Car Wash

Post by Rob »

Do people still clean their own cars?
Or do they use a Car Wash?
Or maybe they have other alternatives!!
I never seem to see anyone cleaning their cars nowadays here in Holland or in England!!
Me? I clean it myself but am i a dying breed?
Am i old fashioned? :?

I've been letting the downpours that we have been having in recent times clean mine - I call it doing my bit for the environment- some may call it pure laziness!

We're not allowed to wash our cars ourselves unless we have tank or bore water. Water restrictions! We're still desperately short of water in Melbourne.

Car washes are allowed to operate, but there's a lot of dirty cars running about. I put my beloved Celica through a brush-type car wash and all the lacquer started to peel off the spoiler. So unless there is a laser-wash nearby, my car's going dirty.
Some mistakes are too much fun
to only make once.

Most of the neighbours on our Drive wash their own cars including my husband , and they wash them on the road side so they don't mess their drives up. :wink:
