id like to see them try, im sure they can though but i would make a fuss, i know my local one doesnt mind since i do it all the time and the guys walking around picking up trash while i am all the time

I know, I have never seen anyone get escorted off. He might tell you to not use the bucket if the place is crowed and others are waiting in line. Yeah it is a pain when you live in an apartment.

oh well if theres someone behind me im not going to sit in the stall, but theres almost always a spot, id rather stay in the stall though and out of the sun

he tried to get me to leave ill just put some quarters in, tell him "see im paying" and them spray him with the high pressure soap :grin:

I also ran an extension cord down and had a small shop vac to clean the interior. The management didnt like it, but I told them to point out where in the lease it stated I couldnt do it. They never bothered me again.

Thats ingenuity for you. Excellent technique.

Here's a funny story
When I was younger I had a friend who lived in an apt and didn't have access to a hose
Well one day my parents and I came home from a shopping trip and as we turned the corner to our court, my friend was washing his car in our driveway


My parents were cool about it but gave him a really hard time for a few months
Needless to say, if you're going to use your friends house, make sure you tell them

Yeah, I was afraid of this too--there are actually signs at the one I go to-- "No Bucket Washing". I just was trying to figure out the best way to use their equipment with the least amount of risk to the paint!!!
