I haven't had a chance to put the betalink on the lip yet, I need to get it on before the car show in a few weeks

I stumbled across a few pics of my old Le Mans Blue/Saddle Brown FBO E92 335...miss that car

Picked up a new Flex XC3401VRG Positive-Drive Rotary-Orbital Polisher (buffer) for an upcoming car show to get a show car finish along with Menzerna Maximum Shine Kit

My Porter Cable buffer I've had for the past 7 years just gave out on me recently...anyone have any experience/tips using the Flex buffer so I don't damage the paint?

The new Flex polisher(buffer) works amazing along with the Menzerna detailing kit. I practiced on my Jeep GC and the results speak for themselves, this was a backyard spray paint job(Monte Carlo Blue) by the way. My X5M is entered in a car show this weekend so I now feel comfortable using the buffer on the paint

Here's a few pics of the Jeeps paint job after 3 straight days of wet sanding and buffing...I'll try and take pics of my detailing process on the X5

I'm starting to get bored with the Monte Carlo Blue calipers I had powder coated earlier this year. I'm thinking of having them powder coated either yellow or red(not sure yet) and peeling the ///M sticker off and replacing it with a BREMBO sticker instead? any suggestions

I thought you sold everything? I'm going to have to pass on the bbk for now brother, my wife has me banking every penny for a new house and SAV, powder coating the calipers is only a few hundred$

Did you get the new x5 yet?

Hi bro, I would try to paint calipers red to match center caps if you planning to keep them red (what about the blue center caps u ordered to paint few months back, did they ever arrived?) I wouldn't put Brembo stickers on them unless you really going Brembo but that just me, I'm sure it will look great either way!

I had them painted MCB but didn't like the way the center caps turned out so I sent them back...I like the red center caps it gives the wheels some contrast...Our X5M brakes already come with Brembo's from the factory, the BBK would be a good purchase if I were to track the truck but I don't plan on it anytime soon. I'm kind of leaning towards BMW Dakar Yellow or Ferrari Giallo Modena for the calipers
