Jet Wash machines

Hello,
I'm looking for self service Jet Wash machines around Lakeside Shopping centre or near bay, where you can wash car your self.

Thanks.

Nooooooo don't do it- wash it with a bucket and hand mit, preferably the 2 bucket method. Your cars paint work will look fresher in years to come 😉

I do live in the flat, is it ok to wash car in the car park? Any restrictions by council or property management.

Thanks.

We won't be able to answer questions about your local area. Best bet is to talk to your landlord, look at your contract, or just go ahead and do it.

you can use a jet wash but for the love of god don't use the brush!

I used to use a local "pay-as you go" jetwash (put £1 in get 3-4mins etc.) to clean my car when I had no access to my own external water supply.

As people have said, don't use the brushes but the jet wash can provide a good power rinse. I'd take a boot with 2 buckets, shampoo and 4x 5litre bottles of water I'd filled up.
Then I could fill my buckets up at the jet wash with my own shampoo. Shampoo the car with my wash mitt then rinse with the jet wash for another £1.

I'd try go at a quiet time if you're doing this though as it took me a bit longer than joe blogg who just wants to quickly wash and sand his car down (with the brush! lol)

use a bucket, better for your car.

I live in a flat and clean mine in a car park every week. a lot of running up and down stairs ... and waiting on tap to fill up the bucket ... but its fine.
