Sometimes you can't help but look at your car once you have washed it! Post your pics..

Agreed.
I had the opportunity to buy another car that would have meant that I would have to sell mine and a few other cars to make room for it and I am glad I didn't bother with it in the end. Took mine out on Sunday Evening and I fell in love with it again.

Been a while since it was this clean, I guess its last wash was start of August. Still believe it to be one of the best looking hot hatches

Feel like Jason Statham in Transporter when this land yacht is clean
Then I remember is only an A8 and not the S8

That must be a great cruiser, ultra comfortable I imagine.

dang that’s clean!
Yes, it is very good, even on 21’s & Dunlop tyres which I’ve always found to give a harrsh ride compared to others.

It's stunning!
I'm not one for taking pics of my cars, especially when not sitting how I want, but took an early morning stroll waiting for my son and throught why not. Quick wash and a blast of NotAnachem Hybrid yesterday. First I've ever been round that way.
Wheels and calipers refurbed, coilovers and spacers next on the list now I've it mechanically sorted.

Alloys on this are absolutely brutal to clean. I don't think I've ever had a car with as much b rake dust before - makes me miss having carbon ceramics

Lovely car that, tbh I was seriously thinking about a set of black wheels for the cayman, what you have said really does put me off, my satin platinum wheels does help hid it a bit but there’s no hiding on black!

That must be a right night and day difference coming from carbon ceramics and having gloss black wheels!
Tbf most oem pads these days are woeful for brake dust. My 4 Series has signs of dust even after a 3 miles of driving

Modern discs and pads are brutal for brake dust, after a few miles my wheels don’t even look like they have been cleaned.

This is exactly what happened to me yesterday. Did all alloys first then washed car and did alloys again after a snow foam etc and still loads of bits missedI despise cleaning black alloys - to this day, I do not think I have successfully cleaned a set without missing a bit or having to go over them twice - when they are wet they look clean, once you dry them, you see dirt
GTR had black alloys and with the carbon ceramics it just needed a blast with the power hose and a quick clean, i swear these are impossible and have as many weird shaped parts as possible to ensure you can never fully clean them

Coat them lol it makes cleaning wheels so so much easier. I have black wheels on 2 of my cars
