Cant Wash Your Car With A Hose...

[Cubes]

Over here we have a few different car wash places: Car Lovers, BP and another. Within that car wash place they all have a lazer wash which is a brushless car wash, just highpressure water.

The car wash places all have the diy stuff that well; isn't named anything.

So over here the Lazerwash is a car wash. DIY is diy.

i just fill a small bin up with water and connect my high pressure hose to it, technically its still out of the bucket coz the water isnt connected to the mains... much easier and quicker to wash the car that way

ohh and a couple weeks ago a water main was shooting water 3 feet in the air on the corner of our street, dad called the water board and they said it will take 3 days to get someone out. he said, well if it takes that long i guess u dont care about water restrictions and i cant get in trouble for washing my house and watering my garden.... they arrived within 30mins to fix it.... government is f**ked....

A couple of months ago I got one of those waterless car wash kits. Not Polyglaz or Kitten or any of that crap, its one from the USA called "Dry Wash N Guard". I have a black Series 2 skyline that i have owned for nearly 2 yrs now and living on the Central Coast we have level 4 water restictions. I "washed" my car with this stuff and holy hellfire buggery bastard batman!!! The car has never looked this black!!

I had some water marks in the paint, now gone! I had swirls from polishing too hard and they are dramatically reduced and nearly gone! The distibuter I got it off said the more that I use this stuff the more slight imperfections will disappear.

I was sooooo sceptical before using this stuff for obvious reasons with a black car. But the water beads like nothing else now and bugs and stuff are so much easier to get off my car.

Before everyone PM's me for where I got it, keep in mind it aint cheap!!!! about $90 bucks for the 500ml kit.

But i only used about 60 or 70ml to do my whole car and now if my car isnt that dirty i just wet sponge and chammy it off in 10 mins and it looks smickoe again.

Our local carwash place has the water recycling so much that the water actually stinks and leaves brown sh*t on my car so I thought i'd try something different.

Anyway sorry for the long post but I think some people would like a different solution to the sh*tty carwashs that do more harm than good for your paint!!!

Phanks for reading!!

They should invent some way of turning sea water into clean (well...yeah) tap water.

[phee]

^ They already have that, the Navy boys have them on their boats.

You don't want to drain the sea out though, but with global warming and the melting of the ice caps, and the whole world being flooded, maybe it isn't such an insane idea.

Thats exactly why i suggested it.

Sad to see whats happening to the coral reef with the ocean temp being to high

it's called desalination. they can do it. it's been done in other countries. i think there's trials in perth actually.

i'm all for it.

my mate has a rainwater catchment tank under his property, so we can legally use his hose to wash our cars.

oh crap i got given one of them too and I gave it away cos I didnt see how you could wash your car without water - thought it must be hella dodgy. Wish I'd kept it now!
