Flash car wash System

[Andy Monty]

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

theyre actually quite good but i prefer the pressure washer lol

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

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

i personally thinks its crap. . . much prefer good old hose down > wash and wax shampoo in bucket of warm water > hose down > chamois

dont use warm water on new paint types, and use 2 buckets not 1
