Car/bike advice needed (not normal type)

[RemyMartin]

All,

I have a bit of a dilemma. My regular car cleaning place I visited has shut(the one opposite pennyhill park in Bagshot) and I really need a heads up of any other decent ones in the Surrey Heath area? My experiences of the car wash next to Mogul wasn't great.

To be honest what I really need is facilities to wash them myself, although my apartment has no outside tap and being on the first floor makes it a PITA. I have tried writing to the water board but didn't get any sort of response :-( anyone had experience of plumbing in some sort of tap or have done this myself? This is the route I'd prefer as at the moment I have to go in and out with buckets, which isn't fun and puts me off doing it.

Any ideas other than simply 'move somewhere else' will be appreciated!

Much love

Luke.

They're all ste (from the ones I've tried) other than the chaps just past Pinewood in Crowthorne. Probably worth the drive, the last one I used near bagshot left massive dirty patches on the car.

Go to your parents house. Was my solution for 3yrs!

since switching off my outside tap from people not asking before they use it, the guy accross the street who lives on the first floor runs a long feed hose out his flat window to his hose reel on the ground. not ideal but it would get you going

[RemyMartin]

John, that's just not cost effective any more. It's a 100 mile round trip, not to mention it would be dirty by the time I got home.

In all seriousness though has anyone living in apartments had experience of having an outside tap installed. I really dont want to have to have the hassle of running a hose through my flat from the kitchen.

I dont know where you live or the style of te flats, but when i moved down here and had tolive in a flat for 6 month, the outside cycle stores had a external taps. maybe worth a look around development.

I guess I'll be buying one of these which will have to do until I get a more permanent solution in place. At the very least it should help.

Guys at the texaco near frimley park hospital (tomlinscote side) have always done a good job and always have nice cars going through.

That looks like the perfect tool for cleaning my bike - cheers! Good luck with your car though.. looks like it would need at least a couple of re-fills with only a 5 litre cannister?

[RemyMartin]

Lol! I'd imagine 5 litres will rinse the bonnet.... Will be very handy for my bike also.

Also big thanks for the heads up on the Frimley cleaners. Will try them out I thinks.
