For those that do not go to the local manual (Manuel? ) car wash but DIY especially those with black cars or OCD there maybe just the aid you need. A water filter that is plugged in the hose when on the final rinse. I assume it acts like the modern window cleaners kit that hides in the many such Transit vans that I see locally. It is a 5KG / 50cm high canister that looks a bit like a fire extinguisher. Just over £100 including p & p. Throw that chamois leather away and save a lot of time ?

You could move somewhere that has fresh unrecycled tap water or use bottled water to wash your car (and drink). :-) Reply to this message | Report message

I like a chamois. Comforting. You can sort of stroke your car without looking weird. ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

Never worn Lycra, real men don't, you're thinking of the likes of RO'R and his road bike compatriots, you know, the ones who cause problems... ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

Saw a cyclist today with a streak of mud up his back. He was wearing a rugger shirt though so must have known what to expect. The bike, I noted, had a cute little cutaway rear mudguard narrower than the knobbly tyre... Why bother?, I wondered. Reply to this message | Report message

....yes; I understand there are those that "stroke" a car with the "chamois" so much that a whole door mirror gets worn away.........allegedly. ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

I dont so much enjoy stroking her's as I do mine, if you see what I mean? Her car is lumpen and bloated to the touch, whereas mine is angular and solid feeling. ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

I remember having a similar product before from Flash, it was a cartridge type system you connected to the hose. Worked quite well but the cartridges dissapered from sale Reply to this message | Report message

Soft water area here so no trouble with water marks. The downside is that hot water seems to cool quicker than in a hard water area so the last cup out of the pot is a bit tepid. I don't know if that is scientific fact or just my own perception. Reply to this message | Report message

Google shows some cartridge type water filters of various makes >>Worked quite well but the cartridges disappeared from sale Yes always a risk with such products. I am guessing that the magic contents are obtainable elsewhere ,Hoping that there is not some clever inner container. Reply to this message | Report message

No thanks. I find it is much less effort, and I get better results, if once a month, I go to those nice chaps at Esher Rugby Club and have eight quid's worth. Couple of times a time a year after grandchildren have been in the car, have fourteen quid's worth and have the inside done as well. Eight quid for an LEC, what's not to like?

Soft water and vinegar work wonders... the vinegar makes the dirt float away easier.. Reply to this message | Report message

I either wash the car with wax free shampoo just before it rains and rinses it off or the local Jet Wash (£2 or £3 for an equally sparkling vehicle, including ultra clean alloys, depending on how dirty it is at first). Reply to this message | Report message

An application to each wheel at the jetwash, wait a minute or so, jetwash off for spotless wheels. I use my pressure washer. Reply to this message | Report message

Neat water makes your insides go rusty. Have you seen what it did to BMC / BL products. Reply to this message | Report message
