Best way to wash your M8 & keep it shining
Hi fellow M8 & 8-series lovers!
I just joined this forum recently (though I've been a silent observer for a while now), and just bought a new M8 Competition Coupe last month (Black Sapphire Metallic). Absolutely loving the car so far. I had a question around car washing and what some of you do to keep your rides clean (foam cannons, two bucket method, etc). Hoping to gain some wisdom from the more experienced folks on this forum, especially from those who have a black car :-) I do have the paint ceramic coated with Cilajet from the dealer, only because they had a reputed detailer apply it. So far the car still shines like new, but I'll give it a few more months and see how I feel about it. |

I have decided to go with one of the mobile services as my primary go to as the crew that comes out loves the Tanzanite Blue and are extra careful as it is just as dangerous for swirl marks like black. They do the foam cannon, power wash, two bucket and hand dry plus vacuum and wipe down the interior for $60 bucks and I give them a $10 tip. Given it's been about a year now I'm going to take the car back to the original detailer whom did the PPF and Gtechniq Crystal Serum Ultra ceramic coating (exterior and interior) for a full detail plus the ceramic update. Outside of the small boo boo on the bumper I did in a parking garage the car still looks just like I drove it off the lot. |
