I’ve tried that but when I open the door to the garage, the first thing I see is the front right rim covered in brake dust. That’s quite a disturbing sight to me so I HAVE to wash my wheels at least every 2 weeks, which usually turns into a full-on entire car wash.

Yesterday was was the first time I resisted and only washed the wheels.

Did you treat or coat your wheels to keep the dust off? I tried Hyro Silex and wasn’t wow’ed, but it has been better than some of the other waxes/ sealants I’ve tried. I asked for McKees wheel sealant for Xmas but my wife refused to pay $45 for a small 4 oz bottle. I’ll have to see if I can sneak this in without her knowing....

Had 35k mile service performed. Going to need tires by summer. Original Dunlop’s are on it now. I typically go with Michelin but am leaning towards giving the Perillis a shot.

Most any tire would be better than Dunlop's. Looking forward to putting Michelin's on mine when the time comes.

This week I started my 90000km service by starting with the spark plugs. I also changed the sunroof seal without undoing any screws - so easy!

Added the credit card key to my car. Has the F logo cause its the GSF key but works on our 350s apparently. Part number is 89904-30L50 for the card and you have to buy the key insert seperately

Cool! What the benefit of having this? How do you lock/unlock the car from far away? It looks pretty thick. I don't carry a wallet, just my Note 8 in wallet case so this will probably won't fit my case.

I never use the buttons on the regular key fob. I always use the handles to lock/unlock. If i think i forgot to lock i check my phone. Alternative would be to use enform but I hate the app since its so slow.
