Either move north or ditch the baby and use its water. :lol:

I knew i should never have left Cheshire! :roll:

 

I have just ordered a water tank today so Im alright. Luckily the ban hasn't come into effect here. What you can do is get one of those big pump sprays. From a gardening centre or something. I think Lidl/Aldi had a special offer not so long ago on them for under £10. Im not talking about the baby ones you use to clean wheels etc, I mean the big ones which carry about 10-15 litres. They definatley work as I have tried it. Goodluck

 

I foresaw that a hosepipe was fairly predictable and so I bought mine before the ban. Good move eh?

I need one of those in preparation for when I get curbed alloys :wink: .

You could take your car down to the local jet wash . Oh god I'm going to get killed by you lot for saying that now

 

I wonder if the pressure washers at some of the petrol stations will still be able to be used?

Only alternative is to spray the car in the garage with the door closed :roll:

so what if everything gets wet - at least the tt will be clean :lol:

 

A dirty TT with curbed alloys :?

Not a bad idea actually - drive to jet wash, jet wash dirt off, drive home and clean followed by rinse with filtered water from watering can. Who said blondes were stupid?! That's the best suggestion by far (assuming that the ban does not close down car and jet washes!)

And being washed in the garage! :lol: .

yes they will be exempt from the ban apparently

 

Am I right in thinking the hosepipe ban only affects residential properties?
I'm planning on taking my car to my old man's work at the weekend

 

You could get a water tank to collect rain water and get a filter for your jet wash and use water from the tank with the jet wash

Ah, excellent idea but, what if we have no rain? :wink: .

And yes Boggie quite right who said blondes were stupid :-*

You dont even have to do that Andy. Im going to fill up my tank with the hose pipe. Connect the pressure washer/hose to the tank and wash the car.

 

Just wash it . :lol:

 

Preferably with a mitt and not a sponge :lol: .

Let me come and wash your cars with my bucket and MITT for a quid :lol: ... roll up roll up

 

4got about that , not the mitt and sponge thing again

 

Will you wash mine with a sponge Dotti :?:

 

Get some poster paint and write "DRIVE" all over your TT. Then get the hose out and rinse it all off but remember to take a photograph. If anyone complains - you were washing your "drive" off and you've a picture to prove it. It's legal apparently... I can see the court case now [smiley=jester.gif]

Thought doing it in the garage with the door shut was a cracker by the way :lol: .

Reminds me of when I woke up hearing a drumming noise late at night, looked out of the window and saw the bloke across the road pressed into the shadow in his porch, aiming a long high jet of water over his car parked out in the road! Must have rained on his car during the night... yeargh... I bet everyone else who was woken up believed him too :lol:

 

Will you wash mine with a sponge Dotti :?:

Did I forget your alloys with my very own toothbrush also 8) :wink: .

However if there is a draught order that means we won't be able to wash our cars at all and carwashes will close down also .

Get ya spit buckets out and save your salvia :wink:

 

[smiley=end.gif] :roll:

 

yep from the 3/4 its in force in berks, good job i can get the TT in the garden round the back eh

 

Get ya spit buckets out and save your salvia :wink:

Acording to my FHM calendar today " The human body produces a litre of spit everyday"

So with the help of the better half and my son thats 21 litres a week! :lol:

Dave (j-i-a-box) mentioned the other day that a lot of jet washes uses some form of aggressive detergent (TFM or something) for removing traffic film. Not too good for your wax apparently :?

The few times I've used the one at Wash Works in Aylesbury my car ends up almost as dirty as when I started - pretty sure their filters aren't particular good so you end up spraying the car with dirty (recycled) water. Even if I take it home to give it once over after this, the finish looks awful. :x

 

Use an air hose with compressed air if you have a compressor. You can either use the normal pistol blower or one with a can for spray and fill it with water. They havent banned the use of air yet...
