Car Wash?
I am sure I am going to get some grief for this... : /
I have owned my 1er for 3 months now and she has not been washed yet. Anyone have any recommendations for a car wash or detail person? Half of my fear has been I don’t' have accommodations to wash her at home and I am afraid to bring her to a carwash. Any advice would be appreciated!! |

Your decision not to bring it to a carwash is very smart! They typically do more damage than good... I am the owner of Unique Car Care and would be happy to wash/detail your 1-Series for you. I am located in Wakefield, MA, which is about 15-20 minutes north of Boston. Where are you located? Feel free to search my username on 1addicts, E90post or M3post to see some of my past work. Drop me a PM if you are interested in setting something up. ~Rick |

definitely don't let your 1 go anywhere near a commercial car wash, unless it's touchless. aside from the cheap, wax stripping detergents they usually use, you have no idea what kinda dirt covered soccer mom SUV went through before you

I have owned mine for over a year and have only washed it 2 times, I don't drive it during the winter months but it seems I still don't wash mine enough?
