Flash car wash System

whats it like? saw plenty of old posts about it from 2005 ish in the search is anyone still using there's or was it a pie in the sky idea? Whats the filter contain? im a bit dubious that it contains something like dishwasher salt to deionise the water cant see that been good for the car...

they are going for a £5 in our local discount store with the filters at 50p each so is it worth it??


many thanks

Re: Flash car wash System

they're good for a basic wash, saves a bit of time, but if I was going to polish the car I wouldn't bother using it as you're going to spend a bit of time wiping marks off panels anyway

Re: Flash car wash System

No complaints with mine. Does exactly waht it says it does. I live in a "streaky water" area and on my last 2 cars really had to work hard, even with a leather, if I didnt use the Flash kit. You MUST use de-ionised water to rinse though, makes ALL the difference. Thumbs up from me
