Glad you liked the plate! I try and get a laugh out of people. I did 100% of the work myself.

Light cleaning here and there takes no more then 5 minutes and keeps the car looking clean at all times

Would love to wet sand the car and buff it out. Looks amazing.

It's usually too time consuming for me to keep it constantly clean.

Seeing that o-peel detail shot pisses me off, BMW and their eco paints...

This thread has been a long time coming and I've delayed it a bunch of times. Glad to get this out to everyone.

Logged in just to comment. Beautiful work. Makes me feel guilty for letting a nice weekend go by without giving the M a bath.
