I have found a use for my Autoglym Hydra blade and that is getting snow off all the windows, I knew it would be good for something one day  :grin:

Not something I'd try as the water may freeze on the drive and god knows what would happen when driving on and off the drive, fortunately I dont have to though as mines kept in a garage  :cool:

^hmm, yeah thanks Guy :grin: i normally use a soft brush but not sure how much damage it's doing?

with a stiff brush or a shovel you are sure to remove any doubt as to how much damage you're doing  :wink:

Tis true i suppose! :laugh: I'm in a similar sort of situation as Tazzy in that the local yoof would find it hilarious to mess about with whatever cover i put over it! I'd love a garage and i have the space just not enough money! :sad: i think i'll carry on with my soft brush for now if some are using rubber blades with no bother as it's quite a bit softer than say, a jetwash brush.
Thanks for the replies,

Be nice if we could go fast enough! :grin:

the ironic thing for me is, is that i have a garage, but its about 3 miles from my house, so the car cant be stored, plus ive got the show car in there,and as much as i love my golf, i love my corsa more (£15k more!) to add, i also have a pressure washer, but its broke, and its also at the garage, to help things along, i live in a first story flat...

in short, my car stays dirty and covered in snow/dirt/grit/ice till i can get the car to a mates to clean it! lol
