well you mentioned standing the other side of the street so i assumed cars would be passing between you and your car

if you cover them then technically you're washing their car so charge the buggers  :tongue:

ok, well compared to the old bucket and mitt is this a much more effective/easier way of cleaning the car, just trying to weigh up the 'investment' ;)

i think it helps keep marring to a minimum as it does remove a fair bit of dirt etc from the car before you attack it with a mitt  :smiley:

it quickens up the process if you car is well detailed and protected with a decent wax as the dirt will come off more easily

up to mate but i'm well happy with my 'investment'  :smiley:

Cleaned the van and the Golf with just the jet wash with the little pipe. Works well, althought the back of the van was like tar, I had to use the rough endge of the sponge designed for wheels and screen wash to get it off. Golf looks good though. If the lance is much better, will look into it.
