Nah, in Germany if you taught them to speak English instead of German, they wouldn't understand all the road signs, shop signs, and the labels on the zoo enclosures...

The first time I drove on a motorway in Germany I couldn't work out why there were so many signs pointing to a place called Ausfart.

Always use a shoe box, unless of course times are tough and you're "living in it on side road" ;D

Washed Cammo's car and the commodore.. no photos was too cold..
Cams car hadnt been washed in a month so had a fair wack of dirt and road grime and Shit on it

Its good for getting surface dust off, similar to a garden hose...
Its amazing for spreading the soapy Shit over the car - the whole car was just white soapy Shit
But you still need the 2 buckets and sponge to give it a proper clean.

So I stick to a wash and shine with hot water in a wheel barrow and soft broom  :cheers: :cheers:

Pretty much...
If you could pickup the blower attachment for 20-40 I'd be happy... but not $100
Maybe different soapy Shit would make a difference... dunno... it uses surprisingly little cleaning stuff to coat both cars completely in foam

But you possibly could get same spread of soapy Shit with a garden sprayer but not as foamy or thick

Mine was thicker and foamier than this stock photo..




edit: Cheap option?

How would they go up the sides of a van ???

Would the foam have enough range to reach all the way up ???

Looks like truck wash to me, but with more foam.

Truck wash doesn't do the job on its own either....

WOW, needed to replace a 6.0ah Makita 18V lithium battery, sheesh, in the last 8 months they have increased by about $45, to about $189.00.
Or I can buy 2 for $340.00.
Then I start looking at a lithium for a second battery in the Criuser, sheesh.
I'll need a dc/dc lithium charger, there's another $450 or so.
Ouch.
