Is there any point in a 2 bucket wash if you do a long pre-clean?

5 mins for the foam to dwell and then 30 mins to rinse it off!!!!!

Just over two months 'til the end of the year...but this is surely a contender for thread of the year?

Tbh an hour and a half to do a proper safe wash isnt excessive, most of the time by the time i’ve got everything out done prewash, a proper wash and doing wheels thoroughly etc then dried including door shuts and dressing tyres and finally packing up it is usually an hour and a half

Yes but the hour and a half here is just the time the water is coming out of the "look at me my Kartcher is much more expensive than yours"

On step 1 it did seem odd to state the make and power of the washer, to the point of stating it's an industrial model.
Most people would just say step 1, jet wash for x minutes (x usually being singular even if it's not the super industrial model that dims the neighbours lights).

I didn't see he injured back bit. I'd find a good detailer. I found near me that charges £20 to £40 depending on what is done.

So wheres Sub?
Hope he's OK and not offended at what anyone has said about the way he chooses (for whatever reason) to wash his car.
His car, his washer, his water.
Come on Sub, life's too short to get upset about what people think, if that is why you've gone quiet.
If I've said anything that's upset or annoyed you, please accept my apology. I can only speak for myself but I'm sure others are wondering why you've not replied.
Hope you're well mate.

Perhaps he's just seen his water bill

I have a jet washer (non industrial) to clean my other jet washer after cleaning the car with it. Do I need another jet washer to jet wash the secondary jet washer or am I safe using the now clean first jet washer (also non industrial) to clean it?
