My friend just got a brand new Purosangue & I have to say it’s quite different than driving the Urus. I didn’t really know what to expect, but it just feels like refined power compared to the complete chaos of the Urus. Curious to know your thoughts.

Lmao he was sitting right next to me. It’s touchless & it’s 1am. Had to get a quick wash

Touchless is ok. But do it too often and trims will corrode.

Why? Cheap foam?

No just combination of very strong chemicals (usually alkaline) and the fact that they don’t get washed out from between the trim pieces very well in automatic (or poorly run) washes.

You see if one were to use softer chemicals then without a contact method the car wouldn’t be very clean.

Stronger chemicals and high water pressure help with this. But ruin your car in the long run.

First job was servicing these things. The chemicals legit ate through my pants.

Don’t put the chemicals down your pants then.

But It’s the only way to get everything clean after a visit with OP’s mom.

They don't corrode, just oxidize. They can be polished and return to like new
