    Wouldn’t you like your car to look clean and shiny as you have just paid for a professional car wash service? Although many people wash their car very often, not everyone are able to clean their car as well as professional detailers and car care centers (I mean the good ones). These are the exact 7 steps me and my team use to wash our cars and keep them shiny at all times.

    Step 1: Prepare the Tools and Products
    None of us get our tools last minute. We make sure we have all ready before we start. They include car wash shampoo, wash mitt, chamois or cotton cloth and 2 buckets. Never use a dish washing liquid and an old piece of cloth to wash your car (very damaging to car surface). Wash mitts are very good in capturing contaminants from your car.
    Step 2: Rinsing
    Start rinsing your car with a hose. Do not use strong water pressure to spray your car. This step is to loosen contaminants without any intention to wash off anything. It also lubricates the surface to avoid any damages while washing the car.
    Step 3: Preparing the Mixture
    Mix water and car wash shampoo in one bucket according to the instructions given by the manufacturer. Fill up another bucket with tap water.

    Step 4: Start with the Wheels
    Soak your wash mitt into the mixture and start washing your wheels. Every time you finish a wheel, rinse off the dirt into the bucket with plain water. Then soak it again in the mixture to wash the next wheel. Repeat the process until you finish all 4 wheels.
    Step 5: Car Body
    Use the same way to wash the car body. If you have an extra wash mitt, I recommend you to use it because wheels are much dirtier than car body. Using the same wash mitt might not be able to clean your car body effectively. Clean from the top to bottom.
    Step 6: Rinse Again
    Rinse the whole car with water again. Do not use strong water pressure to spray. If you want better results or you have not wash your car for a long time, repeat the process and wash your car for the second time.
    Step 7: Drying
    At this stage, you might be quite impressed with the results. This is the professional way of washing a car. Drying is also important because leaving your car to dry itself will form water spots that are very hard to remove.
    If you are interested in taking car care to the next level, use liquid cleaner wax and clay bar to clean it. Next, remove paint imperfections with polish and wax your car to protect the good work you have just accomplished.

    • The Audi RS3 is one of two ultimate ‘mega hatches’, and probably the best of the breed. Its astonishing pace and theatrical engine combine with huge grip and more of a driver focus than previous generations. It’s also a brilliant daily.

Are you parting with R1.3m (or more) for one? Let us know in the comments below.

    • Menacing Frozen Brooklyn Grey Metallic BMW M4 CSL sold by @bmwbryanston spotted in Linksfield recently by @thomasovitale 😎

Just 15 of these came into the country priced at R3.57m.

Would you prefer this or the freshly revealed M3 CS?

    • The BMW i4 M50 is quite possibly the best EV we have had the pleasure of testing.

It's superbly comfortable but at the simple touch of a button, it switches from tourer to tornado and you find yourself instantly doing speeds you should not be doing.

While not all EVs will have the same refinement or scintillating performance, this was both relaxing and thrilling to drive.

The Gran Coupé is a handsome car with a sense of sleek length and disguises its hatchback as a booted saloon rear end and that M Portimao Blue metallic paint certainly garnered a lot of positive attention.

Compared with the BMW iX it’s less of a show-stopper, but comes with a much more attractive price tag – and while the i4 is still quite the financial investment (R1,6m) we feel it gives you excellent value in return.

Yes, we did have a few charging issues (Eskom) and if you don't have a Wallbox charger at home filling up with petrol is MUCH easier. However, that being said if you’re looking for an outstanding driving experience both on the twisties and on the highway, this is definitely worth considering if you have decided to make the jump to the electric car.

    • The totally bonkers Ferrari 812 Competizione was spotted in Bryanston today by Brad Ainge.

It actually makes the F12tdf look quite tame in comparison. Which would you rather have?

Priced around R14m depending on spec.

    • Our time has come to an end with the most potent version of Mzansi’s favourite bakkie, the new Toyota Hilux GR-Sport.

The 2.8-litre turbo diesel powerplant has been tweaked to push out 165kW and 550 Nm thanks to an updated ECU which also responsible for the much needed revised mapping of the six-speed auto.

The sporty Hilux gets new monotube shocks as well as stiffer coil springs which make the bakkie a lot more settled at higher speed and provide great feedback on some of the twisty bits. If you don’t have a full load at the back however, you might find it a tad too stiff and rather twitchy for day to day driving. 

Inside you get a load of sporty touches including “carbon fibre” trim pieces but the highlight has to be the race inspired front seats complete with Alcantara inserts and some GR badging on the headrests. 

For the Hilux customers, this is a welcome addition to the range as the exterior and interior aesthetics align very neatly with the GR brand.

Yours from R891,400. Are you picking this or the Legend RS?
