Two brothers, two porter cables, and two BMW’s …. Detailed

This past weekend my brother and his 04 ZHP sedan came down to hang out at our place for a few days and we decided it was the perfect opportunity to break in his new porter cable. We set out to only do exterior detailing as time and ambient temperature were working against us. Plus the conversation slowed us at times. Both cars were relatively clean before starting so no ugly betty to beauty queen shots here. (BTW, center caps are on order from Tischer)

Finished up with a dip in the pool. It was 105 outside.

I had a great time hanging out and making the cars look great. Next time we'll have two seats to roll around on (I feel old) and we won't work in high 90's, low triple digits.
