Anyone know any good mobile valets?
So I have had to move again and the cat sleeps in a shipping container (no elec, no water) nearby.
Carrying a bucket there is a bit awkward, so is parking outside my flat and washing it on the road
Anyone know of any "Mobile Valets" that do / specialize in bikes?

Likewise, could help in London.
I have a Hozelock spray thing for cars/bikes was about £20, sure I got it from Halfrauds. Think it holds 5-8 liters, you hand pump up the tank and it's ready to use. Pressure is less than a hose pipe but easier than a bucket. Needs a few cranks to keep the pressure up though. It bit like a garden sprayer.
Been eying this out but at £220 and no stock, I'm safe in just looking

I bought something similar from ebay in March last year, when we were about to start a hosepipe ban. It hasn't stopped raining since. Is there a connection?SteveCat wrote:

The £220 version has it's own power source.. for a mere <cough> £140 there's one you can hook to the bike battery - I'd guess don't run it too long though!
£65 is about right, well for my part of the world. Two of those and you bought the Nomad.
I found the bucket method a real pain, needed to fill the bucket a good few times as the water got so dirty. That pump sprayer I mentioned is a vast improvement - water always clean and only refill it once, and that's only because I put 'bike bubble bath' (turtle wax car wash) in the wash cycle.
Maybe we need to talk Bob into giving his up and stop all the rain

The Nomad units I mentioned have been out of production - got an email from the company today saying they have some of their older units for sale on .
Still not the price of a bucket though. Not sure I'll get to try the one I've bought and report if it's any good before they are all sold.
