Theres nothing worse than having a $2,000 dollar Swissvax detail with a two step polish and taking your car to Braman BMW (In Miami) and making sure they place on the work order " DO NOT WASH " and getting the car back with a receipt from a carwash that isnt touch-less.. Instant Swirl marks.. FML.. time to have a bill written up and sent to Braman for compensation. Lets not forget the joy ride they did!... they racked up 70 miles and dropped my gas tank from half to empty.. 8mpg found on the computer... WTF?!?

Correcting and polishing an 1er cabriolet, only to have the dealer kindly reinstall the swirls and defects. God bless their souls.

Last time I went to the dealer I took a bar of Ivory soap and wrote 'do not wash' on the window. Guess what!

Spending 4-5 hours washing, de-iron, seal, wax, dress tires and rubber trim etc….then the pollen decides to show up. I wanted to punch mother nature right in the vag for spawning this dusty crap.
Oh and bird poop on my soft top. Or the ultimate, bird poop literally inside of my car if the top is down.

That also goes for when leaving your car for service/warranty issues... leave a note inside the car with whats wrong. And also give your SA a copy. This way the Tech who will be working on your car will know what you are actually complaining about. Some SA's don't pass along important info to the Tech. Its also a good idea to talk to the tech who will be working on your car too.

For me it's the rain! Everytime I decide to clean the car it's raining later in the day.. About dealer wash I can't complain because the service is so bad they haven't even clean the car in 2 consecutive visits.

There's nothing worse than just washing your car and...
...then spending the better part of the day detailing the hell out of your 1er because you're in for a stretch of decent weather. You head out a couple of days later and forget to run the duster over her and you run into an unexpected short drizzle while you're out. You return home with a polka-dot splotched car thanks to the water interaction with the light coat of dust you for- got to remove. You get out the bucket and hose, kicking yourself in the ass the entire time. |

When someone else is driving your car and then someone in front of them uses the washer jets and then you see them using the washer jets on your own car.

Washed my car, then had a cold front come in the next day. Windows froze in the tracks, tires froze to the ground, trunk wouldn't open, door I had to yank open and then wouldn't shut from the pillar-less windows not moving. Had to drive around the block with the door half open until the car defroster was able to the door enough to get the window unstuck.
