I'm not sure how everyone else does it but I always put the shine on a towel or application pad and then put it on the tire; never direct from the bottle to the tire.

I just use a 3" paint brush that I use solely for tyre shine, allows me to get under the rim protector without applying to the wheel... |

The first new project I already mentioned somewhere on the forum is the M5 exhaust. I have the M5 diffuser going for painting this week or next depending on when I can drop it off. I also ordered the exhaustmeister. Now I'm really seriously debating an x-pipe, but I'm concerned it may make it too loud for my daily. Any input is greatly appreciated.
The 2nd project was completed tonight after everyone else went to bed, so I don't have great pictures now but will get some tomorrow. This was suggested by the guys on this thread, and I thank you, because I think it turned out great. It's a small mod but sometimes those are the ones you like the most. I switched to IND body color side markers. This is a 5 minute install and very easy and safe if you use painters tape and some spare plastic cards (mine were from a recent Dave & Buster's trip). It's as easy as pushing on 3 tabs: front first to loosen it up, followed by the top middle tab, followed by the bottom middle tab. The old one just pops out on LCI cars and has no wire connected or anything like pre-LCI has.

Grabbed a quick shot on the way out the door. These side markers are a perfect match. I like them more than I expected to to be honest.

Exhaust install is going down
This was the scene earlier today. I finally got the M5 exhaust and diffuser installed. I picked the car up tonight so only got to drive it in rush hour traffic. However, I can already tell this is my favorite modification on the car. Loving the sound. I'll try to get some pics up this weekend. The shop did a great job lining everything up just right. I still have to install the exhaustmeister and a couple other little goodies, but instantly the car is more fun and lively. Can't recommend this modification enough.

Just installed the exhaustmeister tonight. Very straightforward install with good instructions. I finished about 10PM, so I couldn't really test it out except to ensure it worked at idle. Tomorrow's trip to work should be a good time though.
