It looks like they take good care of the car. Way to take it to the next level.
That's a pretty useful little brush, I've got to get me one of them. Is that the swissvax wheel brush you are using everywhere?

I was thinking the same thing, that brush looks really useful.

Sweet job

X3 could you give us details on the detail/cleaning brush you used in the channels of the hood and elsewhere?
