for all of the kind comments. I see this car periodically and am happy to say it's still in very good shape. There are some swirls, but it's better than 95% of what else is on the road. There is such great satisfaction in seeing the owner take care of the car after you get it...

I'll jump in. Here's the whole write up: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/show-n-shine/33599-lessons-i-learned-black-2009-bmw-550i.html Terrible black paint: Some 50/50's Finished car on a cloudy day

:iagree: ...like my neighbor buffing on the BMW! You'll do great!:dblthumb2:

:laughing: Bill, my buddy, do me a favor and print out your quote and put it were you can see it every time you buff out a car. The day you REALLY understand why I'd suggest that, you will be ready to consider starting your detailing business. Thank you very much for the kind words! It's...

I'm in Lexington Downs; just past the spillway in T-Town!!!!! ...and prefer the orange & blue as well! Let me know anytime you want some help, advice, or try out something I have in my collection. I've been addicted for a couple of years now.

Nice to hear you're loving the A5. Here's a bit of news I learned the hard way recently. When you see all that brake dust on your front wheels (you'll grow to hate that part, sorry.), it's not just from the pads. Apparently, the brakes are designed so that the rotors wear at about the same...

Welcome!!! What part of Bama?

An Auburn fan and now an Audi owner...A5 at that...You're after my heart! The car: Unless there are a lot of them on the road up there, you will get comments and stares ALL the time. My A5 is over two years old, 34,000 miles, and just today I had a guy tell me he loved it. The running lights...

Let me know how you like the Dodo; I've got some Supernatural (I call it the Dodo Deodorant because it's in a deodorant container and knowing PJ from Dodo Juice, I think he would just laugh at me calling it that :xyxthumbs:) that I like, but I'm lazy enough that anymore a paste wax has to be...

At least it's your mind that's going first!! :props: Hope you have a great day!

Got the oil changed today. The plug couldn't hold on against an open-end wrench and rubber mallet! What drained out looked as bad as the grungy coating I washed off. So now it's in good shape inside and out. Moving on to those blades...

:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing: ...and thus you should understand why I said to keep your pad clean and your section size small!!!! Had I done that, it would have gone faster. Also keep in mind you'll be using a Flex instead of a PC; that will make a...

:iagree: I love my Speed Brush. I don't know how anyone with intricate wheels and German brake dust gets by without one. Yes, you'll get splattered if you're not careful, but that's a small price to pay in my opinion!

Here are some threads about wash mitts: http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/products-guides/35666-wash-mitts.html http://www.autogeekonline.net/forum/ask-expert-featuring-mike-phillips/35362-back-basics.html...

I have a 2010 A5 that was probably produced on the same line as your S5 (yes, I envy your engine!). Although mine is deep sea blue metallic and there could be some minor differences in paint, maybe my experience will be helpful in addition to everybody else's posts. I use the PC 7424XP with...

:thankyousign: It's pretty sad that I'd rather detail the mower than use it. Isn't that strange...:dunno:

:welcome: Hey James, nice to see the whales let you through :dblthumb2: It was nice chatting with you Sunday! Maybe you can make a personal visit some day!

I hate any non-furry crawly thing that's fast - spiders, roaches, anything. Mice are fine, but crickets are nasty. However, I don't really consider that a phobia, only because I've developed some claustrophobic tendencies over the years, and that gives me a reference point. I hate bugs, but...
