You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
Just heard on the radio that due to 2 abnormally dry winters the SE and East Anglia will have a hose pipe ban from 5th April 2012...................
Does anyone know of any waterless washing systems for those who cannot use a hose to wash their car or any systems for minimising water use during car washing?
Next time I come south I'll have to hitch up my trailer and bring some of the surplus water we have up here!

Use a two-bucket system with grit guards, at least it'll keep what water you've got cleaner.

Buy bottled water to clean the car? Cool

Or make the water go further by diluting it.Laughing
I just phoned Southern Water & they confirmed I am Exempt. Smile Which is just as well really as they would be putting me out of business!
