AC Schnitzer spoiler

[BTZ461]

My apologies to the OP here, we didn't mean to post twice the first vanished into the ether, or so we thought.
The ACS Schnitzer rear spoiler is still available new, Schmiedmann have in stock, Rossiters are the main ACS dealer, in the UK, but as all of us have posted, in the hands of a professional fibreglass guy (unless it is really mangled) should be an easy low cost fix.

Not gonna lie, putting your weekend toy through a car wash (assuming you are not able/have the capability to wash it yourself) is not good practice in terms of car care.

£5 hand car wash’s use strong traffic film removers which will strip any wax on your paint and can even cut through the paint if left on for too long (happened to me on my E86). They also tend to use dirty mitts to clean your car (and everyone else’s that rolls through their premises) and as they are in a rush most of the time, press too hard which results in swirls and scratches.

Auto car washes are even worse when it comes to swirls and scratches.

It is common knowledge that if you want to maintain the paint of your car, you should wash it yourself by using proper washing methods (eg pre-wash, 2 bucket method, wax etc). Or alternatively use a detailer for ‘maintenance washes’ (which will cost more money) but preserve the paint in the long term.

You miss my point the op posted asking for help repairing / find a replacement not a lesson in the “correct” way to wash he car

Didn’t miss the point at all as I already suggested how he should go about getting that fixed in my previous post.

My post was in a general sense not you specifically

Maybe the guy lives in Germany where you are not allowed to wash your cars at home, unless you have a TUV approved drainage system?

Is this a joke or is this true?

Don’t know but you’re not allowed to hang out your washing or cut your grass etc on a Sunday. Designated as “family time’” and no work of any sort allowed at home.

Neighbours grass you in and you get a fine in the post.

Wow. And someone on another thread didnt think we were controlled by our governments.

I honestly thought the BIL was taking the piss when he told me because I’d offered to cut their grass one Sunday morning as he was going to work and he said they’d have an €80 fine through the door the following Wednesday.

I do remember him saying something about not washing the car too but I can’t remember if it relates to the Sunday thing or the reason you’ve quoted.

Been German law for over 20 years buddy.

I think it is Switzerland where you are not allowed to wash your car on a Sunday, but don’t quote me on that.
