Never used their wheel cleaners or any other wheel cleaners. I usually use the CG's Super Suds when I wash down the car.

spent some time tweaking the system and listening to it over the last few days. all without using the AudioFischertech DSP program yet as i will be downloading that on my next day off. for now i have the TREBLE settings set to about 65% and BASS at 30%. Rockford Fosgate sub is set to 80hz with gain set to 40%. if i turn up the BASS pass 30% it starts to muddy up the subwoofer at higher levels. the system really comes alive guys! speakers are still breaking in and it's only gonna sound better as i put more hours into the speakers. if you're a bass head or just love listening to music I can't tell you how much this has improved over factory. and before those who ask well what about for those with the Harmon Kardon systems? I've been in plenty of loaners from BMW when i bring my car in for services and honestly...not impressed. honestly i've been in lower end cars that have better factory sound systems. sad sad BMW!
like mentioned about tuning i had to play around with the sub placement as all my other cars that have full audio systems i didn't have to worry about it but with BMW they really have good sound proofing. the rear seat really dampers the bass. there's an article i read that shows the f10 rear seats almost lowers the output by 5dbs+. with the ski port open it does sound better but what i found the most optimum is having the passenger left seat completely down. you can really feel the bass hit without any distortion. also instead of the sub enclosure sitting directly behind the rear seat i found it sounds best sitting to it's side as pictured. i'm guessing it uses the whole trunk space as an enclosure as well. not a big deal as i still have plenty of trunk space for groceries and what not. here's where i installed the Bass Control Knob. the funny thing when it comes to BASS is every song that you listen to has either crazy bass, not enough bass or just right. most bass heads will adjust the bass knob accordingly to whatever song that may be on and change it as each song is playing. so it's nice to have this knob at arms reach. here's what came with the Rockford Fosgate enclosure to keep it from moving. very strong...so strong it's really a PITA to pickup the enclosure. after a some spirit driving this morning the sub doesn't move for anything. now my only issue is the brake light on top of the rear window. the bass hits so hard it rattled it out of the housing. i gotta find a way to keep it in and without rattling lol

The Diablo wheel cleaner is OK. if you have heavy build up it won't do much good. In my case I thought it was trash. but each application is different.

I was gonna get the Wheel Diablo but the 1 gallon was $60. This other stuff was only $30. Gonna give it a try.

caked on salt/road grime / brake dust, on my wife's mdx, from 4 months of driving (bay area and tahoe/reno) i sprayed it on and let it dwell for 5m per side and then used a wheel brush to scrub the barrels and was able to remove 90% of everything w the pressure washer. then i foam the wheels after and scrub them with dedicated wash mitt, to get the rest of the crap off... |

Completed my DEC retrofit. Will be uploading a DIY to my channel tomorrow. Man Sports+ really makes a difference.

I've read that brighter halos kill the life of those. Any pictures

I did the brighter halos (I have LED headlights) and it's significantly brighter when I just run those with the fogs. Sadly I don't have any pics. I was doing a rainy day lunch pick up with my wife sitting in the car. Came out with the food, and the brightness was surprisingly blinding to me lol

51-16-9-213-657; about $11.50 at ECS Tuning. I had to look it up 'cause I thought I saved the package, but alas, did not. Just pop the old cigarette insert out and the new one in.
The brightness is only for when the headlights are on; the DRL's are normally 100%. I did this to our 2012 5 years ago and the corona rings are just fine. |

Powder-coated the wheels black! I know the car is dirty but it's been raining a lot so I haven't had the chance to clean it.
