Getting car detailed

How often should you get your M3 detailed?

I usually detail my car every week. I like to keep my ///M3 clean.... even during rain lol

I really like detailing my M3...

...gives me the opportunity to look very closely at the subtle interplay of line and surface...

The M3 is a very cool shape ....

Ditto!

Getting it detailed once a week, that get pricey. Detailing cost like $50-95

if you're paying that little, you're probably just paying for swirl marks. wash it yourself once a week depending on how much you drive it if you want to keep it in great shape. check out autogeek.net for some good information on detailing.

Yes, i wash it every week. I know someone who does mobile detailing and will detail my car for like $70 each time full complete detail. http://www.autogeekonline.net/ does it have info on detailing yourself or?

autogeekonline.net is their forum, there's a good forum here on bimmerfest you should check out if you're looking for a forum. i was referring to their how-to's: http://www.autogeek.net/detailingtips.html

what does the guy do for $70? i'd guess he's not doing much more than what you're doing once a week for that price... who knows though, in obama's economy people are desperate for any work they can get.

He does the complete detail interior/exterior, he usually charges $120, but is doing it for that price to get more business in and to get repeat customers. Yes, obama has made the economy worse.

Well, i mean is it best to get a full detail interior/exterior like every 3 months? Then wash your car every week? Every week as people are saying for a detail is not right.

is he claying the car when he details it? applying wax/sealant? this is why i was asking what he does, when the guy i took my car to after getting back from ED detailed it, he clayed it and applied a sealant. that is most assuredly unnecessary on a weekly basis. you can go several months between something that extensive depending on how much you drive the car and how frequently you properly wash it.

Check that... Yes, so every 3-4 months would be fine for a complete detail, and then hand washing your car weekly.

impressive, if the guy does a good job i'd probably have it done every other month at least and save myself the hassle. certainly every week on all that is going to be overkill.
