Winter Detail Special: Black Allroad...anyone interested a few more spots and we are done for the
season. The special ends this weekend. So if anyone is still interested let me know.

This car was pretty bad scuffs, scratches, paint marks from other cars, tar, etc.
Check out the transformation.
1. With a warm engine, I spritzed it down with P21S Autowash, scrub the dirty areas down with a soft brush and then sprayed it cleaned, closed the hood and went onto the wheels.
2. Wheels cleaned with P21S Gel, sprayed down all four wheels let it sit and then brushed and cleaned the wheels sprayed off brake dust and grime with firehose nozzle
3. Cleaned the wheel wells with P21S Autowash
4. Car washed with Adam's car wash applied with Foam Gun and new schmitt wash mitts.
5. Dried car down and started to clayed the car with Adam's Clay bar and Adam's Detail Spray
6. Put the car under some lights and started to remove the swirls and light scratches with the PC with the German Green Pad (Edge ones for Adam's Polishes), used some Menzera Acrylic for polish/sealant combination, worked well with the Allroad. (I'm not in love with this product from Menzerna but it did well on this car.)
7. Windows cleaned with Adam's Glass Cleaner
8. Tires dressed wtih Adam's VRT
9. back to the engine to finish it off with Adam's VRT and the hard to reach spots and wires with Adam's In and Out.

I'm in NJ, an exterior typically runs $150 and up depending on the car and how
bad it is, however I did a special for 3 weeks with pricing starting at $99.99

HIJACK: Any new updates on the brake problem
I was having similar problems (no vibration though). I switched my front pads to EBC Greenstuffs. It worked for about 1 day then the awful noise came back.
This weekend I headed out to the country and followed the Stoptech proceedure to the very last detail. I haven't heard a peep since (but only 3 days).
On about the 5th stop, the brakes begin to fade. Shortly thereafter, you'll get a lot of smoke coming from the front brakes. This is normal (although it kind of freaked me out). After the second set of 10 stops, the squeal was nearly gone. After sitting overnight (NO e-brake!) and everything fully cooled down, no noise at all.
Hopefully, I am done with the muni bus sound.

if only you were in Va!
I would jump on the $99 deal in a heart beat! I don't get any nearly as much time to baby my car as I did in my younger days. I can remember spending a weekend cleaning/polishing/waxing and detailing the interior. Now I'm thrilled when the local car wash does a good job.

I am waiting to hear from my indy after they "consult" with some techs
to see how best to proceed....the thing I don't like is that mine don't just squeal..they shudder too, not every time but enough to make me uncomfortable that they will stop this thing in an emergency situation...did yours shudder?
BTW thanks for asking...I'm kind of on hold, I guess.
