When it gets bird $h_t, dirt, debri, bugs, tar, or anything else that may damage the paint if it sits too long. Or if you have a hot date.

jonerik26 · 05-30-2007, 03:12 AM

OC Guy · 05-30-2007, 03:43 AM

Nothing wrong with washing the car. New cars get washed all the time at the dealer.

Some people argue that the car shouldn't be waxed for awhile so as to let the paint cure. Yet others argue that the car was painted some 2-3 months ago, so the paint has already cured and is ready to be detailed.

The BMW dealer washed my car before they delivered to me anyway, so what is different than you taking it for a wash?

MoreCowbell · 05-30-2007, 09:28 AM

A new car should have SEVERAL coats of Wax, As Soon As Possible

You let the dealer wash your car

You should just return the car - idiots shouldn't be driving bimmers

STFU... Go crawl back under you're rock...

Then learn to freaking Speak... "It is a dumb questions." What the hell?

Go play in traffic or something.

BUT, you are dead on about idiots should NOT driving BMW's You need to sell yours immediately...

To the OP, Point is do some searching here and you'll find everything you need to know about washing your new car. FWIW Alpine White is pretty damned easy, but that being said my passenger side is Spider webbed all to hell from the last time the dealership Molested... I mean Washed it.
