If this does kick off then the government will have to regulate the 'hand car wash' mob and that would take years and a fortune.

They talk about forecourt profits dropping but seem to overlook the retailers who make a lot of money selling (in many cases superior) products for washing your car at home! What a load of crap! Plus I think there are many more harmful products which get washed into the drainage system by rainfall, home car washing is just a drop in the ocean!

There must be more oil & grease plus detergents put down the drains from cooking and food preparation than washing my own car.

So if they were ever to implement and enforce this then they had better start coming around an washing my dishes too   :rolleyes:

A simple message here to the independent retailers, either sort out the utter BS that your representatives come out with or people will go elsewhere for their fuel.

Now I'm going back outside to clean a load of seagull crap off my car  :whistle:
