Nice one. I notice from the pics that your hood is uneven though. Check to see
if it's closed securely and properly on the left hand side as we look at the car
from the front or if it needs to be regulated so that it ends up lower.

Nothing wrong with it. The result from it just can't compete with "regular wash" products. You might need to learn how to detail the car first.

And never let your rags/cleaning brushes hit the ground... big no no... black cars show all scratches.

autodry leaves a layer of polymer on the paint, and it looks really ugly after a few days.

i stop using autodry after a few wash... plus those filters were too expenive.

that's only if you use their soap! I just use it for its deionized water which helps eliminates water spots. Thinking about just getting the Clear-rinse hose filter adapter. The auto-dry is just too slow!

nice wash, altho its sad to see BMW's poor paint techniques that lead to orange peel look. Your lucky that yours is not greatly noticeable as my friends e90.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orange_peel_%28paint%29

for anyone whos curious what orange peel is.
