I only hand wash and I've had the front grille done for about 3 weeks, so couldn't say. Other people have said it holds up to a pressure washer. Not sure about the harsher detergents in the touchless washes tho.

Don't sand! A, you dont need to, and B, that takes away one of the biggest advantages of Pdip--it's removable, if you ever wanted to go back to your original finish. Just spray a light coat on the first pass (look at my first bowtie pic), 50% transparency, and then you can build the rest of the coats on that

It holds up great even with direct pressure washing. I have had mine done for a several months and probably 10-15 trips to the car wash and have had no issues.

Used a microfiber towel and lightly dusted it away. Don't know what to call it but we kinda "fanned" or "swatted" the eraser bits off the the paint.

Thanks Carmine.
