Hosepipe Ban

Post by joe2612 »

Any one else affected by this? i measured it out just now, and using a pressure washer uses less water than buckets. :cry:

I am included within the ban.It's not hard letting my polo look dirty and not being able to clean it.

Im never going to give in to getting it washed by the Car wash.Am tempted to take a bucket and bits to the tesco jet wash though.

Got it here. :(

Didn't get time to do the Golf either so had 4 months of winter grime to get off by hand. :x

Not really found it much hard tbh, just go over the Polo a couple of times a week with a cloth and some water and keep on top of it. Is annoying though faffing round with buckets!

Anyone heard of ONR (Optimum No Rinse)?


Seeing those letters reminds me of IT at school...

Yeah I had some but sold it as I never used it, although this would be the perfect in this case.

We don't have it, and hope we don't, the golfs going to be washed every weekend without fail.
