Dudes all of this is highly unnecessary. I just got back from ED with my M5 a week ago. I put 2051 miles on it in 6 days. All I did was bring a pack of microfiber clothes and a full bottle of quick detailer. I put them in my suitcase for check-in luggage. In 2051 miles of driving I did not have one scratch, or bird poop stain or bug stain on the paint at the end. I washed the car a total of 4 times throughout the trip. Car washes are readily available in Europe. Additionally I would clean off the front bumper, windshield, and the front of the side view mirrors to keep all of the bug splats from accumulating. The paints protective clear coat is more than enough protection. Also I did not have a single rock chip. Even if you do have a scratch or a rock chip, just simply have the people make a note of it when you drop it off and then the VPC will correct it for you when it gets stateside. I did all this with a Sapphire Black car and it was fine. Stop being OCD! LOL! :P
