its a good idea!

but also guys - u can still use a high pressure device with the source as a bucket

i checked this up yesterday and its all good - but you gotta buy a high pressure cleaner.

Stage 3

'No hand held hoses on vehicles*'

*A bucket filled from a tap can be used to clean windows, mirrors and lights; and spot remove corrosive substances. A commercial car wash can be used.

High pressure systems are only allowed under Stage 2, and are useless under stage 3.

pfeeew! i just got myself one a couple weeks back.

so instead of connecting it to a tap u just connect it to a bucket of water instead??

The only parts you can wash with a bucket during stage 3 restrictions are windows and mirrors.

Otherwise you'll need to use a commercial car wash.

do you guys think that if connect my pressure gun to a bucket of water it would be the same as using a bucket of water like that brochure states?

it would be using the same ammout of water.

.....well i got a major hang over from last nite, and now this - shower every 2 days? man thats crap! We are going to be one smelly state.....

nah, should have clarified that - the whole process takes a long time.....wash, dry, vaccum, polish, applying paint cleaner to those marks that people unexpectedly leave on my car - its a whole process...

Level 4 doesn't mention anything about showering, let alone doing it only every 2 days

[paulr33]

you can bet your bottom dollar that the entire fleet of vic gov vehicles are all nice & clean!

see guys, i was smart. Black cars with white rims hide all dirt!

is this really true? It's recycled water though why would it matter. Dont think we will see many car wash places shutting down when stage 4 comes. Maybe the profit earned would be larger than the fine issued.

Guess its time to wash our cars with bottled water

Vehicle washing

A vehicle may only be washed for health and safety reasons. A bucket filled from a tap

can be used to clean windows, mirrors and lights; and spot-remove corrosive substances.

This applies to commercial car washes as well.

well if i have dirt on my car, this will give me stress of it eating/scratching my paint.

I think thats a valid health issue
