My drive is shared with next door who have 3 cars so finding a day when they have no cars so I can pressure wash in peace is unlikely.

I need some ideas on guards so I can put it up round the car so I don't snow foam the car next to me, preferably with weights on the feet so it doesn't move under light wind.

Anyone got any current solutions or ideas?

Next house is my own drive but that won't be for ages haha

Cheers

Get a pop up gazebo for like £50 :)
I thought about that but I think it would limit my movement and it would go mouldy pretty quick lol its almost like I need a metal sheet on weights in an L shape

I think you're onto a business winning idea...

But where would you store it haha. Imagine explaining to your missus what it is, and why it's stored in the house...

It would be an awesome thing to have and it could fold flat for storage against a wall in my garage lol

It's making sure it doesn't flop over in the wind on someone's car and it isn't fabric as that would have to dry...

Better if it was waterproof material, much lighter and easier to move about
Yeah my thoughts exactly but not making it into a sail and flying off is the next issue lol

They have three cars - how many cars have you got and how much space are you allowed through boundary or allocated space etc? If it were me, ZFG if one of their cars gets sprayed imo!

Yeah 3 cars which can fit on the drive at a squeeze, we have 2 but have guests quite abit so may as well be 3 lol

Part of me thinks that I'm the only one on the street that actually cleans their car themselves so anything I do is strange haha I couldn't leave a car half clean if I made it that way lol my Ocd would kick in.
Maybe this
They look awesome but I woudknt get any movement in there with a jet wash lol

Wear a cape? Then you can block the water bouncing back off the car. Just keep your back to theirs! In my head it looks summat like this:

I need something like that but split in half as half of my car is against a fence so that's all good. I think something fully enclosed will make it hard to see any bits ive missed... I just need to cover next doors cars from the spray of the snow foam lol That would be good for festivals though and it's a good price!
