Man, beautiful and inspiring work so far! So cool to see someone who cares about the underside of their car as much as I do. I don't buy cars very often - the last I bought was in 2009 - but I keep them for a long time and work on them myself, which almost necessitates having an OCD-level clean throughout. Leaks and other issues that need diagnosing can be found so much easier when you're starting out with a clean car.

That said, I also live in the PNW which makes it pretty tough to keep the underside as shiny as I'd like it to be. I generally detail the underside at least once a year, and touch it up at every tire rotation.

I'll also be watching your build closely as it develops. I just took delivery of my 2011 35d yesterday in platinum bronze and can't wait to get started on "Making it my own."

thanks for the inspiration, and best of luck as you go forward!
