Washing cars, on a street, without a water supply.



  Not a 320d
Get a 335 instead

Bit old. Quite want a new car again. Golf does everything pretty well. Ill see what the payments on one will be when the new one comes out.

Just discovered we have an outdoor tap round the back. Soll Ill be dragging a hoze though the gate.

Why are they old? They've just released a new one & are still selling the coupe?

Figured a brand new 335 would be rather expensive, ive not really looked. Besides every c**ts got a 3er and you cant tell the difference between a 335 and a 320 without looking at the exhaust tips.

Just looked....£38K. nice one.

Went with ONR. Simply because I do not have a pressure washer or hoze to hand. Its 300 miles away.

No idea how it will be to use.

So ordered 8oz ONR, towel, bucket, sprayer, tyre gel, applicator. Some iron X, a wheel brush. A sponge of some description, looks like a schmitt but made by optimum. Hopefully itll be silicone free. Will top off with the Z8 Ive got to hand.

Plenty of vids on YouTube , it's certainly a different washing experience !

Pretty impressed with ONR. I probably butchered my paintwork but whatevs its going shortly and Ill own a black car (FML) so wanted to get some practice in.

I dont like the round wash sponge made by ONR. Going to get another zymol Sponge soon. Ill probably invest in some bulk detailing spray like Last touch too as I think thats really important when drying after ONR incase I missed any crap.

Finish is good. Ill be buying the big bottle of it. Maybe the wax version....

Im not converted mate. I have a tap round the back of the house so I might get a pipe out and do it properly. But its surprisingly good for a wash without a hosepipe.

Wheel arches a problem though.....
 
Without a pressure washer at the moment, I take the car to the local jet wash and give it a once over. Removes anything that is more trouble with just a low pressure hose.
