I wouldn’t wash it by hand either, I’d be taking it through a mechanical car wash, two or three times!
I always wash by hand too as I find it therapeutic (I’m one of them too) but with that much poo I’d be there forever with a pressure washer and sponge and would clog the drainage holes with the rest end up on my drive result in me having to wash the drive too.I'd never use a mechanical car wash. My mother used to deal with insurance claims from a well known oil company's customers who put their cars through the wash. Granted most were user error. But it puts you off reading how the mechanism slowly worked its way along the side of their car...
That said, I also have comprehensive set of car washing stuff. I'm one of those people
Not had a bad experience with mechanical carwashes on the rare occasion I’ve taken my cars to them. My A2 hasn’t ever been in one as I don’t expect they’ll clean properly under the rear spoiler.
Indeed, and I’d be even more worried with an FSI since it has a larger rear spoiler that the TDI....... I think?Agreed about not cleaning beneath the rear spoler, at least on the outward sweep. I don't expect they'd handle the rear spoiler actually being there on the return sweep though . I've seen a few photos of A2's without them and it strikes me that the only way that would happen would be a car wash.
