Here’s my freshly cleaned G31, am currently using Turtle Wax Hybrid Solutions & very happy with the results.
Gave it a double rinse & bucket wash followed by a spray with ceramic wet wax & dried with the big Meguiars mf towel yesterday & then gave it a coat of ceramic wax polish this morning, still got to clean the wheels & give the bodywork a wipe down with a damp mf cloth to activate the shine polymers

& wipe off with the mf detailing towel.

I miss those blue brakes for how easy they were to clean around.

Optimum spray wax was one of the most impressive products I’ve ever used. Shame they didn’t stay relevant in the industry.

So whats your gravel routine when it gets dry and dusty?

I use battery powered ryobi blower in the trunk to blow it off at end of long gravel driveway then go on my way. Gets 90% of dust off...but dang.

as I'm just now at 1200 miles, I've yet to get a blower, but it's in the plans. If it does not rain, I put up with the gravel dust for a week, then break out the foam cannon. If I creep at 5-10 mph, I won't raise the billowing cloud...lol. It's gravel for a quarter mile driveway.

Always clean, but will be trying the BMW nano wax on my matte paint once I research it a bit more.

malvern_man · 05-31-2023, 06:35 PM

Here's mine...washed yesterday.

Hey thanks! I never got into the whole shampoo thing, I just always wash/dry my cars in my backyard driveway with clean absorber shammies. It's good enough for me.
