G O R G E O U S!

Cant wait to get my hands on my car this weekend. Been spraying it off fairly often, but no weather to hand wash in a long time. I just cant bring myself to run it through a car wash.

PS - I hate states that make you use a front plate. That sucks!

Nice looking ride Lycan, I had my E63 washed on Wednesday to only have rain come in yesterday and today. Well tomorrow my C63 get a new pair of rubber. Then I will wash her.

might want to wait, sunday calling for rain again. I did the Opt No Rinse last Sat on one of the cars. Then rains yesterday. At least the rain washed the road salt off my other car.

Sold - 05' E55
AHHH It's been raining all day today in my neck of the woods and that only means as soon as it stops I'm take a spin in the 55.
I think its been a 2 or 3 months since my last ride.

Doesn't your dealership offer free courtesy washes, all the dealerships in the DC area do

One good thing though, is that the rain that just came through, washed all the salt of the roads. Please God, no more snow or salt.

I wish. I'm originally from Miami and we had it there, 2 full details a year and a drive-through car wash 24/7 with your warranty card. When I first moved here, I went to the Norristown dealer and they tried to sell me a car cover and gave me a business card of a car wash down the street...

Dam, sorry to hear about that. I'm familiar with Norristown, but there has to be another dealership near by?

Most times my girlfriend will take one of the AMGs to be washed, but due to the hours that I work, I get make it there before 4pm. So I take it to the local car washes most times. These courtesy washes are a benefit to the dealership, while your car is being washed you stroll through the showroom floor and pick out your next AMG.

Nice looking E63.

Our winter weather sucks, but it's the price you pay for living in paradise.

There is Ft. Washington, but they don't offer a wash either. Then there is Cherry Hill, which does. (My preferred stealership in the area) But, It's about an hour away. At a whooping 10 MPG in my beast, I'd rather spend $45 locally.. haha

My mother lives in Pennsauken NJ, and I have had my car washed at the dealership in Cherry Hill. When they bought my car back after the wash, it was still wet, they told me that there water is filter, and will dry leaving no water spots. Yeah right, I wiped the my car down in their parking lot. Cherry Hill has a nice dealership by the way.

I wasn't buying that excuse either. I can't explain why some MB dealers wash for free and others not. They should all offere it as a courtesy to all MB owners.
