Z3 day

I keep dropping hints that I want to be a granddad before I get too old
 
A re trimmed steering wheel :cool:
Not be here for fathers day though.
What are you hoping for @Sean d ?

I picked up some good tips from Andy,bought a lambs wool wash mit to replace the sponge and a new bucket with a grit guard :).

Due a new watch, so picked a few and hopefully one will turn up. Of course it would be nice if it was attached to a remap, full stainless steel exhaust, bushes, shocks and Springs but I'm thinking probably just a watch :)
 
A pair of nomex boots, just in case:whistle:. And daughters cooking brunch, whatever that is.

What does a bucket with a grit guard look like?
 
Its a bucket with a raised grid so the grit can fall through and you don't sit you sponge in it :thumbsup:
 
I know you know what you are doing Ant - I like the wash mit idea - the bucket with grid so that grit can fall through? I power soak the car first, wash from top down to lower door line all round and finish below this line with a different sponge.:stop:

It's a good idea in principle but this bucket is twice as big as a normal one so takes twice as much wash solution and water so twice as heavy so to be honest I don't use it much. The two bucket option suits me.

I have the same one Steve and as you say its massive .I leave it in the garage with the remaining contents in. A decent shampoo stays active its always good for a clean if the wheels in between washes as my brake pads seem to just take great pride in coating my wheels within 50 yards of home :mad:

What make of brake pads do you have Ant ?
I don't know what's in mine as they were fitted by the garage I don't use any more when I got the car but they turn the wheels slate grey in a short time :rolleyes:
