the two bucket method is ok, but it is not the safest way to wash your car. just use one bucket and every time before you dip it back into the wash bucket, pressure wash the mitt even with a garden hose. this removes ALL the crap. after the pressure wash inspect the mitt and if ok then squeeze the water out of it and then dip it into the wash bucket. No swirls gauranteed. also your drying technique is ok but can be better. i recommend using an electric leaf blower, then a good quality microfibre to dab what remaining water is left.
Good tips, great video and thanks. Question… have you done a video on servicing the PDK as I'm keen to do this myself on my 981 Cayman. Is the Clutch fluid in with the PDK fluid or is it in with the Diff fluid? I think there is only 2 fluid types needed? Hope you can help me understand how Mr Porsche put this together. Not sure how often the previous owner used the Launch Control so a PDK fluid change is on my list to do.
Yeah thanks very useful.👍
Very practical advice for the wear spots, thank you 👍. Ever consider an aluminum skid plate to protect the front lip from "parking" incidents?
What a brilliant video the best I’ve seen yet unfortunately seen it a bit late after drain hole blocked & water under the drivers seat & roof doesn’t go down 🤦🏻♂️
Question, that bleed nipple part you listed, does it come with 1 piece or 4 pieces?
Great video , any news videos planned?
Very informative and useful
Good job 👍
