How often do you wash your 1? or plan to wash your 1?

I'll probably do it a lot at first, then it will taper off. Or perhaps I'll splurge and just have it professionally detailed once a month.

Anyone know how much those mobile detail guys cost? The ones that come to your work/home and detail your car right there on the spot?

This thread may end up being
moved to detailing and waxing.

But here goes... I always put on a serious polish and wax or protectant first. Then a weekly wash is a lightweight event. Griots and Zaino are my product choices.

i voted once every 2-3 weeks but the real choice i wanted was not listed. you should update the poll to include "as often as it needs it". i don't see the point in washing the car when it doesn't need it (e.g. weekly, no matter what) and i also am not afraid to wash it twice in a single week if it also needs it.

I agree with that, but I voted what I expect the average to be on this particular car. I also considered a quick clean-up to be a "wash", although quite frankly, I'm not sure it should count or not.

every weekend.

2-3 times a week. Jet Black and the AZ dust don't mix to well.

A Fast wash for me includes a quik rinse, hit the car with my foam gun, rinse, and blow dry with my chemical guys jet dryer.....wipe down with some Z-6...:biggrin:

Yes, my neigbors think I'm crazy:eyebulge:

but the car looks so dam good clean.....

Don't know how you can get away washing less often than once a week: The brake dust is incredible. My recollection from previous bimmers is that if you don't clean the wheels frequently, it gets much harder to clean them . ..

[kbimmer135i]

i wash my car every other weekend but the weekends that i m not washing it, i'll be cleaning the brake dust off the wheels.

u might think u don't need to wash it that often but a brand new car like that, it's hard not to keep it shinny!

I usually wash my car every weekend, but if it doesn't rain I'll wait two weeks sometimes.

Once a week in florida is a must with a black car. If it doesnt rain the pollen becomes a problem....Oh god...and the love bugs...dont get me started. I have a bottle of seafoam bug remover always in my trunk with a microfiber cloth.

I would clear bra the front to help protect against the bug attack

All depends on the season. During warm months 2 times a week. Winter? No answer.
