I hand wash at home with Ph balanced Adams products and ensure I air dry with my leaf blower (lol).
would love to wash my car at home, but I live in an apartment that has a no wash rule.

I normally use the coin opp car wash down the street late at night. So I can bring my bucket and not have people honking at me while I try to wash the car LOL.

My other option, the one that broke the badge, uses no machines. And they have a really good rep with the exotic car crowd here in the Bay Area. When she was out front getting dried she sat with a Ferrari, a Maserati, and a Carrera. Won't mention the Kia in the line as well LOL

Depending on the level of dirt you accumulate you could use the AMMOnyc kit https://www.ammonyc.com/shop/hoseless-lift-kit-150/. I use it in my garage when the car isn't very dirty, or I don't feel like getting everything wet.

I have used this on a number of customer cars, including a Ferrari F430 with 600 miles so I'd say it's safe.
