With the hose ban in many counties coming into effect in 2 days time (5th April 2012), i thought i would share my experiences with eco friendly washing. I have adopting this method of washing to have zero run off due to SEPA (Scottish Environmental Protection Agency) producing a rule against run off...

Looks fantastic, good pics too

Biggest tip I can give, use bottled water....it's different if you live somewhere with soft water (like Scotland) but when I used it in England I was not impressed when working off the main water supply, I put it down the limescale etc....

Not sure if anyone has heard of the brand Permanon, only recent to the automotive industry in the UK they have produced a sealant which is possible the easiest product to apply in the world !

I have only used Z2 and Z5, Z2 with Polycharger was really good, not sure if it attracted dust anymore than any other product, until a few weeks ago i was using it under my Swissvax and Dodo Juice waxes, but i have changed to using Wolf's Chemicals sealant which requires an IPA wife down so using Z2...

I know the problem i have my daughter who is coming on 5, she can spot defects now lol she has her own pressure washer and LED torch to find swirls etc lol

Thanks Nick, im glad its appealling to at least one person

A small update, nothing major, but as you would know if following this thread, the gasket for the aerial was missing....I thought it would be a headlining out job and slightly worried by that prospect, but found on ebay was one which didnt require the headlining to be removed, some hot water to stre...

Had an interesting conversation with VW UK customer service today, was wondering about the paint code as after i detailed it, the pics makes it looks slightly blue so wondered if it was actually Nebio blue metallic and not the Satin Silver Metallic, but was confirmed as the Satin Silver, but more in...
