I hand washed my car after 10pm tonight. Yeah, I've got 1er issues. :smile:

Saphire1 · 05-28-2008, 11:38 PM

haha.. I think I'm going to wash mine before I leave and when I come home.. lol

Bizall · 05-28-2008, 11:42 PM

I'm sure I'll be a bit anal too once she gets here tomorrow. Nothing wrong with showing some love to our babies.

PrimoM3 · 05-29-2008, 12:16 AM

I washed mine twice in about a 5 hour period the day after I picked her up. I also washed it a couple of days ago while it was raining! Gald to know I'm not the only Looney Tune...

Rearro · 05-29-2008, 01:33 AM

Oh YEah!!!
Well I woke up a 2am due to my newborn son needing milk, So I got him fed and changed and went out to the garage washed and put 16 coats of wax on my 1'er!!!

LMAO!!!!

( Just a Joke, I would much rather sleep especially with a newborn in the house!!)

jerico68 · 05-29-2008, 01:54 AM

I woke up this morning, washed my 135i and my 96 Camry (winter car), went for a drive, unfortunately parked under a tree and got tree sap all over my car. Had to rush home do another wash before heading out for dinner.

Dan203 · 05-29-2008, 03:19 AM

I haven't got my 135i yet but the last time I washed my PT Cruiser was in November.

I do want to keep the 135i clean so I'm thinking about making a regular appointment with a local detailer. I just don't have the desire to wash it myself all the time.

You WILL. While it's still brand new. It's all part of curing yourself after that horrible "wait".

bski · 05-29-2008, 07:58 AM

detail small pieces at different times on trips out to the garage, eventually the whole car is done.
Black is soooo hard to keep clean!

Yeah, I read somewhere at somepoint that it hurts the paint if you wash it when the paint is warm (sun), so I usually wash it at night or first thing in the AM.

larryn · 06-03-2008, 01:09 PM

I drove from Philly to my house, got there at 1:30am, unpacked the car, reconfigured it for autocross, then washed the car at 3:30am, then took a shower and left for autocross. So, in lieu of grabbing some shut-eye, I opted to pull and all-nighter and wash the car.

Sounds like a common theme here!
