Jet wash

[colindl]

Since owning My Noble i've steered clear of using my Karcher. However, following a recent visit to my dealer i noticed that they were cleaning their cars with a jet wash. Does anyone use one on theirs and if so where do avoid direct spraying?

Thanks

Don't like using them myself but if you must then do avoid the side windows as water WILL get in (and obviously the engine).

I wouldn't. the paint isn't exactly stuck to the GRP well, so is very vulnerable. I took paint off the EVO's bumper with a presure washer, and haven't used one on a nice car since. i do have the luxury of hot tap in the garage though. The wife thinks I'm mad using hot hosepipe to wash the car with!

I've always used a Karcher on all my cars, including the fibreglass bodied ones. A pressure washer is particularly useful for getting the muck out of the arches and road salt off the bottom of the car.

You won't have any problems as long as you have the correct wand attachment. The only thing you should steer clear of are stickers, as these can peel off if you hit them at close range.

Only time I used one on a noble, I did the wheel speed sensor. That cost several hundred quid to fix

Thanks for the replies. Probably best not to then.

thanks

I use one all of the time, I just stand further back with the Noble so as not to give it the full benifit.

I sometimes get the polish chaps up the road to wash her, as long as you tell them to stand back and not blast the window seals or engine vents, never get a problem.

Plus, I think they like washing something a bit different!
