I'm old and broken down. So to the car wash I go. No issues after 1 year (once per month) with touch on my AMB. But maybe, in addition to being old, I'm also blind.

This vid right here has the most useful information regarding paint / finishing of anything I've ever seen. It's not a detailing vid as they're starting with a clean surface, they're just giving you knowledge. Wet sanding can clean up a clearcoat removing less material than compounds while providing superior results. Watch and learn.Thanks for the info. So that wet sand is the same as paint correction? And it's only cutting into the clear coat? How many times can this be done before you hit color coat?
LOL Good point... friend of mine bought an 8k TV when they first came out. Im like, "You even have eyes good enough to see that?" HehehI'm old and broken down. So to the car wash I go. No issues after 1 year (once per month) with touch on my AMB. But maybe, in addition to being old, I'm also blind.
that’s going to look bad in 3 years. I’ve got a subscription to a hand wash only place. Truck looks fabulous as do my other cars. Love it.I take my 2023 stx v8 thru an automatic wash weekly, NBD
Ok I'll admit I don't keep up on things much but what is an AMB color?I have a 2023 AMB Tremor (v8 of course, thank you for asking), that is coming up on its one year anniversary.
So far she’s never seen an automatic car wash (the kind with the spinning brushes). Or put another way, I’m the guy with a great looking truck that is usually dirty.
I don’t have the time, or inclination to hand wash her very frequently. It’s not just lethargy, it’s also cold here a lot. Given this, I take her to the touchless car wash bays, which do an “okay” job.
However, my first wife has a membership to the local chain of Gas & Washes, so she takes her SUV in about once a week, or at least 3 times a month. So her ride is always looking great. Her SUV is silver, and I think metallic, but I don’t notice any swirl marks…..I only notice a great looking clean ride. I’m jealous.
So have any of my AMB brethren frequented these spinning brushes of doom? If so, whats your finish looking like? Still happy with the way things look? Any regrets?
