Will do. I'm throwing new pads, rotors, and calipers on the GS-R tonight. If I have enough time, i'll wash, clay, wash touch up paint the M3. If not, it'll happen tomorrow.

Sometime in there, weather pending, we should do a night shoot of your car. I bet it looks great under that kind of lighting.

Yeah man. It's got a brake pulsation issue coming largely from the rear. I put brand new pads and rotors on like 6 months ago (original rotors had 198K on them when I yanked them

) and something isn't right with them. Rotors are Brembos, and somehow I let my brother talk me into ceramic pads. I tried the bedding procedure twice, which made it a little better. But i'm done screwing around with it. He's replacing the rotors and pads with OEM stuff under warranty and i'm just throwing all new calipers on while i'm at it, in case I have a sticky one. At 212K, they deserve it.

Anyways, moving back to M-land, the clutch pedal feels great. Though I got lighter pedal effort out of the deal, which i'm not terribly happy about. It's too light to begin with. Slop is gone though. Next up, touch up. I'm excited to give the car a detail.

Yeah man...CMT recommended that to me last season...when it was $83.

I've got some pure carnuba paste that was donated to me by an M3F member that owns a company that imports high end wax from the UK. It's just a sample, but i'm going to see how that fairs on the car when it's done. It's specifically for deep and dark colored cars and supposed to do well on reds.

After that, who knows.

What are you using on yours?

Souveran is too rich for my blood - P21s does the trick fine for me!

CMT is where I initially heard about Pinnacle Souveran. Looking back at his post from 2006, he said it was $50.....wish I would've bought some back then.
I really haven't put a lot of love into detailing my paint, but the car spends a lot of time in the garage. Ed detailed it about a year ago and finished with s100 wax. It's due for another go.
