    Best Wash Soap

    in BMW 2002 and other '02

    Posted

    My car hobby includes detailing, and for a number of years I have been going with Optimum No Rinse... it has been revolutionary. It safely (with the right technique) removes loose dirt off the car with just two buckets of water and no need to rinse... which makes it easy to do in a garage, apartment complex, wherever, you don't waste so much water and you don't drench these old rust prone cars with water.

    However, when a car is super soiled or I want to strip the wax off the car to clay bar/polish/re-seal, I'll get out the foam gun attachment to my hose and use Chemical guy's Citrus Wash and Clear.

    Hope that helps

    Upholstry shop

    I just visiting a lot of upholstery shops in the area and felt most comfortable with Pete's Auto Top and Upholstery on Pico. They were recommended by veteran (the place that supplies all la upholsterers with material) and his prices are in the middle between super cheap and mucho expensive. New Life Upholstery on Venice also does good work, but the guy there came across as a bit of a jerk to be honest and his prices were on the higher end. On the lower price end, veteran vouched for sosa's upholstery, who does their own cars and quoted me a very very cheap rate.

    New/Old Recovered Recaros

    I must admit I'm jealous as he (jj interiors) was my first choice after seeing his wonderful work, but after one email and three voicemails ignored over a few weeks time and I decided I'd have to move on - i understand he's busy but I don't have time to hunt someone down. His work does look excellent though, and I have a feeling he's more reasonable than the talented upholsterers of LA. Anyone had experience with aardvark's upholstery work? I'm thinking of using them for at least doorcards and perhaps recovering my scheel seats I bought on eBay

    i called the lady, she is selling them for a friend. Says they are in perfect shape, still has the original boxes. They look to be the expert series seat. I offered 1500 and she accepted, though I went a different direction so didn't take them obviously. Is a good deal!

    Might be interested in both door cards front and rear and can pick up, but not at that price - it's the same as freshly recovered cards from aardvarc...

    Andy Shank contact info?

    my car is currently @ Andy's so I will report back with my experiences. JP has used him satisfactorily before, and he's been doing restoration type jobs for awhile - a big reason I went with him. In a nutshell, I loathe working with body shops - they are expensive, never get the work done on time, rush everything and half the time dont do the work right. My last experience was a year in the shop and an unsatisfactory paint job (for what I paid). Andy is reasonable and a one man shop - he only takes one car at a time and thus can pay sole attention to your car and gets it done in a very timely manner. Being a small one man shop, he kind of likes to do what he's comfortable with/wants to do.
