It is on mine (2001 car)' date=' but I think they changed it shortly after that and it's now non-detachable .... well, you can detach it with a car wash apparently

Thats a bugger. I suppose it's so people dont nick them. Not that I understand a) why someone would nick it or how this is going to stop them breaking it instead. c) they only cost about

:orb_hot: :orb_hot: Here in the sunny south got no water to wash :(

Hand wash only for my octy..and divorce for the wifey if she goes anywhere near those automated pan scourers !

As for those handwash places, I wonder how many times the spotty yooof, working for 'cash in hand' , cleans the dirt off his sponge after he has dropped it on the floor before he rubs it across your bonnet?

..nope bucket and sponge for me every time thanks....

Biggest nightmare came true last night.I have never put either of our vRS's through a car wash but I had to put Jane's black fab through last night.

The thing was covered head to toe in thick sticky sap (I presume it was sap) and I was really worried about leaving it on the paintwork any longer.

So I went for it.

Buy one of the new Flash washers from halfrauds. I got one and was totally impressed with the finish. No right arm 'waxing' ache for me anymore...
