Just use buckets...There's no law which says how many buckets you can use so just use as many as it takes.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

Kind of missing the point there, if there is a water shortage you dont take the p**s by sluicing buckets of water over a car on the driveway for all to see. ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Local to me there is a car wash which has 2 turn tables. £6 for an extended wash and that gives you hot shampoo then hot water followed by hot wax then a cold rinse. It's very good tbh and i just chamois it straight after then wax it when i get home. In process of doing it now as we speak. I just can't pay £5 to the migrants as they scratch the f**k out of loads of cars! ________________________________________ Team Nile 6 Team: 40.2 MPG  5 x a 306 owner! currently abusing type r's in a town near you ™  I truely live for the 306 ® Build date: 29th October 1997 Wednesday's car midweek madness  |

Not really Jim, using the hose will use less water than the buckets will use to do the job, but the nanny state they are tell us that we are not allowed to use the hose AT ALL. Ok, fair enough, treat me like a child, I'll act like one and use as many buckets as I see fit. If, on the other hand they said can you use the hose as least as possible to try and save water, treating you like an adult, then I would do exactly that. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone |

It p**ses me off having a hose pipe ban! We are on a water meter and so pay for the water we use. Water shortage.....what about all the water that is lost through leaking and cracked pipes? I'm pretty sure the gas companies aren't alowed leaks! The water companies anounce millions of pounds of profit each year and what have they done to sort this problem, which has been fore seen for some time. There is enough water in the UK they just need to get it to the right places,(they need to invest some of their profits).Rant over and back to the original question....I am using Optimum No Rinse car wash in a bucket, a Zymol sponge and a fluffy microfibre drying towel. ________________________________________ If you aint first, your last! |

I do not and will never cohere to a hose pipe ban. If they sorted out their crappy infrastructure rather than lining stakeovers's pockets then they wouldnt be in this mess. This is the problem with privatising public services.I pay for a service and I will not be told or dictated on how I use it. ________________________________________ Team allesclar ® |

So can a jet wash be used? They hardly use any water, definatly less than my 4-6 bucket approach at the moment. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

This is the problem with privatising public services. I pay for a service and I will not be told or dictated on how I use it. I'm afraid you are right and this os the correct way of thinking when it comes to the ban. A. They waste millions of gallons not fixing leaks B. New housing estates build to new regulations where every house is fitted with a water metre have been told the ban doesn't apply to them. Because they get more money so there cant be much of a shortage. ________________________________________ Team SUPERCHARGED I LIVE FOR THE 306 Old Project thread Clicky: [url =http://www.306gti6.com]click here[/url] remove the space between [url = |
