Washing My F80 M3 At Self Car Wash - How To Wash Your Car At Self Car Wash

- Washing my F80 M3 has always been at home with my own equipment/tools. I've been asked, how to wash your car at a self car wash a few times. In this video, I show you what I bring to a self car wash and some ways to save you some times and money. This video was filmed the day before the BMW Invasion of Melbourne FL at a self car wash.
KEY TIP* : Don't go during day, try going later in the night when most people are not there so you can really deep clean your car properly.
Keep in mind, this is a great demonstration for people who don't have access to a hose at their home. There is nothing set in stone on how you should wash your car, but I wanted to show you guys how I would do it if I only had access to a self car wash. Hopefully these tips can help you guys out. If there are other techniques that you guys have, please feel free to share it !
BMW INVASION of Melbourne FL has been in the works for quite a while. The months of planning and the countless hours were finally coming to a close.

washing your own car is so therapeutic
Absolutely agree 💯 💯
A true man and machine relationship
Riding to get my jeep cleaned right now:) love sundays
completely agree, and regardless of the age of the car. I myself have a BMW 1 series 2017, i tend to wash it every two weeks, weather dependent here in the U.K.
Whenever i visit my mother and the weather is good, I wash her car which is a 2004 car. Also since there's sentimental connection, since as a family that car has been with us since, so having that connection does make it more satisfying when going through the wash process.
Very therapeutic.
@@dawidekosrs896 youtube while driving is dsangeros
Dude she’s so nice for holding the camera for you. When i wash my custom turquoise paint job car my wife helps me a ton. Specifically interiors like mats, dash board and so. They’re keepers and rare to find. ❤️✌🏻
Totally agree. Hard to find these days. Both are keepers for sure !
Love your passion for your M3. F80 will remain its legacy forever. I take care of mine like a baby now since I know I won't get the new generation.
Same here, this F80 is staying for the long haul. I appreciate it, owning an M3 has been my dream car since I was young so I'm definitely not taking it for granted.
This is what I have been looking for. Cheap and functional ways to use the self serve bay.
Thanks for checking out the video. Definitely helps you wash you car properly instead if using the old brushes at the self service wash. Just gotta go during off peak hours so you're not holding up the bay.
This was very calm and therapeutic I enjoyed this love the F8x model 😊😊🔥🔥
I feel the same way when I watch other car wash videos too lol.
Glad to see you’re on the brake buster and bead maker combo! Great video man, I’ve been wanting to try one of those wash bays for fun
Yeah that combo is the best bang for you buck without taking away from quality. Bought gallons of them lol. Yeah its nice to check out, especially with that strong pressure washer.
@@TheDailyDriven have you tried p&s all shine performance dressing very good tire dressing!
@@aarongonzalez2156 no I haven't yet. I'll have to look into that for sure
Beadmaker is crap
I live in Melbourne, it was a blast seeing so many F80’s all lined up. Including fellow 6 speed manual Silverstones!
It was an amazing sight for sure ! Thanks for coming out to the show!
This is a big help for me, been paying $50 every carwash doing this will save me money! Thanks you!
No problem! Glad I was able to help 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
car wash vids are always 🔥
Thanks brother 🙏.
Damm i got my new 3 series last week, your video helped me to figure out how to wash it properly. Thanks a lot :) and love your M3
No problem! Just try to go when it's not peak time. Some people may get mad since this process takes a little longer. I have a few other videos on the channel on how to wash the car in different methods.
Awesome video bro.
Thank you ! Appreciate you checking out the video
Washing the car is therapy brooo. great video.
Facts 💯
Love your m3 f80 look so dope I hope one day I will get one
Thanks Brian. Appreciate it 🙌. You'll be able to. Just stay focused 💯
Gotta love a car wash video!
Its always fun filming car wash videos 💯
Get you a women who loves cars and will support her man in his passion 🙏🏽 respect to her
Yes she supports it 100 % thankful for her 🙏
Thanks bro you just gave me an idea on how to wash my C7 on one of these car wash joints
Awesome 💯🍻
I got that same problem, everytime I see bird poo, bugs, or dust I have to clean my ride lol Thanks for sharing and knowledge Hella sick M3 by the way with them BBS
Exactly it drives me crazy to see lol. Thanks for checking out the video 📹
Yeah this car looked awesome at the show!!!
Thanks Michael! Appreciate it. Thanks for coming to the show 👍👍
When washing at a self service bay, using a 2 bucket method. Do you use their low rinse soap to create “soap/foam” to create extra lubrication? Or do you just high pressure rinse the car and go in with your soap & mitt to clean the car?
Thanks I’m advance!
Good one. Helped me wash my car for the first time today 😂. Now to get that $5,000 shine lol.
😆...glad I could help 🤘🏻
great relationship cheers mate
Thank you ! Very blessed to have her in my life.
nice one
Thank you 🤘
Love this because I do the same to my car just hate when I have someone waiting for me to finish 😭😂😂😂
Its pure joys of washing your own car. Pure relaxation !
Do it 9.00-12.00 PM. 🙂
thanks ur goated for this
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I would totally go after hours like you did and bring my own bucket and sponge. Those sponges are cheap nowadays so I could just throw it out till next time. I got a black car so left to right wiping is better to avoid swirl marks.
That's the way to do it so you're not rushed and can be thorough. Black cars, you definitely have to be careful to minimize the swirls for sure. Thanks for checking out the video 🤘🏻
@@TheDailyDriven no problem! 1st and last time I’m owning black car though. They’re nice when super clean but one drop of sprinklers or rain ruins everything lol!!
Just came across your video and you got me hooked lol. How do you deal with removing the bugs that are on the windshield and the front bumper? Do you use any type of spray for it?
Thanks Victor 🙏🏻. Appreciate the solid feedback. Removing the bugs from the front windshield and front bumper can sometimes be a pain if you leave it on there for a bit. I generally use detail spray to remove it off. Luckily my frontend has paint protection film which makes it easier to take off.
Thanks for sharing this, would you mind list the products you used in this video?

Very satisfying to watch, however I’m not a hand wash/detail guy, I love automatic washes and how they work and all the equipment and chemistry. I plan to own an express exterior tunnel wash, multiple locations in just a couple years. Anyways 👍🏽 on the video, nice and shiny!
More power to you and your future ventures. I agree, I've watched other channels where they washed their own cars and I find it satisfying too
So how do you avoid your rotors building up that rust on them after wash?
Good question, a lot of that rust will come naturally. There are some products that help with that such as the wheel cleaner I use (Brake buster) it has rust inhibitors. There also another product that treats that which is called Hydes Serum Rust Stopper. That I Have not tired yet. Another way is to drive it down the block and ease in on the brakes. Here's a video about Hydes Serum
th-cam.com/video/y8UvYIZh4P0/w-d-xo.html
I love seeing that I’m not the only one that is extremely particular about how my car looks the smallest amount of dirt drives me insane
Yup there's a lot of us out there lol. Driving it for 10 min , I already feel like it's dirty lol 😆
hey do you have catless DPs as well? Or just the AWE exhaust.
Currently Stock downpipes. Looking into one prob. this winter.
Its relaxing to me too. 😂
There's definitely a certain car guy where it becomes relaxing instead of a chore lol
this is asmr for car guys. i wash my G like 2x a week 😂
Major facts lol 😆 🤣
Hey man, got a question, so when (in what phase) do you use Sonax and when Bead Maker?
The Sonax Spray and Seal would be used after you washed the car. The product is water activated so you would need the car to be wet. All you need to do is spray it onto the car liberally and then hose it off.
I would not use beadmaker during this wash but the next wash since you already put on the Spray and Seal.
The Spray and seal is something I would use every 3 months or so if you want.
Respect to your fiancé! Filming like a boss! I gotta hop on that Sonax life ASAP 🧼🧽
Yeah she did pretty well. No shakiness to the video. The Sonax Spray and seal is legit 💯
Clean af💦🇩🇪 rims are dope by the way
Thank you ! Car pretty much gets a weekly wash lol. Thanks for checking out the video 💯
his dirty is my clean. lol
Lol Car Detailing is my hobby.
Looks great. How safe would you say a one bucket wash is vs 2? I only have 1 and think this is my best shot (apartment complex). I just want to avoid swirls if I can.
To be honest, you'll never be able to avoid swirls but taking the proper wash methods will help on minimizing new swirls. One bucket is ok but having the two bucket method is extremely beneficial. Since you live in a apartment complex, check out Optimum No Rise. Good waterless wash you can use when the car isnt' too dirty.
Buy about 5-7 multi wash mitt.
One bucket with shampoo.
U can use both side of wash mitts... Easy and u never put back dirty mitt into bucket. Trust me.
Do you recommend using a foam brush? Or the soap from the carwash?
I honestly wouldn't recommend using them. The soap that is provided has a high PH level that will in time take away from any wax or sealant on your vehicle. The foam brush is abrasive and just filled with dirt. Most of the dirt never gets cleaned out and that will definitely scratch your paint. A way to think about it is, imagine using a community tooth brush. Lol.
@@TheDailyDriven that makes perfect sense lmao, thankyou for the reply!
No problem 🤘
any risk of that break cleaning stuff getting on the rotors and making them not stop
No risk as long as it safe for your wheels /rotors.
Literally just came back from the self serve myself to watching a person do that on TH-cam lol
Haha niceee. I definitely need to update some of the methods I'm a future video. Thank you for watching this video.
10:36 That’s what she said 😏 don’t mind me I’m a child lmao love your F80 brother and I love the appreciation you have for it great vid!
Hahah exactly. Thanks Corey, I appreciate you checking out the video.
How much % visibility film is on the windshield?
70% on the front windshield
This may sound stupid, but in your opinion, are the pressure washers at self-service stations generally safe as far as their PSI? For example, do you think the PSI of pressure washers at self-service stations is generally safe to use?
Not as stupid question at all. The pressure from those machine should be fine as long as you keep it a safe distance away from the paint. There's no reason to put the pressure washer wand up close to the paint.
@@TheDailyDrivenThanks!
You can only do this at 2am in a good neighborhood. They want allow this in my area
Yeah this was literally late night. Luckily where my in-laws live it's quiet but definitely won't be able to do this prime time in thr afternoon
What products do you use
I list all the products I use in the description. Hopefully that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions.
I did this today but with two bucket method. Go late so you don't hold up the line lol
haha true. Then you can really take your time.
What’s the 2 bucket method?
@@Ninowitdavibez Use one bucket with soap solution for washing, then use the second bucket with water and a grit guard to rinse and scrub dirt/debris off the wash mitt after you scrub each panel of the car. This avoids rubbing the dirt you just washed off into the next section
Do you fill the bucket with water and then take it to the self wash bay? Does it fit in the trunk?
The best ideal way to do it would be to fill the water up beforehand so you're not wasting time throwing up the buckets. You would also want a wash bucket with a gamma seal. I believe there's some links in the description for all that
The wash bucket with the gamma seal, allows you to close the lid and prevent any spills
@@TheDailyDriven Got it.. Yeah you mentioned that part in the video. Filling the buckets over there will be waste of time and money.
How do you wash and clean the mits brushes towels and all that
After my wash I load all my towels and wash mitts into the washer and dryer and use microfiber detergent.
@@TheDailyDriven do you use cold or hot water or does it not matter
@@takeoffbands1255 Hot water is bad for microfiber. I'd you like to know how to properly wash microfiber towels and mitts, I suggest watching this video --> th-cam.com/video/t_ryfGlkE9I/w-d-xo.html
Agree, either warm or cold water. The hot water could melt the fibers that cause it to be less effective or could cause marring.
Could you recommend all the products you use for your car?
I got you ➡️ th-cam.com/video/NaYEJRzwFj8/w-d-xo.html
I also link the products I use in the description of the videos. Hope that helps.
so much respect for the girl recording!!
She's the real MVP 💯💯
Here in Australia at the coin operated wash, they have banned using own products at their facility. cameras are everywhere and staff tell you to use what they have or leave
is that water hot or cold?
Nether. I would call it warm.
so you only use the rinse??? What are the eight other things on that dial, so confused
Most of the other options on the dials are high PH level chemicals that I personally wouldn't use. If you're really particular about you car, you would use the wash bay solely for the water.
Pause wait am I tripping or did he steal the money from the machine . - first time watching his videos
I had placed some coins by the machine. There's a spot where you can place your coins, since an average user will prob use 2 to 3 cycles on the machine.
They don’t allow people to use buckets in my city at washes😭
Damn... Really? Why??
who wash their car when it is still clean lmao
You'll be surprised
G
thanks for watching
Completely unrelated to the video, but I just gotta say you are juiced af
Been lifting since I was 16. Thanks for checking out the video 🤘
I really hope I didn’t just see him use his wheel bucket on the Whole car
I normally rinse the wheel brushes and tools multiple times with my hose but at a self carwash its not practical. I didn't use the wash bucket to clean the wheels. I just took all the tools out of it when I started. This was a quick wash before our event the next day. There's definitely some things I could have done better.
Stunning car, however makes zero diffrence wether you run side to side or circular if you dont use any pre wash like snow foam or traffic film remover. Def not how to wash a car
Everyone has their own methods, this one works for me. Thanks for watching.
You're not allowed to bucket wash homie
It is what it is. To be courteous I went late at night. No one was there to hold up.
