Hi stealth, do you wash it yourself?
And keep it garaged?
Do you think frozen colours do better in certain countries due to climate ?
Asking as I saw a frozen blue m5, but it looked difficult to maintain with the weather in London |
Yes I wash the car myself and keep it garaged.
I know a good mobile detailer who could do a good job washing the car, but my process is so easy I don't need any help.
I can wash the car in 15 minutes flat. I hose it down, then I foam gun with matte snow foam, then I rinse to remove most surface dirt. Then I foam gun again. Then I go over the car with a microfiber mitt carefully rinsing the mitt through the process. Then I hose rinse with de-mineralized water and then I drive it round the block to wind dry it. It is spotless within 15-20mins. No water marks. Spotless.
I have two hoses for this process which saves time because I don't need to switch between foam gun and rinse gun. And I have a de mineralizer hooked up to the rinse hose. I use drinking water hoses to avoid re mineralization. |
Thanks for the insight on your maintenance with frozen colours
Out of curiosity how do you approach cleaning your brakes on your m5 (to limit rust, brake squeal etc) |
Only way to clean brakes is using the brake pads - ie by braking hard. Avlnch has a technique for this.
