At the end of May, my first car, a BMW 320i, arrived at my home. I have been driving it almost every day since then, but since I mainly drive it in town, the mileage has finally exceeded 1,500 km.
And whileNot washing the car at all.... (-_-)
It would be at the level of a donkey when my husband hears about it.You don't treat your car the way you should.I'm afraid I'm going to get angry with you...
It's a complete excuse.Let's go to the car wash this week.Only when I was thinking, "I've got to get out of the car," did I encounter a guerrilla downpour that cleaned the car slightly, or "I've got to get out of the car," I thought.I'd love to wash it, but now that we're in the rainy season, maybe another time.Time flies when you're thinking...
These days, "I say I'm going to hand-wash my hands, but I'm not going to.Heat over 35 degrees Celsiushas been going on, and on top of that, there are mosquitoes, so I don't really feel like washing it myself," he said, and two months have passed.
But as expected, after two months, the wheels were very dirty.
...I mean, wheels can get so dirty (phew!)!
I think the dirt on the wheels of this 320i started to show up quite early on after delivery. 'The sport model prioritizes good braking.Pads that tend to produce brake dust are used.I read on the Internet that "the first time I saw this, I thought it was too dirty," but as I expected, this is too dirty.
I guess I am too bad a driver.
So I finally decided to go wash my car the other day. Once again, I saw that not only the wheels but also the body was quite dirty.
As for washing the car, I usually ask a gas station in my neighborhood to do it for me.Friendly staff.And while I was asking him to wash my car.Waiting area with spacious single-seat sofa with WIFI connectionThey will let you wait comfortably at the Moreover, coffee and juice are served.
I thought about asking them to wash my car by hand again, but I thought it would be too expensive since it costs more than 5,000 yen, so I decided to first try an automatic coin-operated car wash to see if it would remove the dirt from the wheels.(Well, I thought it would be impossible...)
I remember when I had just graduated from being a paper driver, I was so nervous about even coming to the gas station alone that I had my husband follow me every time he was there... Now I can drive a manual car and come to the car wash by myself (laughs).
This time, the car wash was not just a regular shampoo.A course that provides careful cleaning of the lower part of the machine in addition to high-pressure cleaningI chose an additional The price was 1000 yen.
I know it's expensive for a coin-operated car wash, but still, it's got two months worth of dirt on it.
And finally, the car wash begins.
I always think about this when I am indoors during a car wash.
If I open the window now, I'll be in big trouble.
And. Of course, the engine is off, so pressing the button won't open the window, butI always fantasize about what happens when I open the window.Perhaps, per plus-minus Iwahashi, the temptation to open the window would really be too much to resist. w
The car wash was over in about three minutes, but being inside the car with the engine off under the blazing midsummer sun, I instantly began to break out in a sweat. My eldest daughter, on the other hand, was very excited and excited by herself, as if washing a car was a rarity.
And after washing the car, I checked the wheels to see what happened to them...?
Well, it's a little cleaner, but not completely shiny.(That's right.)Still, it looks like it has a lot of fine brush scratches. I guess I'll order a hand wash next time.
That said, the body is shiny as a whistle!
By the way, when I asked on twitter about how to remove dirt from the wheels, I received the following advice from everyone.
There are detergents that dissolve the iron dust on the wheels, and there are ways to coat the wheels to make them easier to clean, etc., etc. The biggest tricky part is...Make the wheels a shiny black color so you won't notice if they get dirty.and W
All European cars are dirty.Detergent that makes dirt flow just by spraying.I would like someone to develop a
The factory wheel cleaner is quite good. Please try it once.
I do it with dish detergent and army hands! One shot.
Genuine BMW is expensive and actually containsSONAX wheel cleanerSo if it's a Sonax, it's better because it's cheaper than the genuine BMW stuff! And by the way.SONAX wheel coatingIt's also good! It's super water repellent and stain resistant! However, if you touch it with your hand even a little, the coating comes off and it turns white a little, but it's a good product!
Please clean it up before it sticks. My car also suffers from the strongest amount of dust ever, even though it is a domestic car. I don't want to scratch it by washing too much, and I don't want it to be dirty. The struggle continues...
And so on....
After all, everyone is thinking the same thing. At the same time, you know a lot of things...I'm learning a lot. Since I'm here, I think I'll try to buy cleaners and detergents based on the advice I've received and see which one works best for me.
Maybe you can ask for a hand car wash afterwards.
I'm worried about the intense heat and mosquitoes, but I'll give it a shot.
