I don't think any BMW dealer will ever polish a car. Unless it has something that needs correcting. They will usually just add some basic protectant... Or expensive basic protectant if you opt for seal and protect...
Polishing and waxing are two separate parts of a detail. Polishes work on the paint to smooth and cleanse. Waxes and sealants protect a pre-prepared surface. Edit, just quickly washed my car as it was assaulted by seagulls... The basic protection is already showing signs of washing off! Hopefully I can do it properly soon...

Hi walesy
Noticed from reading through the detailer forums you seem to have a lot of knowledge about what's best and how to look after your car properly. I have had my new estoril blue msport for about three weeks now and wanted to ask you if you know of any trustworthy car washes in the Glasgow area. I know, by hand is best and car washes should always be avoided, but wondering about decent hand wash places. I do a lot if miles per week. I live in Bearsden, washing my car by hand myself isn't easy as I don't have a driveway, it generally requires me to wash it on the main road. Thanks for any help and advice you can offer. |
