    Oh man I have a GLA 2021 same color but amg line not amg engine and after my research online two months ago I also ended up buying the exact same products for cleaning, the matte paint wash and the detailer spray from Chemical Guys is the way to go. I even bought the same sponge same color. Shiny, no marks and fabulous after every wash! Indeed you don’t need to apply a lot of the spray sealant ;)
    Looking forward to a video of yours for interior cleaning, especially products for the nappa steering wheel, the artico leather and the screens !

    Nicely explained and great production quality. Down the line, can you do a video on the differences between the 45 and 45s? I ask because we don’t have the S variant in North America

    • @SeanyMacks
      @SeanyMacks 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The only difference is the tune. The 45 has less power because the gas in USA is considered lesser quality than in Europe... so Mercedes detuned it for USA and Canada.

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Thank you! Yes its a shame you cant get the 45s in NA :( The non s 45 is still an amazing car though! I think In NA you have to spec an amg performance pack to get race mode etc.

    i get my cla with this matte finish next week and i still dont know how to wash it since here in germany its not allowed to wash your car at home, you need to go to a washbox or car wash... and even at a wash box you usually cant bring your own stuff... :D

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Ah! As long as you don't use anything abrasive or with any added wax it should be ok. Best option is a pure shampoo of they have them at the washbox

    My AMG because of the frameless doors just seems to drip water continuously from the bottom of the frame. I love washing my car, but drying it is an absolute nightmare, as there seems to be drips constantly from the door frames from the side mirrors.

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  ปีที่แล้ว

      Hi Carl, this happens with a lot of coupes/nice shaped cars. You can get heated air dryers/blowers that do an amazing job at getting water out of panel gaps, mirrors etc. There's a company called bigboi that specialize in air dryers designed for cars. Worth having a look into ibigboi.com/

    • @ABAUTOAMG

      Hey, I did think about it but overall it was very expensive and I really wanted to see how well the Matte paint would do without anything to create some honest experience videos on it since there's so much conflicting Information online. I do highly recommend PPF though.

    I prefer not to use mits and sponges over my matte paints, ever. I only soap with a machine, jet watering and then air blowing to get the chassis and rims to get dried up... and done! Else, you start to "polish" your paint by sponges and such. I own an A45S, enjoy yours.

    • @ABAUTOAMG
      @ABAUTOAMG  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Hey Atalay, What soap do you use with this method if you dont mind me asking? I have tried a few and they never properly clean the car, looks great till I dry it! I've only had success using some of the stronger and harsher chemicals but I'd be worried using these on the matte paint. Cheers, Adam

      Hi Shin, No problem! I'm now using a Nilfisk Core 140 (amzn.to/3pyGcGe) with the Nilfisk foam gun (amzn.to/3pyZmMc). The pressure washer does come with a foam fun but It's not great. The one I linked above is so much better and creates a nice foam. I upgraded to the Core 140 because It has such a long hose reel. I don't have to use any extensions now which really speeds things up!

    Good video but I take it you live where it’s motorways and dual carriageways rather than country B and minor roads because the car looked like it was barely dirty, if you lived rural that car would be filthy after a week and way more caked up with mud and road crud, one day on rural Lincolnshire roads and that would be mud city.
