Any one know a good jet wash??

[mr magoo]

Can any one who knows a decent jet wash at a local garage etc recommend one.

These points must be taken into consideration.

Jetwash programme should be long enough to complete a whole car, not just 3/4 of a car.

Must be powerfull enough to at least do half decent job on wheels.

Hose must be long enough to reach around whole car.

Must be adequately maintained i.e no leaks

Hot cycle should be hot etc etc

Thanks

Your lucks in, I'm in Rossendale too....

Used it this morning in fact........

I'm Rossendale too.

Is this the one on the left as you get near Stacksteads with just a couple of jet machines on a concreted area? If so be very wary - i used that one last winter when it was going dark as they had floodlights and had kids hid in the dark areas throwing rocks at my car whilst i was trying to wash it.

you heathen your motor should be lovingly hand washed even in the most adverse weather conditions !lol!

[crackthatoff]

and its cheaper !

[crackthatoff]

ps don't use the jetwash on the tyre walls as i've been told it could result in an egg or two !

[sal 965]

Eggs!

I was looking to break heads. Luckily it was a plastic Smart (since destroyed) and not the M5 or the 965 turbo.

Hmmm, not suprising in Stacksteads.........

No, the one I mean is at the SIDE of "Rossendale Tyre and Exhaust" in Cloughfold near the big gasometer..

It would never happen in Loveclough! Not just because there is not a car wash either!

There's one at Kellets Garage Next to Tesco in Formby. It's not Self service and the main employees are polish, but they do your whole car properly.

[mr magoo]

You don't actually need a car wash in Loveclough, at times its like living in one. The drying cycle can be a bit too harsh though.

I know what you mean. The day we moved here three years ago we had sunshine, snow, sunshine, rain, sunshine, hail - it was an interesting few hours!

I keep getting a leaflet/card through the door for Rossendale Auto Valet (Aston picture on the front IIRC). Does anyone use them?

[sparkythecat]

The problem with commercial jet wahes is that in many of them the water is actually recycled. Depending on how good the filtration system is, you cou could actually be blasting your car with all sorts of abrasive crap.
