I have a Haswell MBP retina - when it was running Mavericks OS X everything was smooth, snappy and quick - however, ever since i've updated to Yosemite I find that everything's so laggy, scrolling, the UI, Safari has to constantly be quit and re-opened - it's really ruining the Apple experience...

Side profile looks odd and the rear looks 'underhweeled'. Like it other than that though.

Anyone fancy some BF4 or GTAV tonight?

Yeah it seems so. If Ostendo impresses i'll be going for that.

I was lucky enough today to be offered a trial of a few waxes on the bootlid of the Z4 to help me decide which was to go for. It's had Definitive Wax 'Durus', Definitive Wax 'Ostendo' and Zymol 'Glasur' applied - it'll be interesting to see how they work out :).

Sweet - i'll load it up now. Got a headset?

Ordered some clean plates and another Dooka :) :

Amazing. If I upgrade from the 3.0si - this will be what replaces it!

As above. Washed and dried, post storage in the shed.

Forgotten how easy Hydro2 is to apply and the insane beading it leaves - applied it to my parents car yesterday with great results. The only downside being the pressure washer lance, for some reason, wasn't 100% locked in place, flew off and put a dent in the bonnet :(

Got none in the 172 cup / Cupra or 197. Got a few looks in the R26. Get a fair few positive comments and looks on / in the Z4.

Funny you should mention Soft99 - Sonar BSD has a similarly obsessive following right now! I'm going to stick to a good old fashioned old school wax - don't even want to use the OC 2.0 i've got left over!

I see De-Ionised water is ok for the final rinse off - but what about RO water? Specifially 4 stage RO with DI pod and 0 total dissolved solids? Just wondering as i've bought one for the new reef tank so can hopefully utilise the water :)

Definitely something 'special' though really no more than £100 - £150 a tub. So far i'm looking at Zymol Glasur, Swissvax Shield or Definitive Show edition. Durability isn't an issue, 4 weeks would be acceptable tbh. Or stick with the 55 for the shed : DSC_0052 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr I...

Cheers gally. So maybe for someone with a bit of experience then? What you say does back up what i've read - it can be difficult to remove - not what I want on a black car. Back to the research - cheers :)

What's your guys thoughts on Migliore Competizione? One left on DW at £80 delivered instead of £150.....

Really am stuck on the mission 'Bury the hatchet' - the triads just keep coming, and even being behind cover, eventually they pick my health off :(

n1nja-frog - BF4 / GTA5

The more I see it with them on, the more i'm in two minds about them. Plan for next winter, funds allowing, is use the original wheels as winters and go for a set of these as summers :

Well I was expecting far worse feedback than this! Sometimes I think it looks a bit 'Bradford' but sometimes I don't. No more black going on, will leave all the badges etc chrome and the stock BMW logos on. @TomSx DSC_0115 by DEAF N1NJA, on Flickr @ian 182 - Millicent's classy so she probably...

I'm undecided. Needs plain stick on plates, but metal like the standard ones. No border.

The wheels are temporary as I said - black on black on black is a bit much. On silver wheels it'll look good I hope. If not, only £50 lost, no biggy. Nearly out of RG55 wax now, tempted to try some Zymol Glasur this time round.
