I did it myself earlier this year using a gun cleaning kit and some carb cleaner. PM me, maybe we can do it in the spring while enjoying some beers

The dealers should offer this service ($$$). Finding an independent garage is more difficult.

I was going to ask Frank at AMW if he does it, but haven't got around to it yet. But if Kluge is doing it for the cost of beer I may have to get ahold of him. lol

Ah Hey Victor! I'm looking into getting the actual walnut blaster so it doesn't take as long as the gun cleaning kit

Cool. I'm still trying to get some time and shop space to get on a lift and install my UUC SSK before I worry about much else.

Should be able to just do that on ramps, no?
What made you choose the UUC ssk over the BMW ssk?

Ya I can do it on ramps, and I finally got some just as winter hit, so now I'm just waiting for warmer weather.

The reviews on the UUC make it a no brainer. It definitely cost a little more, but according to everyone on this site the UUC is godly compared to the BMW.

I'm sure I would've been just fine and dandy with the BMW, but I'm an idiot like that. I have to have the best of stuff all the time for some reason. lol
