This is one of the first few X5 CBU units deliver end of last year,
I was called to attend to protecting this awesome ride, .......................



some pictures taken during wash

stained side steps



more stains from side steps, cant believe from a new car??? new car doesnt means just built...this is a CBU unit , for it came a long long way! shipment from Germany, by sea, held up at custom dock till it is clear, then drove to stock yard, then deliver to state dealer and thus the local dealer





imagine the amount of contaminats it was exposed to



brushing away with OPC



more stains discover at every rubber anti slip area





mnnnnnnnnnnnnn.....lots of work



here is a clearer evident



ta da



the culprit ....anti rust dropping ....stained ....



anti rust ...is applied to the inner door body to prevent rust, some how when it is melt...it stained everywhere like a glue or chewing gum



ta da....after much cleaning

many would not have imagine why? and even some may ask why does a new car must be detail prior delivery
some of you may have many answers....eg

the car from Germany Manufacturing plant produce and kept the stock in the yard, later was transfers to dock at harbor! boarded the ship hence....arriving to bonded area! later transfers to HQ/ Capital stock yard and hence fort to dealer branch ...being exposed to many sun rain in the open area
the contaminant from rain and industrial fall out may have smear and created some contaminant/stains

henceforth was sent to a detailer....ended whacked while it being detail



see it for yourself grease like anti rust

Hi, recently i've asked about how do i need to modify on my Waja 4g18 exhaust system, a sifu suggested me to change the extrator to 4-2-1 and mid box only.
is that enough to gain the performance that i needed already? exclude the sound or whatever muffler that are for cosmetic purpose only. thanks
