Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson -
Yep, you can't wash your car in the street here (although I have seen people do it) and its mainly to do with environmental causes. All that soapy water with its detergents gets washed down into the drains and is a bugger to filter out. Car washes here are pretty good and well used, some are massive and very good. The one I go to costs me €18 which gets me a couple of guys who pre-wash it first and then a full over-under body wash. I can then pay a bit more and a guy will do the interior and then give it a good polish.
There are quite a few rules and regulations here which seem mad to people moving here but are actually quite good. Mowing your lawn on a Sunday is a no-no, DIY at certain times is also a no-no but being able to have big booze up party sessions in the street with no aggravation seems to be okay“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

Originally posted by darmstadt View PostI like where you're coming from Actually every time I take my car into the dealers they have one of those car valeting firms onsite and they do it (and it don't cost) even when there is no need
They also let you take the car away without paying on the spot, and send the bil through the post. Very civilised.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

It could be that the 35 EUR means you get washed and polished personally by a car cleaning "professional", not in an automatic car wash. Though I suspect the report is just completely wrong.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment

Here in Holland if you buy a new or used Mercedes from the dealer you can use their carwash for free for as long as you own the car.
Wouldn´t suprise me if it´s the same in Germany.And what exactly is wrong with an "ad hominem" argument? Dodgy Agent, 16-5-2014Comment
