Love seeing clean cars

I hate washing cars, but I enjoy watching someone wash them for me

Sanity Sunday.... Foamed up the GT4 and gave it a wash. I'll stop spamming this thread but thought I should at least include a Porsche.

Cars look very good. But, soap all over the cabriolet tops? That's aggressive. Aways has been a BIG no-no for me. How do they hold up, longer term?

Well. I use cermic based products and never scrub or get too aggressive with the pressure washer. I also us Raggtop at least 3 times a year. Looks new. Car is a 2012.5 that I've had 5 years.

Therapeutic? Absolutely! Well at least it was while I was employed and working 55+ hour weeks. Now I'm retired and it's turned into more of a chore. Don't get me wrong, I still enjoy washing/detailing but after we moved to our "retirement" home I've found that the driveway gets sun almost ALL day. So, I have to kind of time my car washing to cloudy days or evenings. Oh, did I mention that my neighbor seems to synchronizes his lawn mowing to my car washing. Oh well, first word problems - I persevere none-the-less.

Thank you! I just ordered it. Hopefully this doesn't mess up the ceramic coat on the car. Will test it out out on the inside of the side intake vent first, just to make sure.

It hasn't affected mine. I use it when washing the car and I don't leave it on the car for very long. A simple swipe is all the effort needed to remove the rubber mark.

Sounds amazing. I took me quite a bit of effort to get off this past weekend.
