Kärcher cleanparks usually OK, however not familiar with this particular one as not living in the area. 7km from Porscheplatz...
Refrain from using the brush and keep in mind that washing cars prohibited on Sundays, hence closed...
Kärcher Clean Park Stuttgart-Mühlhausen
Arnoldstraße 41, 70378 Stuttgart

There's a self serve place right next to the factory that worked fine for me (sorry, don't remember name or exact address).

Thanks everyone! Going to need it. Got caught in a blizzard today between Como and Constanz. Took 8.5hrs to go 320km. Don’t mind my temporary track wrap install on the front

OP you are in luck

I had the same issue with my euro delivery last year, I wanted to get my car cleaned before drop off as it was just as filthy and crapped on coming back from the Swiss passes.... only difference was I had the summer Dunlop semi-slicks on

I remember so much steam emitting from the front hood while the snow was melting I thought my car was on fire in one of the tunnels, and the other drivers agreed lol

Check them out, I drove to them and then walked to a nearby coffee shop for a couple beers while I waited

Yes! Thank goodness we opted for the winter wheel/tire set. Could not imagine doing this in the cup2s. The FAL came in mighty handy too as the front spoiler lip served as a snow plow. The 4 way sofas made it so much better too. Love the LWBs for the track but they woukd have been miserable for us today.

awesome! Thanks for the rec.

yes, tons and tons of steam! Luckily had the same experience in the GT4 last year driving from AMP to the Atlanta PEC during the Smokies, so I knew what was going on but dang it looks awful!
