Josh Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I need mine washed tomorrow night but couldn't bring myself to sticking it in the car wash. If my fingers drop off, I'll regret it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If my fingers drop off, I'll regret it You are better off leaving it dirty than putting it in a scratch box !! Worse case is just hose all the loose grit and crap off.

Josh Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 You are better off leaving it dirty than putting it in a scratch box !! Worse case is just hose all the loose grit and crap off. Definitely! Unfortunately, the hose has been frozen solid each time I've gone to use it. What a nightmare! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Definitely! Unfortunately, the hose has been frozen solid each time I've gone to use it. What a nightmare! Don't forget to grease up the door seals or you will be getting in through the boot. You need a non petroleum based one so it doesn't eat the rubber.

You need a non petroleum based one so it doesn't eat the rubber. Lol, good call. It's taken some careful prying to get the door open and not rip the rubber seals off the last few days. I need a new runaround ASAP... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lbm Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 For my Astra, I'm happy to pay as much as 50p for a car wash thanks. Printed voucher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 For my Astra, I'm happy to pay as much as 50p for a car wash thanks. Printed voucher My nearest BP is miles away sort of defeats the point of the car wash if its going to cost me a fiver to get there and back.

dan294 Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 I forget what people recommend but it makes life a whole load easier. Baby oil actually works a treat. Wipe it on, let it soak in then wipe the excess off. Back to black isn't too bad either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Nice one, will get mine washed later on this afternoon. Is it one voucher per car (do they take a note of your reg number) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imi Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Went to one today and apparently the car wash was inoperable due to the weather being so cold. He said it had to be atleast 4C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lbm Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Like imi, my local BP carwash was too cold to function a couple of days ago. However today I finally got my 50p wash. Thanks for that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

imi Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Got mine washed today - cant complain too much for 50p however no where as good as my local poles. Is there a limit to the number of times one can use the voucher? imi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spence Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 I own a hand car wash and the complaints you get from the auto ones are ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No doubt, but for my old battered and slight flakey Astra, I don't care, as long as it's cleaner going in than out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
