You wait Ferdie, for the tirade of abuse to follow from the snow foaming, no touch, pat dry forum members...

(although I do confess I would not be brave enough to go rubbing a dirty car with no water...... )

Presumably the "no touch" and the "pat dry" are in different camps...

Just gave my 'very old' 2015 Macan a Sunday treat:
Only had to dust the inside (no kids!): (footprints removed later)
No problems with the wheel centres:
And just in case it feels left out/neglected:

OMG that looks very uncomfortable to ride.

Awesome looking bike though.

After washing my car I left it wet as I wanted to apply CarPro Reload.

My neighbour starts talking to me and 20mins later I see the worst water spots ever. I couldn't rub them out so had to wash the car all over again.

The sun was out so that didn't help.

Next time I think I will wash the car, rinse off with the filtered water and then apply the CarPro. Or just dry it first.

I'm yet to fully clean the car both inside and out in one shift as it takes so long to do.

I did that on one of my cars and re washed it again as it looked awful. I didn't have anyone talking to me but I just decided to sort out the junk in the garage. Not done that again....

Filtered water every time now. Then I generally dry it too but I also find filtered water beads of so much better than pressure washer non filtered leaving so much less drying to do anyway so it's a win win.
Didn't appreciate it as much until recently when the sun starting to show its face.

I also have not done a full clean in and out but I don't do that many miles so may never get to that stage if I keep on top of it. I do want to give the Gtechniq a little top up with Gtechniq detailer in the next month or so.

Finally changed from all weather floor mats to the standard ones today.
