    thats a good move... we have a 2100ltr tank and even with minimal rain its about 1/2 full... i think we need another one, the more water catchment the better i say

    can you use your own sponge and car wash at those places?
    once I went to a crystal style car wash(hand wash) and I watched as they dropped the sponge on the ground and then continued to wash the car! FREE SWIRL MARKS .

    my mate with the black TT went through a automatic wash and all I remember is his tears ! It took me 3 hours to hand polish all the swirl marks off!!

    Nah this one is on Canterbury Rd and you wash the car yourself. You just get charged for the water that you use. Its got on the gurny Degreaser, Soapy Water, Rinse Water and also Clear coat pretector and the vacuum that you can use awesome gets everything out. You can also buy Jack black and other stuff there to but there pricey.
