    There a bunch of guys based at Tesco car park that wash vehicles on site, think they have pressure washers.
    If you have a drive way then I would just buy a cheap one from argos for around £40 soon save yout money back.

    P.S. be careful with high power jet washes as electrical circuits, my Kawasaki manual says avoid using them. Should be Ok with a chep one at a reasonable distance though.

    It may have changed as I moved from Salisbury in 2007 but is the wash place on Southampton Road on the A36 opposite the Merc garage still there? They used to have them.

    Go careful with the jet wash - I've seen people blow light bikes over Also could be a long push home if you get water in the electrics!

    And keep the jet away from your wheel bearings! Basically think of anything that moves (as in either going round and round or up and down) and is likely to have any form of lubrication in it, and avoid going there with the jet - simples! [smiley=thumbsup.gif]
