here is a little tip for members in the south caught up in the hosepipe ban area you might want to buy some greased lighting showroom shine car polish it states that you can use this to polish your car without the need for washing the car first, it does work i bought a bottle last year have polished mine now on more than ten times and still have half a bottle left i did try on one wing without washing it first and it did work so now you can keep ur cars clean in the south without the need to wash it and by the way i do not sell the product or have any connection with any body selling this product b4 some members ask  rainy-city

It gets a lot of mentions on the Caravan Forums, it seems quite a few Vanners (vaners in CG speak) use it, just don't feel right doing your FL with it, just very nervous of marking the paint.

I have no need to use it, last time I looked Kielder still had plenty of water in it

you can always bring a couple of water butts with you next week, on your journey up North, in fact if your traveling that route a lot over the next few weeks, you could have a good sideline going on there. Only thing is don't stop at the same point at Kielder every time or you'll get noticed and remember to check the battery and turn the interior light off

I've seen this kind of stuff before when a mate used it. I've always been concerned about rubbing dirt around on my paintwork without the water to first spray, then help remove it with a sponge where the dirts runs away with the water.

Would be interested to know if it can cause any paint swirling..

All I can say is that if it did leave swirl marks on the car do you think we would still use it???

Didn't realise FL2 people used it. Thought I would check though, as there are masses of people that still put cars through a carwash, even knowing the damage they do! '08 Freelander 2 HSE in Stornoway Grey

As most cars are left unattended in very public places where nasty and not so nasty people can create damage to them - there are a lot of people who don't give a s t about their cars.

How about connecting up your pressure washer to a water butt?

Haven't tried it yet but should work ok.
