Your BMW is not just a car. It's a luxurious, high performing vehicle. It deserves the best care and attention. If you're wondering how to wash your BMW to keep it looking as pristine as the day you brought it home, BMW of San Antonio is here to help.


The team at BMW of San Antonio has gathered some of the best car washing tips and tricks to help you learn how to wash your BMW:


Try to not wash your BMW under direct sunlight. It can soften paint making it more susceptible to scratches or cause soap to dry too quickly leaving streaks. If you can’t find a shady spot, make sure to keep your BMW wet at all times during the wash.


Avoid dish soap or detergent. Instead you should use a specialized car-wash product. These products formulated for use on car paint are gentler and milder and will keep you from stripping off the protective wax on the BMW.



Use the right sponge. Find a natural sponge or a lambswool mitt and make sure it is clean. Any dirt or grit left behind on a sponge or rag could scratch your BMW's paint. Start on the top of the car and work your way down, cleaning the sponge and changing the water as you go. Use a separate sponge when cleaning the tires to prevent transferring grit and grime onto the body of the BMW.


Don't air dry. The best way to dry your BMW is to blot it with a clean, soft towel to prevent watermarks from forming. If you need to speed up the process, use a gentle squeegee first to remove water from the BMW's body.


After you take care of the exterior, be sure to remember the interior as well. Make a service appointment with BMW of San Antonio today to tune up your vehicle!
