Yep never trust anyone else to clean your car mate, but thanks for being big enough to post this as a lesson for all of us not to compromise.

I never let anyone near my paint, not that its in A1 condition or anything, I just see what they use.
The local Tesco have a company in the car park and they use a jet washer and get about 5CM's away with it on full pelt, cant imagine the damage they are doing to cars!
At Sainsburys they are using trollys and no hoses just a small plastic pot of dirty water!... I dont know why people use them!
2 Buckets for me

Most of these are just a front for laundering money so they don't really give a f##k about taking the paint off your pride & joy.

What did you expect would happen when a powerful jetwash came in to contact with paint that was already peeling? Anyone with a brain would avoid jetwashing a bonnet suffering from paint peel!
