Anyone else notice how dirty the rear end of the Q gets? Something about the design sends 90% of the dirt to the back, and even my car wash is unable to get it off. Usually when I run it through the car wash, the back will come out looking even worse because the water run off, and the caked on dirt just never see enough of the brushes. This must have something to do with the design, as the car wash is able to get every other car. The only solution I have is to hand wash the rear end after a car wash!!!

It's the way the wind moves around the rear due to the design. Go to a car wash that has people using hand wands to pretreat wheels and rears etc.

What are these car wash things you speak of? Sadly with a complete matte wrap, I can't even consider driving through them.

I have noticed the same thing. How about those rear mudguards? Does anyone have those on and do they help reduce the mess?

Its disgusting what the rear end looks like after a car wash!

I tried hadwashing my car 19 years ago when I bought my first BMW (I was scared by these boards about how bad car washes were). It was fun the first time or two...I still have the mitts, soap, bucket etc sitting in the garage somewhere...LOL! I dont have the time or patience.

Now, I only take my cars to good car washes or none at all. I'll never pull into a gas station wash, or one of those shady looking outfits somewhere.

Did you have the car wrapped with XPEL Stealth?
I really want to do that on my convertible!
Although the price tag had me kinda bummed....

Actually I have noticed this too, not only with the Q7 but also with the Allroad..

Its the design on the Q, and the car wash doesnt get the back for some reason. No issue on any of my other cars/SUVs
