Dear All,

Well been Green lane driving and sliding this last couple of weeks...!

RRS needs a serious clean, I heard rumours that you must not Jet Wash because of the sensors? This is correct? Apprecaite any help?

I use a jet wash most weekends when cleaning my car. Or should I say the man who cleans my car uses a jet wash.

Never had any problems with parking sensors and can't recall anyone else posting about problems either. Arctic Frost TDV6 SE.

don't directly fire the jet wash at the parking sensors, that the only advice you'll need

and..... use two buckets when washing it , one for the shampoo and one to rinse the lambswool washmit in before putting it into the shampoo bucket again

....or get the local fodder to do it. As to avoid sensor damage, get them to use their tongues for rinsing  L322 Big Daddy SUPERCHARGED 5.0 Autobiography - Here & Now!

Its the wheel sensors that have caused the problems as they aren't that waterproof. I've never had a problem though, just be a little careful. LRE jet wash their cars every day so I guess that means LR are happy with you doing it. Porsche Cayenne S Diesel 66 Plate

I remember when I had the Q7 the jet wash took the paint clean off, it was actualy a fault and they replaced all the sensors with colour coded ones instead of painted sensors Speed Limits! not where I live!

I seem to recall from a top car mag that you shouldn't jet wash the tyres as the pressure can cause damage to the tyre walls which may result in a failure at a time that you don't want one  TDV6 - gone

Don't wash a Range Rover! Not washing it for a year gives it the original Landlord-look!

I'll post pictures of my very dirty car if I'll be able to leave office during daytime today.













Okay, okay, I would like to wash it, it looks so good when clean but I must not since my windows have been tinted a few days ago and they must not become wet on the inside which could happen while washing it.  RRS TDV6 HSE, 2006, bonatti grey, ebony interior, rear diff, s/c grille and vents, stormers, privacy, tasmods, iphone integration

I wouldnt let a jet wash near my paintwork as its like sand paper

No jet washes in OZ due to the drought good excuse to get the missus and mates to wash it for them

I though that the jet washing of tyres was not recommended because the water can enter the tyre through the beading seal under pressure, either filling the tyre with water or breaking the bead seal and deflating the tyre.

A couple times after jetwashing it, the front sensor were constantly beeping... Next times it took care of not ponting the thing directly into the sensors, no problems.

By the way, does the jetwashing really ruins the paintwork as Johngilham said?
