    Does anyone know a good cloth machine car wash in London? I don't trust many of these hand car wash places as they generally don't do a great job and the pressure washers they use are often too powerful for the paintwork. I have no interest in standing outside with a bucket and sponge to wash...
  2. BMW X Series - Tech Talk For All Gen Of X Series
    My 2007 BMW X3 seems to have a problem with washer fluid. There doesn’t seem an obvious leak but we fill the tank up to the top and after a couple if trips (perhaps on day 2). The fluid level light comes on and it seems there’s very little screen wash left. We are not using loads of screen wash...

    E64 2006 with Keyless Go. I immediately took out the battery and metal key; there was very little moisture inside. Dried it open in a warm breeze for 24 hours (on floor in front of fridge freezer outlet), then put it in a plastic box with dried rice in a warm place for another 24 hours...

    To start I recently bought a 2004 BMW 525i with 116k miles on the car and near perfect condition both inside and out visually at least.

    Through laziness I took my car though a car wash recently. Only just noticed weeks later it missed judged the location of the back wheel and "sanded" the back door with rotation scratches. I guess this will buff out with a cutting compound and polish. Thoughts.

    Hi Guys, I thought this guide may come in handy for anybody looking at delving into the world of detailing. We've recently completed a very in depth guide about Clay bars. We have covered how to use one, how they work and why you should use one. We feel that making sure your paintwork is in...

    Hi All, I recently acquired a 2008 530D M Sport. Which has a peculiar issue. Activating the rear wiper will cause the split tailgate to pop open (the glass bit) obviously stopping the wiper at that position. I'll come on to what i've checked/done shortly but the only way i can find to stop...

    I had a go at making a video, I think it's not bad for the first time, also it was filmed on Samsung s3 and s6. All C+C welcome on the video and how I could improve myself. PS.: I know it's not the best washing technique https://youtu.be/VfWhVpKsPFE
