Doesn't really look super dirty, but it doesn't look all that fantastic when detailed either.

Still better than a black car. Fvck that, black cars aren't worth it

There's an old quarry a half mile from my house. If the wind is blowing right, my car will be covered in dust the next morning because of the dew.

If I park it in the garage at school and it's windy, 6 hours is all it takes for it to get coated in pollen and dust.

If I park at my dads office...forget about it. It'll be dotted with these yellow drips of pollen or some crap like that.

How did you know my car has orange peel

I almost want to pay someone to do a full detail and then just maintain it at that level for as long as I can myself.

And maybe buy an orbital buffer

I thought the only stuff that wasn't swappable was the lens between coupe and sedan, and the pre-facelift to post-facelift components.

I want an orbital buffer but I'm too afraid of burning up the paint. I'd give it a shot but my parents don't trust me

orange peel is a PITA. Normally requires a full 2000 grit wet sand then hours spent buffing.. I know this because I spent 4 hours on just the hood of a car wetsanding it :/

Yea, I've heard. I'd never attempt to do it on my own. I don't know if I would be comfortable with wetsanding my entire car either since BMWs usually have a pretty thin clear coat.

personally, I have never used it.

It does appear to look good, very durable, it might not be super glossy, so follow up with a carnuba wax for a final touch

Do you guarantee an A? That's the question... lol

Ill absolutely guarantee an A on any English literature topic or anything that is a theoretical thought piece (philosophy, poli sci position paper, analysis of historical events, biography etc). For empirical topics in engineering or lab sciences my success will relate tightly to your ability to pick a specific topic and point me in the right direction research-wise. Obviously if it is a highly nuanced or abstract concept of math, sciences, computing sciences, or engineering I am not going to have the foundation to get you a guaranteed A because of incomplete knowledge of concepts, but as long as I understand the topic and have net access I'll expect one, and retain consummate faith in the power of my literary bullshitting skills to cop you at least a B. If it's anything interpretive/thesis driven I generally crush it. Consider my job at News.com as an assignment reporter was to arrive every day at 7 and begin picking off news stories on essentially anything they cover, and you have to have it be the story of record and not only be airtight but fairly inclusive. I'd never claim my copy was anywhere near bulletproof but I was solid. People **** all over the media but I'd love to see them post every project at work in the public domain to be dissected and see how long they last. And you get paid about 25k a year and there's no career path really. Journalism is a labor of love.
