Mine goes to the touchless carwash tomorrow too. It's covered in rock- salt.

I think my neighbors think I am crazy because I wash mine 2-3 per week. Even if it will rain the next day. I have got it down to where I can do a good wash in 15 minutes. Now my wife, she knows I am crazy.

There is something great about driving a clean vehicle.

Woh, 15 minutes.
It usually takes me close to an hour to give my X a good cleaning, including inside wheel arches, inside of rims, all glass inside n out etc.

I'm currently experiencing an opposite type of problem re the weather. I can't wash early morning or in the middle of the day with little to no shade in my driveway and therefore wait till late afternoon when temp drops down to around 22deg cel. (74f).
Ah, you gotta love summer.

42C predicted for the next couple of days here, guess I might leave it till it cools down a bit.

Hey guys, for all of you die-hard car washers, I installed one of these at my house: Sill Faucets 12" outdoor faucet

It is an outdoor hot/ cold faucet - nice for washing cars in the cold and bathing the dogs (in warmer weather).

First E53 with 215s on XOutpost!!

i have a friend who actually rigged up his garage with a hot cold hose, and a heater.. he opens the garage doors a couple inches for the water to drain out. Perfect for the winter wash!

when i get my own house, that will be on my list
