LiamGTR Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Jet wash rinse ftw.That's what it ended up being, the "warm shampoo" button took all the rubbish off the bottom of the car/in the arches in no time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TC-DNB Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Using car washes at garages FTW..You dont want a massive ice patch around your car to help neighbours slide into you. Yeah that's what u was going to say. They've just installed one down the road from me. Not a crap drive through thing but a proper do it yourself job. If you're quick you can rinse, hot soap and wax for £3 and it actually comes out really well. Then just hoover and clean interior at home. I gave my girlfriends car a full valet on Sunday but didn't think about garage. Froze my nuts off on the drive and annoyed the neighbours lol Wish I'd never offered but was worth it later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andyb0127 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Same jet wash my escort once a week no matter what weather is, take my tfr and rinse aid to garage with me (tfr is only used on wheels and under wheel arches to keep them clean) did mine today in the snow wife thinks I have OCD cleaning cars in this weather lol.........

andaba Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I haven't washed the BMW in about 3 months. All the paint is falling off anyway - at least the dirt and rust is a more even colour.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
