Quick pic of Vorsteiner 22's

Hey guys,
Wanted to post some quick pics of my new setup! Weather has been so crazy here in Texas....I wanted to at least post something for everyone just in case it gets totaled by hail or something crazy. I'll put up all the details as soon as I can today. Enjoy!

Ride isn't too bad. Not as bad as some have made it out to be IMHO. I guess it all boils down to personal preference.

Thanks everyone! Really did come out clean and I've gotten a lot of compliments the last few weeks.

That's sick man. I personally would do without the eyebrows, but I love the kidneys and the black out reflectors. Wheels are awesome. Camber looks pretty agressive on that first pic, what is the stock suspension? (sport, adaptive drive?)

Thanks! I am still not completely sold on the eyebrows myself and they may end up coming off. Stock suspension is adaptive drive.

I had to look at the pics again, it looks so damn good Just noticed the front lip spoiler. All you need is a Dinan 2 or something and you will own the road...

Getting it that clean is actually my favorite past time right now! I've been browsing all the detailer's forum and am putting together my own detailers kit of products. Here's what I used that day.

Sonax Full Effect wheel cleaner + Swissvax wheel brush
Pre-soak with Adam's All Purpose Cleaner using a Gilmour Foamaster II
Two buck wash with Optimum Car Wash + Swissvax Waschpudel
Proseries Drying towel
Meguiar's Ultimate Liquid Wax
Meguiar's Ultimate Black for exterior trim and rubber
Meguiar's Gold Class Endurance High Gloss for tires
Aero View Window cleaner
Exhaust tips cleaned with Optimum metal polish

That's about it. So far to clean the interior I've only used BMW leather care and BMW vinyl care products on the interior and it looks great. I'm researching and learning about claying, compounding and polishing so I can add it to my detailing. There are so many products out there and I'm experimenting with just about everything. Next wash I hope to try wheel wax to fight all the brake dust. Hope that helps.

Sorry if this is dumb queston but i have never owned a vehicle with unpainted exterior pieces. Is this what you use on the textured exterior trim? Also do you put anything on the aluminum running boards?

Yes I use that on the exterior trim, rubber seals etc. It cures on the plastic, according to their website, and it keeps it looking really good but not too shiny or glossy. The running boards I just clean as a part of the regular wash and use the ultimate black on the trim around it. It gets dirty immediately after driving so I usually wipe it down randomly during the week.

Jesse, thanks for the kind words!

Always glad to help out, and happy to see how great the car looks! Those Vorsteiner 22's are absolutely stunning! If you need any more parts from them, let us know!

Just to throw something out there and not completely hijack your thread into another direction, but einszett cockpit premium is good to use on those black exterior parts as well. Doesn't seem to attract as much dust as some of the Meguiars products do.

Appreciate the suggestion. I'm trying a lot of different products and I'll make sure I add that to my list. Anything is better than the dried out look with this Texas heat! lol
