    Might have to sell my car :(

    Work has really taken off lately & so I'm finding I need a bigger van with a bigger reach & wash system, been offered a 2 pole system & some extra work by my old boss for a grand + my old van & system as he is down-sizing. Thing is this means I'm still needing a van, something along the lines of an expert/transporter ideally but a vivaro or transit would do the job equally as well.
    So basically I will be needing to find £2500+ depending on what van I get & if Mr. bank manager won't play ball the car will have to go, gutted but not sure what else I can do

    That's why I don't wash it with 2 buckets. I got a great deal when I bought my Clio 182. Mum paid for it, insures it and borrows it when I'm not using it lol. She's done less miles in the Clio, fact. :P

    The Clios been awesome, great car, great engine..

    Re: Might have to sell my car :(

    when i was still in school i worked with a window cleaner, helping and doing.. im pretty sure this was when the first pure feed systems came into play.. the boss had the hi ace fitted out with a massive tank, all the floor was covered in resin or something, all the tanks, filters etc were all around the sides of the van.. it was unreal..

    i went to the place building it all and they got the gear out to test for impurities in water.. there garden tap had 500 or so, out the pure feed system 8 and that was most likely from the outlet pipe..

    cleaning you car with its a win, streak free everytime, no drying

    Thats the kiddie Dave, mine comes out the tap around 300, goes in the tank between 10-30 depending on pressure & comes out after the resin @ 0.

    Going to look at the van later so fingers crossed it's what I need
