Got my Stromung installed Friday. Great fit and finish, looks perfect and sounds great. Can't wait till I get some miles on it and it opens up a little more.
Also met up with Mike.BMW for Cars & Coffee in Dullas this morning. He has an awesome and super clean 318is. He posted a few pics up in his build thread, but here is one that he took.

I hadn't had a chance to give the car a good detail since I picked it up this fall. So I decided to give her a proper detail in prep for The Vintage next weekend.
Wash, Clay, Wash, 2 Stage Polish with the Porter Cable, and 3 coats of Zaino.
I had only used the Porter Cable on small areas before, this was the first time I had tried to do a full car polish/paint correction. I probably could have been a little more aggressive, but I was happy with the results. All the swirls came out nicely.
Here is the car right after the 2 Stage Polish with Meguires M105 & M205
And finally after 3 coats of Zaino
I know there are a lot of new types sealants out there, but I have been using Zaino since 2005 and love the stuff. Awesome shine, easy to use and lasting protection. A lot of people complain that it takes too long, but it is all in the prep and that is what takes time.Last edited by Zeemz; 08-07-2017, 07:26 PM.

Detail looks fantastic.
Every since I dove into the world of automotive detailing, paint no longer looks the same to me. It is phenomenal what you can do with a 6" random orbital and the right compounds. Life literally leaps out of paint.My previous build (currently E30-less)

It is definitely pretty amazing what you can do to your paint with the right tools/supplies.

When I got my new E30 and had a huge list of things to do. Getting my car up to Levent was really not a huge ordeal. I was happy to send it to someone that knows the ins and outs of E30s for it to get a full inspection.
Full disclosure...I didn't know RRT existed before I sent my car up to Guten. Regardless I am happy I sent my car to Levent and know he and his guys did a great job. Both Guten and RRT are great shops and I look forward to working with both of them in the future.
Also FYI - If you have AAA Plus, you get 1 annual 200 mile tow. It was 210 miles to Guten, so I only paid $40 to have it towed there. Not a bad deal, cheaper than gas and tolls. Then a buddy drove me up to pick it up. Its a 4 hour drive, so its not that bad, and you get to see all the cool cars and parts at the shop.
