Like the way you take us through the single steps, fantastic turnaround of Alex' amazing and "abused" M5. Honestly: That car needs its stickers back! :D Glossboss Wheeldetailer: These stands are NOT for sale - so please don't contact my detailing friends from Glossboss or me in this case ;) I build these for a couple of friends to improve my (still bad) welding works - and to simplify their / my detailing hobby. Maybe i'll write a blog how you could easily build one at home. First version was made of wood with 3 rollers, watch the my Porsche green Audi S6 in the Blog. Larry and Jim (White Details, UK) got one of those as a little "thank you" for these great videos and time they offer to create them.

Using an ODBII Memory saver you can disconnect the battery terminal, and work around the electronics with a little more peace of mind. The memory saver retains the on board computer memory. 3. Use detailing detailing gel inside the vents, cracks and hard to reach areas; especially around the electronics All that being said, I absolutely love your content and delivery!
