Car Wash


If anyone thinking of going to Cobbold  Gourge QLD,heading back from Mount Surprise singage on the road invites you to put your rig through the free car wash to prevent plant material from being transported to other places. Good IDEA in princible, but a fellow traveller used it doing the right thing, and now his Brand New Navara is now covered in etched water drops, and are imposible to remove. He is also concerned what effect this is going to have on his vans aluminium panels, as the water was sprayed under pressure.The water that is used is from a bore and not thinking he used it as he said there were no signs warning of the bore water.

Hope this info may stop someone else from this happening to them.( He was wondering if it was just him or has anyone had this problem ) Re the use of using these washes. I have never used them myself due to the fact of not knowing where the water was from .

We wash our cars with bore water all the time. If you chamois it off as soon as it is rinsed there is usually no spotting. If you let the water dry on the vehicle it will spot but a quick polish will get that off usually.

If you wash your car with a light vinegar solution all the water spots will disappear and also chamois it off as soon as possible
