Meguiar's Ultimate Quik Wax uses the company's cutting-edge Hydrophobic Polymer Technology. This gives the formula a "water fearing" complex imparting superior water beading properties in an easy-to-use spray wax. Use it in conjunction with Ultimate Quik Detailer (one of our all-time-favorite car-care products)-when the detailer becomes slow to wipe off, it's time for a coat of Ultimate Quik Wax. It contains no petroleum distillates, won't leave behind messy white residue on trim, and like all Meguiar's products it features a pleasant scent.

Hotchkis's high-tech CAD-designed rear camber links for the BMW E90 and E92 3 Series are adjustable from zero to -3.5 degrees and replace your non-adjustable OEM links to improve predictability, driver feel and corner exit traction. By allowing you to dial-in correct camber on lowered vehicles, these also increase tire footprint and can reduce premature tire wear on lowered vehicles. Links are constructed from premium 7/8-inch chrome-moly, PTFE lined Heim joints with a CNC-machined billet 6061 T6 aluminum center section and large 7/8-inch jamb nuts for secure locking. When combined with sport springs, Hotchkis Performance Sport Sway Bars and an aggressive tire compound, these links are the final component necessary to make your 3-Series a track superstar. $770.95
