I never bother.. all my cars remain unwashed for 3 months at a time and then get washed... I just take it to local car wash where the great chaps use a couple of Jet Wash and Sponges...

It annoys me when the sun shines on it and you see these swirl marks, just doesn't look right to me and easily avoidable....My wife walks the dog, I was the car, no time lost from life

My annoyance is indeed my opinion, hence I stated that it annoys me I would have thought that doesn't require debate
Regarding getting swirl marks, nope that is not an opinion, it is a simple measurable fact.

Good luck
I used to use a 'snow foam lance' but recently (well before winter to be honest) switched to a non foam degreaser and found it is much more effective in my experience.
The Valet Pro Citrus Pre-Wash is fantastic. Throughout the winter I just spray it on with a hand pump spray, then simply hose the car down with a (low) pressure washer....Job done. Worked very well. I can highly recommend that.

I meant soap in the foam-cannon, not degreaser , my bad!. I completely agree that degreaser works best as a spray-on. Mine will have get a glass-coat once it arrives!
I notice that the chrome trims on your lower bumper grille look totally different than the ones found on a stock GLC43; where they cover the whole area of the fins instead of only the vertical area. Are those trims aftermarket?

Here in North Carolina USA, I think we are more concerned with being anxious for Spring to end, specifically the tree pollen season, to wash that yellow coating off our GLCs once and for all for the year! :-)

Thanks!
Nope, the car is all stock. At least that's how I got it :P

Isn't that always the case....Look on the bright side, it will show off the beading nicely...
