Phil - that's amazing you could spot it. I am staring at the pic, and I can't tell its not a M5.

Yes it is possible and even recommended to wax a wrapped car. You can't use carnauba wax though. Natural waxes won't adhere to vinyl. Synthetic wax works great though and works to protect the vinyl just like paint.
Spray wax actually works best on vinyl.

I actually used a brand new product that I was going to announce when I got more experience. I recently acquired Optimums new formula called Optimum No Rinse Wash and Wax. I tried it last night for the first time and after driving through a rain storm today I can officially say that the product is legit. The only dirt to stick to the car is on the sides and naturally on the trunk and rear bumper. After I washed the car with it last night the vinyl felt as smooth as silk. Pretty awesome stuff and I used less than 5 gallons of water for the whole job.

hmmm ... interesting...

i guess one thing about vinyl is that swirls are a thing of the past...

i HATE swirls.....

Where does your iPhone connect to? Looks like the cord is going towards the gas pedal area....

What mount are you using for your phone?

RPiM5 · 05-17-2015, 05:40 PM

I have a USB Power Splitter in my center arm rest. I can plug 4 power sources in the center arm rest with it with out using my USB port in the M5 to power my iPhone. The cradle I got from the Apple Store a couple of years to replace a different one that I broke. Lol! I don't know what it is called though.

The cradle is mounted on the vent?
