Help: accidentally got car wash engine cleaner on M3
Guys,
I took my '05 M3 through one of those self-service manual car washes to get travel dirt off the car and, well, I accidentally got that green engine cleaner all over the trunk deck lid and quarter panel. I thought the knob was set on high pressure soap and it was loose so before I realized it, i blasted it on the paint. I immediately washes it with high pressure water and then soaped it and rinsed again. I guess I just need reassurance that the paint will be okay for a few days before I can wax it. Any long-term bad effects? Will it look normal after a polish and wax? I really appreciate your help and suggestions. Yeah, I know I screwed up. Thanks. Patrick |

Engine cleaner may be slightly harsh but paint safe. There's also paint in your engine bay remember? Just assume your coating/wax is gone tho.

I'm pretty sure it's all the same foam at those places, no matter the knob setting. You're fine.
