Do you take your m3 to a hand car wash or wash it yourself?

Gstone · 10-16-2014, 11:14 AM

Wash it myself

Almost always myself or a few select detailers I know will take same care as I do with it

paul @ eas · 10-17-2014, 07:02 PM

Myself because I don't trust their scrub that they are using on my car.

Touch free and dry myself.

I do touch free when it's really dirty and don't have the time to wash. Prefer hand wash and wax myself Tho.

Like this, some of these could be in your area. Some people are concerned with the type of soap/etc they use but to each their own.

From my experience they are not very good at removing all the dirt but a good alternative when you can't hand wash. I usually do a few by hand and get a good coat of wax applied then use these once in awhile. I do not notice that it strips the wax off after a few washes.

always wash it myself, its a labor of love

For those of you self washing, what soap do you use for maintenance washes?

Gstone · 10-20-2014, 10:57 AM
