NOVA: Suggestions for self car wash location
I just picked up my e90 last week and it's slowly starting to pick up dust/pollen, not to mention all the brake dust and bird droppings.
I'm in between places now and currently don't have a driveway to wash my car. Needless to say, I want that fresh, straight off the dealer look again!! Anybody know of a good place in the DC metro area that I can wash my car? Thanks guys!

I'd rather wash your car by hand in a ballerina outfit, than see another beautiful e9x car with swirl marks from the local car wash... And in case that scares people...there's a good self wash place in Sterling...

PM DC metro resident detail guru Shimshimhada for a hand car wash ($35)
 A lot of us get our zaino detailing done by him but he also does maintenance washes. I can't stop recommending his services...

If you are closer to the Tysons/Fairfax area, there is a place in front of Ihop that you can wash it your self-wash for 5 mins for 3 bucks, it takes me two rounds so ($6); just bring your own rag so you dont use theirs.
If you take any drive thru washing place they will kill your rims. |

Unfortunately I learnt that the hard way moving to aftermarket wheels  It doesn't matter what they claim (i.e. plastic coated rails etc etc), curbing will occur.

If you're thinking of doing the zaino package you better get a hold of him quick, he's getting booked up full ahead of the big meet
