In response to Sunnywuh's suggestion of AP Racing kit. According to a pro shop, AP for E90, one of the the hub mechanicals has to be customed built locally as they don't come with the kit. This is the reason I am getting Project Mu because the whole kit is originally Japan designed for E9X.
Anyone has further information to share?

A little Mothers of the day - What is Sealer and Glaze?

What is Sealer and Glaze?

This products name is Sealer and Glaze, and should not be compared to products that have become known as 'Sealant'.( A sealant in the main is a last step product that is (in the main) synthetic by nature.)

This Sealer and Glaze is not that type of product at all.
The idea is that during the naming process, years ago, before the word 'Sealant' became popularly trendy, that this product was used to (rough explanation only, and most probably incorrect, sorry for that) seal in the original polish, the Pre Wax Cleaner which is the first stage. This is the second stage, and this product contains a superfine polish to seal off that original polish. The Glaze part of the title refers to the elements in the product that level out the microscopically tiny valleys in the paint, bringing them up to the level of the top of the painted surface. Then the product again should be covered with that hard 'candy like' shell of pure carnauba.

Keep in mind also that the nature of this product Sealer and Glaze is such that it is short lived indeed when compared to Pure Carnauba or the synthetics, so the effect, if this is left as the topmost product will look temporarily stunning, but will be short lived.

2006 E90 330i  [6.00]
Prodrive GC-014 Forged Monoblock

Brothers,

Any comments on this rim? I am interested in its 18".

No golden color for non-Japanese models, otherwise I can pretend a Subaru...

t, I think u has just mentioned opposite the case, sealant is what we called synthetic waxes having an excellent durability which can last 6 to 9 months or even longer, whereas the carnauba car waxes are 100% natural producing a deeper, darker and richer shine, most enthusiasts and show car owners prefer the shine of carnauba waxes, especially on black, red and other dark colors. But, On the minus side, they are not as durable as synthetic waxes.

I also want iDrive + Navi, but this time all my money will goes to the four new feet of my E90...

Yes, S&G is 'short live' if you only apply this as the outer layer.
S&G is not intended to be a standalone application but it should be the 2nd step of the Mother Ultimate 3-Step Wax process.
So long pure carnuaba wax is topped up on the S&G layer regularly, then the effect of S&G will last 6 months.

btw, the CHINESE Song names that you saw on the display can be done (tested on both) by using CD (MP3 CD, with Chinese Song File Names) or DVD (MP3 Audio DVD, with Chinese Song File Names). Just in case any of you wanted to know where its from.

So now i guess i dont need to get the After-Market iPod USB option la haha

Mothers Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner have best reputation in Hong Kong. Every Accessories shop know this. Best seller.
For those who have not got Mothers Leather Cleaner and Leather Conditioner, I am sorry for their BMW leather seats.

I don't suggest you mix Zaino and Mothers products applications. You can blend different products of the specific brand as each brand allows their own products to be mixed.
