First Wash

[Westchester Air]

Picked up a "foam cannon" and gave my new AT it's first wash. Gotta say...those things work pretty well!

Yeeeesh....the Lucid is a hot looking car.....

Looks great. Mine is two weeks old. and haven't had weather to hand-wash yet.

Two runs through the car wash and I'm learning the tricks to drying it. Lots of water builds under the trunk lid and you have to get as much as you can from the outside then open the trunk and wipe down all the surfaces. Otherwise it will drip out and give you water stains.

Here...just north of NYC, it's rained almost every day since I took my AT home (about two weeks ago).

Yes...I know a lot of people are using leaf blowers(!) just not sure I want to get that crazy. That said...I'm already probably half crazy with this car, so who knows

How can you not look at your car after a hand wash and not think it was totally worth it??? Beautiful car - wonder how long before you start accumulating assorted car products like me?

Exactly. First the foam cannon, then the microfiber towels and gloves…what’s next?

But look how it looks after washing LOL.

What “assorted products” have you already accumulated? (Maybe I shouldn’t ask )

Gave mine her first wash a couple weeks ago. Been raining all week so in desperate need of another.

I'm also eagerly awaiting the availability of the new Ryobi high flow automotive pressure washer.

Until then I'm just using a hose sprayer, microfiber towels and 2 buckets.

Hahahaha....too late, pandora's box is open!
Random orbital polisher, various car shampoos and waxes. Including hybrid ceramic waxes, graphene waxes, and older stuff (klauss) that I used on other cars. Then there's the clay bars, various brushes for the wheels, wheel products and cleaning and protection products for the interior. PPF helped decreased the frequency that I detail the car - a lot of work but always worth it!

My deliveries of Adam's Polishes products have increased exponentially since I got my Touring - which looks identical to the OP's in t!at beautiful Zenith Red

I love my Active 2.0 pressure washer. One of them with an upgraded foam cannon would do you quite well. If you don’t want to spend the extra on their accessory bundle, I’d at least recommend a 50’ hose like a Flexzilla or Uberflex, an Active or MTM foam cannon, and some quick disconnects. I also recommend The Clean Garage as a great store to shop for your car detailing supplies. They carry everything you need and often have sales.
