I did engine bay detailing again this morning.

Engine Bay Detailing

I didn't take any before pictures, since there are plenty of them above.
I rinsed and cleaned it using Sonax APC diluted 4:1, and scrubbed it using brushes, as per my usual process.

However, this week I purchased a gallon of Meguiar's Hyper Dressing, so I really wanted to try that.

I will check the result in a few hours, once it has dried up completely.

I noticed the dressing was still wet to touch, and had some extra shine.

.

.

I may go back tomorrow and wipe the excess off using a clean microfiber cloth. I believe 3:1 is a bit strong for my taste. I might go down to 4:1 next time and see the results.

Older Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TTs moved to the rear end

The Dunlop SP Sport Maxx TTs worked pretty well for me, and I changed them just over 51,000 kms (22 months).

The new ones have treadwear rating of 420, so expecting a good life out of them.

Good job
Mine have done 82000 kms and they are fitted 3 years back in factory. Still a lot of thread is remaining, hence decided to change at 100k kms.

Finally sold the car

Here are some pictures I had taken with the car before the sale. Surprisingly, I never had pictures with the car previously. It served me well for 5 years Alhamdullilah.

Now looking forward to a new adventure.

I want to buy another 5er, but lets see.

I have finally gotten myself into a Honda Accord.

Read all about my next adventure here.

Alhamdullilah I bought a Honda Accord again!

Hello friends, As some of you may know, I moved to Melbourne beginning of this year. Moving houses across the world wasn't an easy job, but we managed it fine Alhamdullilah. Its been more than 6 months here and we feel we have come a long way. Anyway, enough with the boring background, and onto the exciting stuff! Shortly after moving, my wife wanted a small car, so she could practice driving on it. So with a heavy heart, I let her purchase a VW Polo. Which is a good German car, but not for me…
