    Wouldn't touch them with a barge pole myself.

    They have a tendency to scuff and lightly score the car.

    Used it pre NTC once and tester told me to to properly clean my car underneath next time told him where I got it done and he said its always the case with the topaz wash.

    Maybe they are different in different locations all the same.

    they always make your wheels look half clean and miss a patch of dirt always. can't beat a decent power wash

    That's a bargain all right. Must check my local - I normally wash my own car but at that price why would I?

    Power wash used incorrectly will do a lot more damage to paint than a car wash.

    Any power wash devices people recommend? I would like to use on my family bikes too at the same time...

    :FAcepalm:

    Please don't. Here get this instead http://www.wiggle.co.uk/muc-off-wash-and-lube-kit/

    If you insist on powerwashing the bikes please be careful around bearings, cassettes and gears as well as spokes.

    That's the topaz owned by dennis o'brien with brian cowen as a member of the board.
    Wouldn't buy a box of matches from 'em.
