The Costco towels are good for drying the exterior? They look like they would give off a lot of lint.

How much do you pay? Does it include the interior?

Well yeah.

But even if I washed it at home, I wouldn't be replacing rags and such.
Costs too high

After you go off every weekend or every other weekend. you're not as picky lol

My paint though, looks great. I can see swirls in other cars, but not really in mine (I think it's cause I'm Mineral White, I had a lot more when I had AW)

$17 with tip included

or $12 at another place if I want to be cheap (owner has a modded M3 but I don't want to go back there anymore)

It has an interior wipe down and such

If I want, I can pay my friend $30. He does a wash and a coat of wax on it. Takes him 2 hours or so to do and he does a great job. But $30 is pretty much double 17 so I don't like doing it that often lol
Yeah I'm cheap like that :P

I hate drone too

WesleyC · 08-26-2011, 10:26 AM

I wash my mits/towels before every wash.

I'll admit that I do take my SUV to the Costco car wash. It sits outside most of the time so there is no point in spending a lot of time washing it only to have it get dirty in 2-3 days. I would take it to nice, hand wash place, but I've yet to find a good one around here.
