Aren't you just swirling up your paint washing it so often?

Or are you doing touchless wash, I.e pressure washer and snow foam?

Nope doesn't swirl

Done properly

Detailer couldn't believe how good X5 was at 3 year old when I took it in for a correctional detail!

535boy, plates completely obscured, naughty naughty!

Combination of estate rear tailgate and the rear axle being driven always makes the back filthy. Mine is holding up well. Full detail in Dec plus brand new [winter] alloys incl two coats of SRP and four coats of Poorboys helps as the dirty doesn't stick as easily to lovely smooth waxed surfaces. Cleaned the rear windscreen by hand last night when I got home from work as the wiper is tiny and wiper-wash was still leaving it smeary.

Learned my lesson Oct 2010 bombing down the M1 at night after a long weekend in the Peak District with a truly filthy car, not bothering to use the rear wiper once, failing to see the police car come down a slip road and follow me..... oh and those famous last words to myself "those are not xenons so it won't be a police car"
