Hi anyone got one of these other than our good reviewers at bikemagic, what do others do to wash the bike before it goes in the car any other portable washers anyone know of.

Haven't got one but I want one. It'd be interesting to see if anyone has had any experience with one of the little blighters.

They lent us one for SSMM and it was really impressive, made cleaning bikes much easier, obviously!

I've seen a lot of people using things with a hand pump on the top you can get from garden centres I believe, I just bought a 'boot liner' tarp for my car and stick the muddy bike on that.

I use the hand pump method, although this does look a damn site more refined, to be frank.

However, at SSMM I bribed the guys at the Finish Line stand with beer. Far easier and I got to jump the queue.

:-D

Got one its Great..! Cleans the bike before it goes on to of the car. Had Scott ransom test bike out a couple weeks ago covered it head to toe in mud.. Went back to the shop cleaner than thay gave it to me. You can get three bikes cleaned easly. Well worth the £85

Cheers Jay.

If that 300zx refers to your car, nice!

Not as nice as a Skyline though ;)

I've got one and it does the job. I've been doing a lot of winter riding this season and have been getting pretty damn muddy. This said, I've rarely managed to completely clean my muddy beast with much less than a full Dirtworker tank of water. On one particulaly disgusting ride it took two full tanks.

I live in a flat sans garden or hose, so the Dirtworker solves my bike cleaning problem perfectly. It's built to last too.

Those bikes didn't realise just how lucky they were :)

having planned to go to wharncliff to get really muddy the company phoned to say there was a fault on the mains lead and not to use it and they will send us a new one so had to clean the dam things the old way and boy did we get muddy.

a fault on the mains lead

If it had a mains lead then there was definitely a fault :-)

Hello

Snoochy. You must be one of the people I spoke to on Saturday. Sorry about the problem with the cable. By they way it is not a mains cable, everybody, it's the cable you plug into your car.

I'm expecting the new cables tomorrow and the envelopes are ready waiting for them. So you should have your cable on Friday/Saturday.

finally back from hols
Dirt Worker will clean 2 reasonably dirty fairly clean its easy to use and keeps the inside of my car clean so it does what it says on the tin, Spray is ok for a portable although i worry that the pipe fitting on the gerry can looks a bit weak. Overall good
