Ahh!
I just watched the video of the distibution center process on the OL "track your MINI" thing. They run them through an automatic car wash! I guess all of you that said "My MINI will never be through an automatic car wash" (I was one of them) are wrong.
This is disturbing. I'm writing congress.

Add to that most dealers have an auto wash as well. So it probably got it twice!

Well, I'd have to say that the requirements of the club exclude that. That wash is out of your, and my control.

The video only shows a shower of water, I don't remember seeing foreign object coming down to brush the car.
