Curiously do u guys ask the dealers to leave the stickers and tape on the car when delivered? In 2017 when I was taking delivery of my fk8 I told them to leave the tape and stickers on. Didn’t even want them to touch it. I drove home and detailed myself. Then took to a shop to get expel.

Depends on the dealer whether they will do this or not; most prefer to do this as part of their PDI.
That said, dealers are aware this is a special car and will incur special circumstances. Can't hurt to ask.

Was filling up the air diffuser at home one day, then it hit me...why not use this for the interior of the car? Never went back.

Grab a few bottles of orange & lemon essential oil, 10-20 drops on a clean microfiber cloth, soak with water and squeeze to distribute through. Detail away! Orange oils work great on leather and smell is 100% the real deal. When your car heats up, fresh oils will continue to release into the cabin.

Morning gents

Friendly reminder to ask your dealer not to drill on the front plate on your fl5

Factssss, I wish I could have done this for my FK8 but NJ is very annoying about not having front plates

Friendly PSA to keep your microfibers washed and clean.

Oh and for others in areas with hard water, and when stubborn water spots eventually begin to appear, vinegar is a good option. If that doesn't work, have had great experience with Meguire's Ultimate Compound. Use with clean polishing pads.
