Happy ending!! I took my poor stained PW/B MCS to MINI of St. Louis. Matt and Steve looked at it and tried a few things but couldn't budge the stains. They sent me to Dennis at the BMW Collision Center who was able to figure it out. He said they were probably stains from uncured concrete. I remember going under the I-40 - I-170 flying overpass construction on a wet day last week. I probably got hit then. They worked on it with a buffer and some solutions that I didn't ask about. All gone! Thank you Matt, Steve, Dennis and Lotsie.

When Mike got here, shortly after they got the stains of/out of the clear coat, it looked normal. Cleaned off the door, applied AIO and Clear Seal and it looked like the rest of the car. I'm sure if you measured it with one of those paint thickness devices the clear coat would be thinner than normal. Just have to keep extra protection on the area.

hahaha. too funny.actually i found a soldered coin lithium ion battery.
3.6v probably 10mA or something at best, but i wasn't expecting lithium ion cause they
are pretty expensive. if the unit was sold at Walgreens for $4.99
regular price, that means:
~$2.65 at distributor in US.
~$1.75 at US port
~$1.55 at China port
~$1.50 at factory
if you break that down, it's got 3 LED's, multi-function sw,
lithium battery, numerous hand soldered resistors and a capacitor
on PCB, 9 screws, 2housing pieces, 2 rubber housing pieces,
gearbox (5-6 gears), motor, lens, paint, crank, full color packaging
with vacuum pack.
how the hell do they do it?
i QD'ed my G for the first time since 11/04. man, talk about DUST. 
i need to QD my cars more often even if they are garaged...
i went through 7 platinumMF's and a glass towel. i think im going
to QD my MCS later on this week.

Yeah big storms here last night, was still raining this morning. We both had to go out in it, so both MINIs are now dirty
I was about to wash them this afternoon, under blue skies, but just as I was headed out it started to rain again:impatient
Maybe tomorrow.

Refreshing... Yeah, Baby !! It was 62 degrees when I left work yesterday and even though it was dark, it was very comfy. So, Yeahhhhh Baby, Dr Evil let his top down and we had a nice ride home !! It's been a while since I smelled that fresh Maryland farm air.
Growing up surrounded by dairy farms, I do love that scent of fresh cow manure !
Of course, we had a chicken farm about a mile away and when the wind blew from that direction... UGH !!!
Funny how I will eat more chicken than beef, after knowing how their poop smells differ so much. :impatient
