  1. UPDATE: After researching on AutoGeek and a couple of other sites it would seem that the Collinite #845 Insulator Wax is a really good wax for us folks in the Snow Belt. I purchased a 16 0z. bottle form ebay for $16 with free shipping. According to what I read it has been around for ages and pro shops of been using it forever. Now on to find a cleaner/polish.

    I'll check that wax out. good work on the research!

    Other waxes I've had good luck with are P21s and Zymol as some higher priced options that last a long time. Otherwise good old Gliptone stays around for awhile. I usually wash, clay bar, light cut, buff, paint seal (Teflon), then wax which has been Zymol lately. Then just spray wax the car on a regular basis if it's just dusty to maintain the wax. If it's really dirty I'll wash it but try not to do that. Then wax it again on a monthly basis.

    I might be anal...

    Dan is loser head until he shows as well

    Thanks for the link. I need all the help I can get with these computers and interwebs.

    Sept. 5 has my name all over it! Set the calendar up for the reminder.

  3. Was that me? 18's and the brewer plate? I drive way too much when it's not in the shop. I'm getting twitchy not driving it for more than a week.

    I jump on to the freeway after work, and what do I see? A pristine white E30 M3. I was like, AWWWWWWWWWWW YEEEEEEEAAAA! I was stoked. It was so awesome, like a double rainbow, or cats.

  4. So I decided to make a thread where everyone around Mtown can discuss things going on here or make a meet or whatevs. Make sure to read the last post to see whats going on!

    Il start with theres an AutoX event this weekend at Miller park. For those who dont know its like 45 bucks to race. I plan on being there. Who else is in?

    I'll be out of town again...packing all the activities I can into the last bit of summer.

    Do you know how many AutoX events are left for the year? I should be getting the M3 back from the shop this week.

  5. The metal mount for the swaybar broke off of the strut on the drivers side. Damn Milwaukee potholes. I try to avoid them best I can but they jump out of nowhere sometimes! Has this malfunction happened to anybody else? I've never heard of it before so, of course, I have to be the first. This is why I don't buy lottery tickets.

  6. car looks great, as per usual. i would have given you the trophy for the plate, too!

    I think I won it because is was Africa hot and nobody was selling beer. How great it is when the stars align. It was good to see you at Brew City. I have to get some headlights!

    oh shit, me an celena were there, didnt see you though. also didnt know who to look for! ^^

    I was the weirdo who was taking pictures of people looking at my car! It was a good time and I'm definitely going next year.

  7. Dr. Leadfoot Ill be heading that way. I just have a party to cater and I'm delivering food at 10am and then I'm free.

    yeah we should caravan. milwaukee - mequon to get miko - then to the get together.

    yea perfect I'm on the north side of Milwaukee. takes like 5-10 minutes to get to mequon woot

    Hopefully I can make it to this one...would be willing to caravan up with the milw people.
