I swear your hand won't fall off, just grab a bucket and some water and wash it yourself...in between homework and texting...

dealership car washes are probably the worst thing you can do to your car...

just do it yourself. Save yourself the trouble of the half-assed work

Any touchless automatic carwash will be the same or better then what the dealership would use. Then again, that Laguna Niguel dealership is pretty amazing, did they hand wash your car?

I LOVE that dealership haha actually I just love that area of SoCal. Maybe it's because I'm surrounded by fellow Iranians down there

Soap and water is the way to go on matte paint.

C63 Black Series, Magno Alanite Grey
Beasleys

Buy the Matte Care care kit from Dr Beasleys, after that take it to any car wash with your own mitts and microfibers.

Ask for Jim, he should be able to take care of you.

http://www.drbeasleys.com/

Tell him Faraz with the Matte Silver black series sent you.
