                    Ok apologies if this is a bit long winded. I have seen the flash car wash system in Poundstretcher priced up at £6.99. However, I recently went to Instore (same company as poundstretcher) and a sign in the window suggested they were £4.99. I did not see any in stock at this store, although I did not look hard as it was closing time. But I have definitely seen them for £6.99 in poundstretcher and the RRP is £19.99.
Only problems are - refills of shampoo and filters cost alot more than the shampoo sticks you put in those cheap brush hose attachments that you can get at wilkinsons, tescos, probably even poundland. I am sure I read somewhere that the line was discontinued, not certain on this but wilkinsons seemed well stocked on the refills (with the full kit at £19.99).
Hopefully this will help someone, and maybe even I will get one if I can be convinced they are better than a bucket of water, car shampoo, a big sponge, wax and a polishing cloth.

            Hi guys,
 Went to Makro today and managed to pick up some very cheap Flash car wash system refills as they are doing a clearance.
 These prices exclude VAT.
 £1.48 - Auto Dry Filter
 £0.98 - Concentrated Car Shampoo
 You will need to be a member to buy but I'm sure there are several Money Savers that are members of Marko!
 I picked up 5 of each myself, so grab them while you can!0

            I picked up a couple of refills last year in Asda cheap but not as cheap as Makro!
 I heard this was being discontinued too but it works well and leaves the car clean and smear free. Perhaps not as cheap as car shampoo and water but saves a fortune if you go to the car wash regularly.This site has saved me a fortune :money: ...it's also cost me a fortune! :doh:
