I cleaned my caravan with pure water,and it strips the old paint off! There was a stream of what looked like spilt milk going down the road. Thing is its an old caravan with old paint,does react funny so who knows what it could do with old car paint.

It sounds like your customer may well be trying it on but ask yourself this - Are you a window cleaner or a car valeter? I would stick to windows. Also does your insurance cover you to clean cars? It's a risk not worth taking.

Pure water is used by valett business and is a s pure rain the white one would is oxidised paint of an old car and red is the one that will oxidise the most as it is red oxide in the old paints that come off most with blus been the least. My Dad was a car paint expert and he always said never buy ared car.When you wash a car that you havew not washed for years the loose oxidises top coat that will come off. The best thing is and I would not fix it is toclean with a paint inpregnated polish.DEf not t cut as it migt take off all the thin top coat.

find a red nissan over 10 yrs old and the bonnet will be pink.

the vannette was awful for it.

any red proton will do the same.

its an old car sprayed with dated paint.

i wouldnt worry.

its pure water....just like rain. no bleach, no detergents, nothing harmful

thought you had sold up m8????
it is not the wfp that did it, can you remember a few years ago flash bought out an attachment to put n the end of a hose to rinse off cars when washed, i think this was just a resin container (same as wfp) so no way will it have been that. tell her you have done many cars before and never had a problem.


sold up but kept enough to keep me going on a saturday to make a bit extra money for the baby fund!

Knock on her door, when she answers throw a bucket of pure on her.
Then ask if she needs treatment for the burns  ;D

The jetwash at my local Morrisons has a rinse setting which is purified water.

No Chuffer moaning at them about "burnie water"

I clean my van with pure water all the time. Its only water, same as rain but you mustn't ever use washing up liquid on a car.

the colour change can easily be explained. it was dirty red and now it is clean red. obviously it will look different.
