Re: Who's washed their car this weekend?
I clean my car on sat and let the kids wash the better halfs car afterwards. Swirl marks would be the least of my problems if the kids got near my car. They actually managed to scratch the passenger door glass on my old 328 using a halfords ice scraper!!

Re: Who's washed their car this weekend?
Washed both mine today, just a quick jetwash off followed by the 2BM on them then rinsed off with the old DI Vessel.
The X looks a lot better for it, the other just needed the bird mess cleaning off.
I have the job of doing a full detail on the E92 as I doesn't show many signs of being properly loved up to now.

Washed both the X and my wife's Golf on Friday. Both were snow foamed, 2 bucket method washed and then dryed off nicely. Then yesterday morning spent a couple of hours doing insides on both followed by the same treatment for both my mums Beemer and in laws motor too.
Today serviced and changed the brakes too on a Sprinter van. Tomorrow full service on an RRS and Corsa. It's been a good bank holiday weekend...lol

Did the wife's X5 yesterday. There's nothing more satisfying than having cleaned your own motor. Left the company car alone as booked in for a service so they can clean it!

No snow bit disappointed that the sun has disappeared again. Lifted my mood just being out in the sun so this relentless grey and cold is quite depressing!

Re: Who's washed their car this weekend?
All this talk of washing cars is getting me down! Still loads of snow with may roads around me single track and salt all over the place.

Can't see the car getting scrubbed anytime soon!
