How often do you wash your 2?
just curious how often you guys wash your vehicles, and the type of wash you do (i.e. hand wash, touchless car wash, "regular" car wash etc etc).

Every Saturday morning at a local hand car wash. It seems to be a very popular place for BMW owners, there is always several other Bimmers besides mine getting washed there.

To often.... But probably Once a week. Unfortunately the weather lately in Sweden has been shit so there has been no point in washing it.
During the winter i don't even drive it then it just stays still in the garage. Not worth the pain in the as washing during the winter season. |

When it's dirty. About once a week. Sometimes less sometimes more. Depends on the weather. It has a nice coat of Swissvax Resilience on it so dirt doesn't stick very well at all.

Usually every weekend during the summer by hand, if it's not too dirty then just the foam cannon + mitt + rinse bucket, otherwise foam cannon + 2 bucket. In the early winter it's through the touchless a few times, during the mid of winter I get a touchless wash pass which technically allows for a wash every day but it's usually through every weekend unless it's too cold.

Once a fortnight depends on how dirty... Use soft gel wash. Prefer something soft, as it's not actually that great washing the car so often.
Once a week is max anyone should wash their car unless you detail, Polish and wax you car

I wash wayyy to often now that I use a waterless car wash. two bucket system, super easy to do. I do the whole car in about 10 mins. And depending how I feel, top it off with a layer of spray wax.

I wash mine once a week with HP spray and spotless rinse. I also use 3M Imperial Hand Glaze once to twice a month. This takes out the tiny minute scratches and leaves the finish like glass. It is easy to use and most parts stores carry it or you can order it online. Try it...I have won many plaques/trophies at car shows in the past.

I wash mine once every 2-3 weeks, if it's raining I'll leave it until the weather forecast tells me it will be sunny
