wash

It's cold but sunny outside and I am dreading washing my Sprinter (it's like washing a limo) which I am going to start doing now after I have had a nice warm cup of coffee first. :) So how many of you will be washing your cars later on unless you have already done so this morning...?

I always hand wash my cars myself and my Sprinter BUT the hose pipe ban is still in place in our area and it is not pratical to wash the Sprinter with buckets…:rolleyes: The Sprinter needed a good wash and was absolutely filthy so I had taken it down to a hand car wash to have washed/dried...

Hi all, I've got my motor in for an MOT tomorrow, but I know the headlamp wash doesnt work (think the pipe's come off at the back). Is that grounds for a fail??? Thanks!

Ok I'm new here so hi all and please give me some advice... I have just bought a 2001 slk 230 in black (not metallic). I love the car and want it to be perfect but sadly it isn't, so now I've got to find out how to sort it... The problem is the car's been put through an automatic car wash...

Car: W124 300D estate (1995). When I turn on my lights, the washer sprays onto the headlight, emptying my washer reservoir, even though washer on stalk not pressed. Does anyone know what is wrong? Fuses etc all ok. Have had to unplug headlamp washer pump on reservoir, and connections to...

If anyone can help with this problem, then I will be grateful. Car is a 1995 W124 300TD. Problem was headlamp wipers would not work, but washers did. I checked fuses (2 & 3 I think) and checked relay (position D - even checked inside relay - looks fine). I cleaned and checked wipers...

I added screenwash and tried to use it it squirts a little out on screen and stops. does the same thing over and over again :bannana: :bannana:

Has anyone tried one of these Flash carwashing thingies? My father has bought one and is raving about it. I'm not sure it won't ultimately go the way of all other garden-hose accessories and only see the light of day again when the shed falls down...

Could any body explain why the workshop where I send my car to for automatic gear oil change needs to hook up the gear box to a machine that according to the mechanic washes the gear box. Some other workshops do not do that. Is washing really necessary? How often must automatic gear oil be...

Hi there, I have what seems like a dumb question, but hopefully someone can help me with it !! I've just taken delivery of my new C220 CDI Avantgarde SE, and I'm really pleased with it. But what are you supposed to do for washing it ? I'm not really into standing around with a bucket and...

If you have to use the brush at the jet wash, why not remember to use the high pressure lance on the brush before letting the brush anywhere near your car - it helps ensure its as clean and grit free as possible. Marc

Which is the best for washing a sponge or the new type wash mitts?

hi all, currently i'm using a 1994 C280 and recently there is a problem everytime after a car wash. i found that there is water coming somewhere and it makes the bottom part of the passenger side panel wet. surely there is no leaking on the side windows but not sure whether it's the...

Couldn't find a better place than bodywork!! Does anyone have a layout of the screen wash and headlamp wash system please? My E320CDI has too healthy an appetite for wash water. (lost 1 litre in 2 days) I've found and fixed one small leak, but the system is hidden well and I'm trying to...

I have always washed my cars by hand, but practical considerations mean that it would be so much easier to just take the C43 to the nearest car wash and be done with it. However, it would be with a bleeding heart... Anyone had good/bad experiences with car washes?
