Waterless Car Wash

Postby jivebunny2 » Wed May 28, 2008 9:07 pm

I have come across a new way to wash and polish a Car without water, did you know we use 50-150 liters of water every time we wash a car,

This new eco friendly product will save our supplies every time a car is washed, no need for the hose pipes, and no risk of fines, the site is able to supply to Cyprus.

Could do the same thing with a litre of water and a spray bottle.

A neighbour of mine is about to install a 5 Tonne water tank on his roof!

I hope it ends up in his bedroom!

Just been back to the UK for a week. Aaaaahhhhh!!! Almost forgot how good 24/7 decent pressured water was :)

Haven't read any posts here for a week, so sorry if this has been said before but I got back to this:-

Basically expect to lose another 12 hours of water a week (in a couple of days, oh and forget expect, it is deffo happening in Limassol it seems). Sigh...

Cheers

After rebuking the neighbour yet again for hosing down her patios at 10 pm under the cover of darkness I decided enough was enough and approached a couple of policemen who just happened to be taking a breather in our street. I asked the law concerning the use of a hose and was informed it was indeed illegal.
Will you do something about it?
Yep! proceeded to get mobile out and made a call.
Call this number and report her to the water authority.
This was duly done and hopefully somebody has been round to see her now.
The police men drove off!!!!!

Anyway for anyone who does wish to report a "neighbour" in Limassol here is the 24 hour hotline number 25386484

Have fun
