I can only surmise it was the dealer (when they washed my car after the service on Tuesday).

David, are you free sometime next week to have a look to see what you can do?

I'm free Saturday afternoon, if you just want me to check it out. If they are light, then a one-step polish should be able to take them out.

Shim, any news on that follow-up maintenance program?

My car hasn't left the garage since...it's too pretty to drive

bavarian19 · 09-18-2006, 05:30 AM

I know that my car has not been washed in 5 weeks

This is the longest duration my car has gone without a wash

Yeah, I just made it $35 for a maintenance wash for now. I might might a one-month, two-month, etc. program for a discount price per wash later.

What does the maintenance wash cover? What will your winter hours be? $35 is fair, you can count on me for at least a once-a-month contribution.

A full exterior wash/Z6 wipe down. I might do a wash/paste seal maintenance thing too. I have to fidget around to figure out how I want to do this.

No vacuum/interior wipedown included? What about one of those hanging pine-fresh air fresheners....

tman · 09-18-2006, 09:00 AM

Sounds good David. I'll give you a call early next week. I'll be up for a Maintenance wash as long as you include interior window and dash wipe down.

shimshimhada · 09-18-2006, 10:58 AM

I guess I could do a wipedown of the interior and vacuum for dust and dirt. The interior windows maybe, I just hate doing the windshield and the rear window, especially on BMWs.

KL2DC · 09-18-2006, 11:01 AM

Shim...awesome!!

How much notice would you need for the maintenance washes? Your place ok?

A week? After that we can set up a regular plan and whatnot. I can do weekday washes for just maintenance washes, cause it doesn't take that long.

KL2DC · 09-18-2006, 11:24 AM

Awesome...can you accomodate night-washes?

How late? I prefer to finish any washes before 9PM.

Was thinking of late evenings, after work...but you're right, weekends will work better

Thanks.

Just wanted to say that Dave did an outstanding job on my car today. I had my car washed, clay bar treated, polished and, sealed. Car looks great! Dave, I'll definitely be giving you another call. Also if you took any pictures, feel free to post them.

Thanks again

I took about 40 pictures, I'll post the best ones. I actually got home just 20 minutes ago. Grand total of 11 hours.

It was due to my own laziness though. I think I can do the same job in 6 hours, if I push myself.

When I get the paste wax, I'll put on a coat for free the next time I come over.

Thanks for your business!
-David

Do it. I have a Friday open in October...I think.

Some of you guys need to head over to the Canada section and tell them to get their cars cleaned. Hosers.
