How do you wash a car with Simoniz GlassCoat?

I have GlassCoat on the exterior of my BMW X2. My car is a bit muddy and I'd like to run it through a car wash. Is it okay to wash it? What should I use?

Sophie Newman · Updated on Sep 30, 2021

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.

“Since it’s an investment to protect your X2, it makes sense you’d be wary of washing it!

Luckily, you can still wash and wax your vehicle per the

maintenance appearance instructions

in your owner’s manual. Just be sure to avoid any abrasive brushes, which can scratch the coating.

Another safe bet is a car wash that uses high-pressure water jets to clean your car.

If you want to be sure to use products compatible with GlassCoat, you can purchase them from Simoniz or visit an auto shop that specializes in GlassCoat. They can provide you with additional recommendations to keep your car in tip-top shape.

Beyond protecting your vehicle’s paint, having a full coverage

policy can further protect your vehicle from damage. If you don’t currently have full coverage or would like to look at other options, try the

app. Jerry finds you the best rates from up to 50 top insurance providers and delivers the best deals to your phone in minutes for free.”
