Hello from sunny Phoenix

[TeMercZHP]

Glad to be part of the ZHP Mafia community.

Live in Phx(23 yrs), work from home doing tech support for antimalware vendor and originally from NY where I was a detailer on LI North Shore

Owned current 04 330iZHP since December 2013 which had 64K on the odo when I bought it. Has 74 K now.

Car is essentially stock, just added a K&N free flow air filter and to come are exhaust and sway bars.

Also going to be ditching the OEM wheels for something else towards end of year. OEMs are nice but total PIA to clean, likely add 30 minutes to my wash time.

Drop me a note anytime, love to talk about these cars and looking forward to all the info on this site and forums.

Welcome ! Your car looks very sharp.

[TeMercZHP]

Thanks all. Have to give some credit to the previous owners but yeah, the car is clean and I'm real retentive about keeping it so. Every weekend no matter what, unless it's actually raining. During the Phx monsoon season, it's not odd for me to wash my cars twice a week.

Here's a couple combo images:

Hi Bullfrog!!


Thanks for the offer, I'll be doing what I can myself and have a couple of other trusted sources for things I can't.

I'm around 51 and 101 area, North Phx.

With regards to detail stuff I already have that handled, I am good friends with European Detail Specialists in Scottsdale, known Perry for nearly 30 years now after meeting as a detailer from East coast looking for West coast 'tips and tricks' so to speak. I actually introduced him to two products he hadn't heard of and he uses one still to this day.

They do all the detailing for the Barret-Jackson auctions in Scottsdale and have gone around the country assisting them to pick other local detailers for other city auctions. They do alot of other business together and he and Craig Jackson are best buds. I was just there and saw his Bugatti at the shop last week. See:

I had my own one-man shop for many years, mostly high end stuff on the LI North Shore. Got out of detailing about 15 years back.
