Hi all,

New member here and new to Z4 ownership as well. The Z4 I finally bought was advertised on PH and also in the for sale section of this forum, so some of you might recognise it from there. 2015 E89 SDrive 35i in Estoril Blue. She’s a beauty.

In a previous life (i.e. pre-kids) I was an avid detailer, and this Z4 is going to be the car to reignite that old passion. The first owner kept in in amazing condition, but I’m really going to make that blue pop. So you’ll probable see me hanging out in the detailing section.

Here’s a few pics from the first wash I gave it (no chemicals), and dried off with a spritz of Megs QD. There’s so much more to come!

Cheers guys. Let’s face it, there are no bad colours... just other colours that aren’t as nice as your own :D

Yup. Had a Honda CRX and Clio 172 Cup in similar colour. They looked lovely when polished, and way more manageable than any of the black cars I’ve owned

Welcome to the forum. Looks a lovely car you have got yourself there. Judging from the tel no on the van in the background I reckon you can’t be too far away so I might see you and your car around. If you want another one to turn your detailing skills to let me know as mine could do with it :roll:

I’m in South Ayrshire. In the near future I’ll be putting my private plate on. When I do that you would recognise my car as a detailer’s car a mile off :wink:

A warm welcome, lovely colour 2nd only to Atacama Yellow IMHO! :rofl:

I hope you are going to go and drive it as well as polish it? :thumbsup: :tumbleweed:

Having said that any mods planned?

Hope we (royal we) might see you on some of the runs /meetings that are posted here ... :driving:

Only when The Sturgeon says so of course!

No particular mods planned. I sometimes make a subtle cosmetic change just to make it my own (but don’t really know what yet).
