32 buckets it took to clean the car today, and it's a crappy job, did not do the roof properly or wheels. The buckets were 10 litres each so that's 320litres of water.

I swear I would not use that much water with the hose pipe!!!!

How the dooooch is that saving water?!!

Oh and the mrs is p!ssed off cos I made her pass the buckets through the kitchen window!

Pressure washed mine and the missus' car, there is no way i used that much on both of them.

Thourough soaking with magifoam and then pressure washed, arches cleaned, the works.

Grim up North

exactly! Must abide by the rules tho hey! I got soaked too

Pressure washer on a water butt works well did the Freelander and TT today.  Freelander2 GS TD4 Manual in Lago Grey .Roof Mount DVD 9.2''Screen~Window Tints~Parrot CK3100 Bluetooth~Retro Fit Sony Satnav~iPhone Dashmount~Side Steps~Woodco Armrest~Mudflaps~Land Rover Sunglass Holder~LED Interior Lights~Private Plate.Evoque Collected 17th Sept 2012.

Dont have either

Barton how much water did you use from your water butt?? The problem with the bucket is it can't really be directed well' hence the large wastage!

Use a watering can Landy.

...or run the hose up inside your trouser leg and out the zip

Or move up north it's not that grim In fact it will be snowing tomorrow With the aid of my pressure washer

Yeah did cross my mind afterwards. Was gonna run the hosepipe to the front door then fill the bucket in the porch out of site

I would rather a dirty car than move up north

That's fine more of Kielders water for us in then North to use

I have the large 210l Sankey water butt and use a point spinner jet on my drive which lasts about 45 minutes from a full butt.

A fan spray will most likely use more water and this should be what is used for cars although a small lower pressure unit will use less water. Prog rock is cool!

My car is ditched but it is going to rain again Monday and Tuesday so it's pointless cleaning it. I pay to have mine cleaned. Can't be doing with all that faffing. LL.B (Hons) - University of Derby
