Raider quick wash bad iPhone photos!

[Ash.]

Just giving my car a quick was and cal picks up a jet wash for the raider! Who says you can't jet wash a raider if your stood far enough away!!

Paint seams ok so far I will u load some more later see and see how it is!

 

[JamesBryan]

Should be fine as it's not a wrap. It's the shampoo you need to be careful with.

 

[Ash.]

It says dont jet wash on the inside of the door Renault say don't get wash it?

Just covering their arses if anything happens I suppose. You have to be really daft to cause damage. The distance you're using it is fine.

 

[Ash.]

Lol guess so. It's not mine anyway it's cal's he said he had missed using the jet wash so had ago! I bet him to go closer but he wouldn't;(

 

[Dolan]

Haha. So this is the first time it's bin washed

 

[Ash.]

It's a matt paint job not the usual matt film say like the Focus RS500

 

[Carbonraider]

It also has more or less all the extra's that you could spec from Renault. So basically due to it coming to the end of an era for the 200 they thrown all the parts they had at it and gave it a Matt paint job to finish it off.

 

[Chi]

Is a get wash similar to a jet wash

 

[Thrust-Rated]

Where's the name 'Raider' come from?

Nice car by the way?

 

[DrR]

ok cheers, looks good anyway.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

I would just wash it with an open ended hose. If something did happen you'd be pretty pissed.

I'm guessing the old Renault 5?

 

[MrDave]

Why are you not meant to use a jet wash? Why does it make any difference that the paint is matt?

I do wash with a open ended hose its just I miss the jet wash and was good for wheels and arches.

And thanks for all comments guys will get a thread up with both cup and raider.

Because it's french. The paint is peeling off mine, and that's never been anywhere near a jetwash

Thats shocking with a car as new as yours.

Looks awesome, tho it wouldn't be me washing it with a Karcher if it was mine, i don't even wash my normal 200 with a Karcher.

Jet washing a raider Jesus wept, I wouldn't go near mine with one, two bucket method and a hose pipe for me,

flol!

At least you'll have the only gloss raider about

paint flake Seems to be quite common on 200's. Matt is it peeling at the front bumper near the insert?

 

[gez 172]

Is this any 200 they say not to jet wash? Or just this colour?

 

[Knuckles]

Just the raiders gez

apparently pressure washers polish the Matt paint somewhat

Nope, around the rear drivers side window. Going back to Renault on Friday. Wish me luck!

These are brilliant, would love to own one. Makes a normal 200 boring compared to these. Was there much difference in the price?

Strange thread.
