Used some of that work from home time to shine her up. We're having great weather in the Portland area right now so had to take advantage.

Washed, then clay bared and started paint correction on my X5M. While the paint is looking good, it definitely makes the rock chips more obvious. Does anyone have experience with dr. colorchip or any other solutions. I plan on doing two stages of paint correction then a ceramic coating.

In the process of replacing the wastegate flapper that was causing low boost, rattle and whistle noise.
Removing the bushing is a nightmare so far. Had to go get a tungsten bit and grind this thing off tomorrow. |

Replaced passenger side mid range speaker as it was blown. Bavsound hooked me up with a free replacement even tho I wasnt covered under warranty since I wasnt the original purchaser.
Upgraded all front and rear turn signal and brake light bulbs to LEDs. The brighter light output and more instantaneous lighting is noticeable. The hazard double flash looks so much better. |

High Performance Bulbs
Front Turn http://www.highperformancebulbs.com/...er-lights.html Rear Turn and Brake- red http://www.highperformancebulbs.com/...s-vw-audi.html Bulbs are claimed to be error free but I used Protool to code in he LEDs so I am not sure if their claim is true or not.

After that I used dr. color chip to fill in all the rock chips. Dr. color chip doesn't make the chips disappear, but it fills them in enough that they are hardly noticeable. The only way to do better would be to wet sad down, repaint the chips and then clear over it, then polish again. For me it's not wroth doing that as the front bumper/hood are the only real issue areas and they will undoubtably get more rock chips as I use the vehicle for work, which requires following other vehicles very closely at high speeds, and driving off onto the shoulder quite often. That brings me to today, I applied Dr. color chip yesterday and let it dry. Today I'm going to pull out a couple small door dings, then start polishing with the 205. After it's polished and I'm happy with the condition of the paint, I'll be applying the CarPro Cquartz. So far I have about 20 hours into the project, so to say it's been easy/efficient would be a total lie. I have been "working" from home the past couple weeks because of the lockdowns in CA, so I've had the time, otherwise I would of hired this out to a local detailer who would of charged about $1200. Here's some images from the process... Current state of the paint: Hood after polishing and before dr. colorchip: Hood after dr. colorchip:
