1M on way to Canberra - where to clean

After a busy 6 months with only 2000km achieved, I am on my way from Adelaide to Canberra (and later to Sydney) in the 1M. Should arrive Canberra late tomorrow morning (Saturday). Where is the best place to have it cleaned?

Driving at 110-120 under light load, the drone is aweful.

I've done this trip twice before - once in my first GT3 back in '99 in a journey filled with great noises and smells, and no drone. Second time in '08 in my MB S500 in a journey with no noise or smells, and no drone.

There is so much good about the 1M that I am hoping to find a cure.

Best wishes to all.

thoz.

Thoz hi, the best of an average bunch is Waves Carwash, two locations in Canberra (my preference of the two is Gungahlin) where I get my Cayman/M3/1M washed weekly.

Thanks Alpine,

I am staying a few hundred metres from the Braddon location but had spare time and went to Gungahlin.

Did see a tidy VO 1M in Bunda Street, Civic. Local car "CR".
