Road dirt on panels behind wheels

Evening 😎

My beloved 335d has completed a perfect 1000 mile roadtrip

Today I treated it to a full wash

Seem to have been left with residual dirt just behind the front wheels on the arch by the door.

I used a citrus pre-wash, followed by tar remover, then Auto-Glym Polar Blast foam, then an Auto-Glym full warm contact wash with 2 buckets.

It looked clean when I washed it (and wash it well I did)

Do I need a full clay bar service? If so I've got a bilt-Hamber waiting in the packet

Looks great.

- I could never understand why BMW would have this engine offered in X5 (F15) and 5 Series (F10) in USA and Canada, but never in F3x cars...

Thanks Oksamit78 😎🤙🏻

No I didn't understand why either - the 3L straight 6 is just impeccable
