    That is a beauty!!!! Congratulations on the award!!!

    Scrubbing away once again to get the M5 ready for the spring BMW Club concourse (https://www.nccbmwcca.org/concours). I try to do approx 1-2 hrs a day just to keep my ACD happy. In between sessions it sits under covers on the short lift. Hence the wheel shot below with the LARGE wheel/body gap.

    Look at the washer fill hose to tank in the Right Front wheel well. Not cleaned with tooth brush (as is my normal process) as you can not even see it with the wheel installed and car lowered.

    Looks good except for the rust on the rotor in the 5th pic. I’d have to ding you a few points for that.

    Car is in gear so I haven't clean those rear rotors completely
    one quick stop all that crap will be on the wheels.
    i blame myself for washing the car then pulling it into the garage with Wet rotors....

    Ok good news from the latest BMW Concourse held by the BMW Club of the National Capital Chapter

    My M5 took home the class win and Best in show
    My wife's car the 528i took second place (new headlamps help!)

    Mark's M5 took home Master Class as he won the Class last year

    I hadn't either until I saw his up at Katie's Cars & Coffee on Saturday many years ago. It sees maybe 50 miles a year. Total garage queen like his other cars.
    Mods on his are Dinan headers, catback exhaust, sway bars, strut bars, CAI, +++. Real nice example.

    If he would break out the Q-tip and polish everything he and I would be neck and neck on points.

    You guys…. Nice, but for me? I have to drive, and enjoy my cars on a daily basis! The more miles on them, the more character they have!

    Congrats. You need to show him how to Q-tip the exhaust tips.

    Stephen, your attention to detail with cleaning is on another level, similar to AmmoNYC. I thought I was a clean freak, but I am no where near your guy's level in the clean department.

    Just a spong wash with every full body wash and some plastic protective spray.
    i wash it weekly, clay 2x a year and wax it. The hood and roof get wax 4x a year.
    easy effort for something that gets all the local driving chores.

    a clear car or minivan is a happy car with a happy driver!

    ^_I hope all your tools and tool boxes are just as clean.
    You do wipe the tools down before you put them back in the drawers, right?
    Snotty, can you verify?
