hose pipe ban - ideas on cleaning car

[NickXX]

2 buckets, as always.

Are they MAD? A thick layer of dirt not only hinders the engines, but also changes the aerodynamics.

Madness.

I am glad someone said this as it did come to mind when I first heard it.

well this is going to suck. my car is always faster when its clean, i dread to think how slow it will be after not washing it for months on end

i estimate it takes approximately 4 mins to fill a bucket with the hose.

i estimate i could rinse the car in 2 mins using a hose.

if i used a bucket to rinse the car, it would take 3-4 buckets.


a watering can would work well, but rinsing it with a bucket surely cant be a good idea.


i also do not beleive that that many people out there wash their cars that regularly. both my neighbours never seem to wash their and 90% of the cars out there look like utter heaps that never get washed

Solution: Don't wash the car, quite simple.

That's like asking me not to take a shower in the morning

Balls to that. If I ride my bike and don't clean it, it'll go manky. They can poke it.

Use a bucket - it takes 1.5 buckets to clean a car, first soapy for the wash down, second clean for the leathering off, then use that water to wash the wheels (if yuo have alloys) and its all done, spangley clean and very economical with the water

Ok deal , as long as someone pays for my paintwork when it starts to go rusty / manky

Ill be washing my car as normal but ill just use 5 or 6 buckets of water

Should rinse the car first otherwise all your doing is rubbing all the surface dirt into the paint.

Go down the cash and carry and treat your car like cameron diaz and wash it with bottles of evian
