Do a thorough detailing once a month with 2-4 layers of wax. Wash every 1 to 2 weeks. Rewax front bumper every wash, which make it much easier to keep the bumper clean since the debris just falls off.

As far as winter cleaning goes, I just wear gloves and brave it. Friggin cold though.

 

you could try a touchless wash and then just drive out as the dryer turns on and dry it by hand when you get outside....although i've never tried this...try at your own risk lol

 

 

Good ideas!

There needs to be a indoor car wash center, thats heated, TV's wouldnt hurt either, maybe some club music, girls in bikinis. I would wash and wax my car every day!

 

Wth does that mean!!!! Our new W&W moderator should be more help than that.

 

 

i have never been a fan of touchless washes... they will leave behind lots dirt in your paint. hand washing with a sponge is the only way to fully get it off, especially with all this garbage they keep putting on the roads this time of year.

not to mention you can't wax after going thru one of those... i'd only use a touchless wash if i didnt have time and just wanted to get salt stains off. def don't use them all winter.

 

I go to the spray place and get the worst off all the time, never use their brush though, and han wash when I can with warm water and rewax. It is painful seeing my car so dirty but it would hurt more not to drive it as much

 

Do you have access to a garage?

 

my S came with a color option....4 months out of the year it's GPW and the rest it's NFR haha
