Leaves in trunk crevice and hood crevice

GrimJaw · 11-11-2023, 12:05 PM

Anyone else having this problem? I have seen a guy with a three series who uses some sort of netting to stop this.

What can be done?

You could try cleaning it once a year?😂😉

Try not to park under trees. Use your leaf blower to remove them, frequently this time of year.
These swabs are great for cleaning leaf stains from the nooks & crannies:

My f22 does seem to collect more of that than my previous e90. I just use the shop vac to clean out those areas whenever I am using it to vacuum the interior.

Car cover keeps it mostly clean... If parking outside! Otherwise, open and clean it manually often! And yeah, once a year, nice clean plus crevices with a little brush, then clean and wax all channels. When washing weekly or whatever, clean it out and use a detail spray, keep it slick!
