Anyone here go through the car wash and then 15 minutes later put down the window and then up again and window is wet all over? (lots of water streaking. Driver's side is much worse than passenger side. Is there a quick remedy to this? Or is this normal for a G37S? If I am using the gas station car wash more frequently in the winter months and the water gets in and freezes - this may be a bigger worry...

 

My G is so new that I'm still hand washing, but even doing that I get streaking of water on the windows, though minimal. Happens on my Honda Odyssey as well. Car washes in below freezing temps may not be a good idea anyway....

 

Same here, happens on all cars buddy.

 

Ummm yeah... Completely normal... Water needs to dry after a wash before rolling down the windows... Usually takes longer when there is no sun out... More sun = faster... Dang I thought everyone knew about this... It's one of the unwritten rules of car ownership... DONT ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS FOR 2 HOURS AFTER A WASH... Another one is DONT TAKE YOUR CAR THRU A CAR WASH!!! Wash it yourself...

 

If it bothers you, keep a small MF cloth and quick detail spray in your glove box or trunk and after you roll them back up, give them a quick spray and wipe down. Either that or don't roll them down until it's completely dry (can take forever)

 

Automatic car wash?!?!

 

damn it must be pretty cold for you to make your car go through a car wash... what's the temp up there?

 

Its been 3 months since I had the car and I got a car wash at least once a week
Like everyone else, I have the same problem. Since I smoke about a pack a day, I always forget about the car wash and roll down the window looks so bad on a tinted window.
Anyways, yesterday after the wash, I didn't roll down my window.
5 hours later, forgetting about the wash, I roll it down for a quick smoke.
rolling it back up, i see streaks
I guess the quick fix will be a handtowel everytime it leaves a streak

 

Usually I do wash by hand only but now that the temp is around 0 degrees Celcius - 7 degrees - the gas station is much more comfortable and in the winter CDN's in Ottawa have no choice but to wash it at the gas station...

I am happy with the colour I got - Platnium Graphite - as it doesn't show the dirt as bad as with the black car I used to have...

 

This happens to me also. But what is bothering me more is... when I roll both windows down all the way the drivers window always goes down faster and up faster than the passenger side window... this has nothing to do with water. anyone else experience this? I had my car since august and just noticed it yesterday when I was bored and was playing with my power windows in my garage..
