Thread: water restrictions NSW,washing our vdubs

    we are on level 4 restrictions up here on the central coast so i go to car lovers. I wouldnt recomend using their brush. I take my own sponge and use the suds that come out of the brush ( ie hold the brush over the car, put suds all over it ,then use my sponge ) I have found this to work really well.

    One thing to remember is to give it a really good chamois cause their water can leave dirty marks on the paint if it dries.

    They have a brush and sometimes its alright, I wash it out before I use it sometimes. You can use the sponge but I recommend you use it during the night time when it is dead because the owner gets the 'poos' because you take to long. But its better during the night because you can take your time.

    In Sydney I had a high pressure cleaner (karcher) and I made up a short length of garden hose (about 2m). In the side near the bottom of a 20 litre bucket I fitted a hose connection, and connected the pressure cleaner to the bucket.

    One fill of the bucket was enough to wash & rinse using the high pressure cleaner. It's legal with the current water restrictions!

    Thats a great solution Peter JG.

    I have just had new concrete laid, which needs hosing and the concreter has a water exemption cert. I assume this extended to washing dubs

    No water restrictions here - it's rained non-stop for 2 months, just turning to snow today! How I miss the sunshine!

    Meguiars sell a 15 litre bucket with the hole (and connectors?) for $20. This is what I am planning to buy, as we have water restrictions (level 3) here in Adelaide. Just have to make sure my Karcher will work off this, or buy a new one that will. I can then use rainwater, filtered water or distilled water. I'm told it makes a great differance using other than tap water.

    We have stage 3 water restrictions here in the ACT. No washing of cars except at those car wash places that recycle their water. It cost around $10 to give the Little Beastie a good wash.
