Great to hear Tit... the eBMW wax is also VERY good too... Sonax, I have some at home, I get lots of comments about my cars cleanliness all the time.

I found NXT to be like armour all, you have to apply it all the time to keep it looking good, with the sonax you just wash the car and it looks magic again...

They are even polishing the car with some Meguairs NXT that I've given them, instead of the BMW polish that they use....sweeet....!

The 18th of Jan is a great day to get a car methinks given it's my b'day... congrats and enjoy

I think I spotted your car at the dealer yesterday then. DS/B MCS with xenons in the back corner of the dealers yard.

Not long to go

ooooh yeah!! I'm going in there this morning to drop off the wax and do some paperwork. I'd like to get started on some of the delivery checklist (excludin the cleanliness/waxing of course) today if I can, so that minor stuff can be sorted by Tuesday, when I finally get to take that baby for a drive...all the way back to Sydney...(the long way, of course

)

Wax is a funny thing. Everyone has their own idea of what is best...I have heard that the BMW wax is very good. As is mothers, Zaino and NXT. On my last car I used to use Amway Silicon glaze (don't worry, it's not as bad as it sounds)....I thought that was awesome, compared to the turtlewax and other stuff I'd been trying out...

Scotty, I heard you have tried out NXT....is it as good as I hear?

ausyonline and poki, congratulations both on your important days....it seems it will become my anniversary as well!!

I've tried the NXT and have been very impressed

, but the others ar apparently very good too

Tit · Jan 18th, 2005, 12:31 PM

I now have a brand new DS/B MCS Chilli sitting in my garage!!!

I took delivery today at 10am at Rolfe Classic. Spent an hour and half inspecting it. I managed to make a warranty claim even before it was delivered!!

- the bottom right corner of the front bumper was warped and the dealers there have already ordered a new one for me....

Anyway...I already have an aero grille ready to fit to my MCS front bumper (a painful process, I hear)....I also spent the day trawling Fyshwick and Hume for quotes on colour coding.....Most of the shops wouldn't have a bar of it...they'd just stand there looking at the car and ask me why I would want to modify it already.....the average quote was around $2k

BTW, The NXT Came up sweet!

Some pics below:
