Detailed every 2 weeks? Is there any paint left on the car?

Couldn't help it. Sorry... enjoy the S65. It is a luxurious monster on wheels.

tell me you both at least wash your car!!!

when i say detailed i mean that i am on a schedule with my detailer. the car is washed every week and every other week he picks what is needed...maybe it needs a clay or another coat of piano wax on it. i have a rotation of motorcycles and vehicles that he handles. he is not using a buffer on it every other week tearing the clear coat off. thanks for the comments. i am sure my car needed an advocate like you two. maybe i can pay you both to show up with the detailer and be the advocate for all the cars and tell the detailer what he should do next? how much do you guys charge for that? just kidding...thats what makes this board fun. i still need to find pictures to post.

Hey Mr San Deigo,

Touche'

I actually am very **** with my 07' S65. Every morning I spray a light mist of water on my wheels and with a microfiber towel clean the brake dust off. EVERYDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!.

Then every other evening I hose down the dust off the car and again with about six mirofiber towels wipe it down. On the windows I only use the shop paper towels you can buy from dozen roll pack from COSTCO. It's the only way I dry the glass. It's great therapy for me and very peaceful. Keep that S65 clean. What color did you get?

I only use 303 Aerospace Protectant on the rubber.

I thought you said you're in Europe right now (when you post story about your S65 beat the M3, sorry for being too nosy...). I'm surprised that they have Costco there as well ....
