Odd question for you...

Ok, so I know that I should be abel to dedicate some time to cleaning my mini but I'm afraid it'll have to wait. In the meantime, is it possible to use the petrol station 'jet washes' safely on the cars. I have never even used a pressure washer on it before as it is easy enough to do by hand, but as a quick fix? have people done this before. The cars in great condition and the seals seam fine, but i just want to know if it will end in tears?

Thanks

Jon

Shouldn't be a problem as long as you stay fairly well back from the car. It's the Minis with rusty A panels etc who really need to avoid jet washes.

If you're careful and don't spray directly into your door seals etc you'll be ok.

I'd personally be more worried about the brush or more specifically any grit etc that's sitting in it.

Why not go to a hand car wash?
