Washing the f355

I use the master blaster too. I don't know how you can properly dry a 355 without it! So many places for the water to sit and hide including under the easy to rust door sills!

 

Pro tip: Keep a few of those little mylar foil emergency blankets in your front boot, along with some electrical tape. That way, if you are ever out driving and God forbid it rains or there are lawn sprinklers along your route, you can quickly pull over and cover your engine so it doesn't get moist. The mylar will withstand the heat unlike a vinyl shower curtain or garbage bag. Also handy if you are fatigued from your spirited drive, you can just pull over and take a cozy nap.

Hi guys. I kept my rossa corsa spider for 14 years and only washed it for the first year. Then a mate told me he has only ever washed his Lamborghini , with dry wash type products and I followed suit. To be honest I never took the car out if the roads here in the UK were really bad so it never got really filthy. What I was t keen on was hosing the car down, and thenafter leathering it off I would still have water laying in areas I can't get to , and then back in the garage. Rust was my biggest fear, and I did have a couple of spots when it went. That said, the bodywork was fantastic. I found the dry wash products fine and now use them on my grey 458. But that is quite a bit friendlier when it comes to showing swirls or scratches

 

if one is concerned about excess water in unseen areas (and the possibility of rust) the simple answer is to just drive the car on the highway after the car wash.....in a few minutes any water will have evaporated.

 

Very true!!

 

Thats kinda what I do. Stay around 60moh for 5 min.

 

Excellent advice if you live in Texas or other sunny climates. Here in the uk you need a week of dry weather before the roads start drying from the drain off from farmers fields. Different story in the town. If I washed my car and then drove it out I would be washing it again when I got back. Not many weeks here without a day of the wet stuff

 

Atleast you have the nice twisty roads
