Washing
Do you guys wash your GLS yourself?
I washed mine for the first time and boy this is a lot of vehicle. I will certainly be visiting my dealer more often for the free car wash they offer.

I always say that to myself but I still wash it obviously weather permitting as I live in Chicago.Again it depends on Color if its Black then no way I am taking my car to the dealership or any xyz car wash... As Black is not a color its a commitment.
Thanks

Yeah I wash my own. I mostly use Turtle Wax Ice Wash and Wax with the Nanoskin autoscrub (claybar alternative). The waxing, I do the spray wax.
I sometimes let the dealer do it for free, but when I get it back, there are dew and watermarks.

This is because the dealer does not dry the car thoroughly.

Love my dealership, and they’re really great. But there’s no way they can ever clean my car as well as I do. It’s quite simple; they don’t have a love affair with her the way I do. Not their fault of course—it’s just the truth 🤓. Just look at her. That’s a labor of love ❤️.

Say the same all the time.. Its big but my cars have never seen the car wash. I use my 3 foot ladder to get the roof, use meguires wash and clay once in a while with a Chemical Guys spray wax.. Once a year I polish and wax looks as good as it did when I got it from the dealer new.
