    Someday this week, prob Thursday. Yeah just for a wash.

    Although I did see a 5 Series BMW with "Top Notch" on the back window with a Garda Car sticking out of the side of it in Ballybrack last night. Looked pretty bad!!

    a bucket and sponge always does the job for me it doesnt even take that long like, even the do it yourself car washes in garages are better than the automatic ones

    I would avoid automatic car washes with those brushes. They wreck your paintwork and tend to pull things off your car like ariels and wipers, in the process.

    A self service or attended car wash with a power hose is probably the safest.

    But personally I prefer to wash my car myself, weather permitting of course.

    x2. Just like retail therapy, only for car enthusiasts. Don't forget to give it a good polishing too.

    Super one in Roscommon, drive into a covered shead, two guys armed with brushes (only used on low panels on the car for heavy dirt) and sponges clean your car to within an inch of its life for 8 euro, they have NEVER missed a spot on mine and you get a light spray of polish over it at the end.

    Just wanted to know what your thoughts are on the morale behind using a power washer. With the greens in power, they have appealed on water conservation etc. I have this Kaercher machine for the past 4 years and it is fantastic. It may waste more water than washing a car using buckets but then again, it washes off the dirt well. In some countries, washing a car using a hose is forbidden (Switzerland) so youy need to bring the car to a dedicated car washing place.
