How often do you wash your E90 ?

Bobo · 08-20-2005, 10:47 AM

Once a week for me

deutschmann59 · 08-20-2005, 11:06 AM

I usually don't set a time. I've only washed my car twice since I bought and brought it home in May. It hasn't gotten very dirty since we've had a heat wave and very little rain here. But, this weekend so far has been pretty rainy, and I think it'll be time again for a wash soon.

BellasBmw · 08-20-2005, 11:10 AM

Ive had my car for 6 weeks, and ive washed it 3x. So i guess every 2 weeks, or unless its real dirty in btw.

JVFan · 08-20-2005, 11:14 AM

When it needs it....ie. when it isn't crystal clean.

marcus330i · 08-20-2005, 11:15 AM

Bella...you lucky girl! My 545 (tiSilver) was only washed every 2 or 3 weeks unless it rained and got really dirty sooner. My black car needs it once a week and that's after car dusting lightly every night!! uggggg

I wash it once a week. Got to keep the baby clean & pretty

Pangearox · 08-20-2005, 12:04 PM

every friday when i get home from work...

has to be spotless before she leaves the garage for the weekend!!!

NaTuReB0Y · 08-20-2005, 01:04 PM

So far, once a week........until my marginal utility goes down....

a burrito · 08-20-2005, 01:25 PM

every 2 weeks. waxing and washing take too much time to do every week.

cannonspike22 · 08-20-2005, 01:56 PM

i wash 2x a week, and wax 1x a week.
everything has to be oh-so-perfect

mduchesne · 08-20-2005, 01:59 PM

I get mine washed on Mondays at a car wash and detailed on Fridays at the car wash. Luckily they dont cost me anything. Thank you step dad for running 4 high end carwashes...

Easy......if you're willing to be his half-brother......

Broken1 · 08-20-2005, 03:24 PM

I was my car once or twice a week depending on my schedule. I just hate having a dirty car...it kills me. I like my car to be sparkly! I also park outside alot, so my car gets covered in all sorts of dust and pollen which drives me nuts aswell!!! :-)

It's dirty right now...probably wash it tomorrow!!

thrill30 · 08-21-2005, 03:09 PM

I wash mine once a week... but I wipe it with a microfibre cloth in between the washes.

nexus66 · 08-21-2005, 04:51 PM

With the amount of rainy days we get here in Scotland my car could do with a wash practically every day!!!!!! But I manage to contain myself to at least once a week - sometimes twice. Polishing has to be fitted in whenever the weather is nice at the weekends! Managed well so far though - the weather has been kind!

theclay · 08-21-2005, 10:22 PM

Once a week, black shows everything.
