Default A8 Obsessive Cumpulsion - exhibit A

Just couldn't stand to see the A8 all salted up one minute longer 😱 15 degrees outside and it'll probably snow tonight, but had to do it...

I knew someone would comment on that 😱 No worries, I actually soaked that mit and squeezed tons of water onto each area before allowing the microfiber material to touch the paint. I also have a light touch when doing this, which helps...along with having a good ceramic and wax coating on the paint.

Turned out fine 👌🏻

Okay, I feel better. Glad to see I'm not the only one who does the inside of the wheels, the car is looking very sharp. Shame it'll get dirty again so soon.

Thanks. Yeah, going out to dinner tonight, so it'll probably get mucked up again. Hoping with it so cold, that there won't be wet slush and everything will be iced up...so maybe the car will stay relatively clean tonight. Hope springs eternal 🙄

Nice looking car there. Did you do something to the exhaust?

That's the factory outlet for the 4.0t. Unless you're referring to that he cleaned it, something a lot of people ignore.
