    It takes me longer than 5 minutes to wash my car especially when doing a panel at a time!

    Watched this a few months back. Cant remember was it any good, or applicable to Irelands car washes. Either way, all my buckets, shampoos, cloths, mitts etc are in Athlone. Should be there this weekend if I can squeeze in a wash I will.

    You're screwed when the water charges come in, 250 ml comes from a hose every second, do the maths! :pac:
    For me to do rinse, shampoo and wash off including wheels takes 8 minutes.
    Obviously when I'm doing everything, it's about 8 hours but a basic wash once a week is only a few minutes of a job.

    I think a lot more of these will be sold rather than just letting the hose run so shouldn't be too much of a problem.

    I would live in an apartment during the college year. always bring my own bucket and mitt to the tesco car wash. €2 buys you 4 minutes of hose time.

    €4 to rise the car and fill the bucket, soap it up and scrub at my leisure and €2 to rinse it off then.

    does the job fine. obviously i'm not 100% swirl free but unfortunately there is sometimes more to life. if i could i would and i envy those who can :P

    Doesn't apply to those with their own well ;)
