Reply to: Recommendations for tip-top quality car pressure washer

[Troll]

I bought a Karcher Xpert-HD 7125 Deluxe - mainly for the drum cable handling -I was sick of trailing hose

It does the trick and if coupled with the FR hard surface & patio cleaner thingy makes light work of clearing the crud from the patio each year

Just purchased a K4 Ecologic Home Ed (older model) with all the cleaning stuff for patio etc for £132 (inc 12m warr'ty), it is refurbed but looks good to me. B&Q were selling the same thing (without cleaning tools) for 200 notes last week.

Since the car wash geeks have found a home in here , what are the recommendations for polishing one's vehicle?

Many thanks for the helpful replies guys

Sorry I'm late to the party on this one.

(If you've not got one yet, get a Stihl; Smiths hire shops sell them and hire them out, which gives you an idea of quality. I got the RE-118 a couple of years ago and it's brilliant. The pump is very quiet, like a small generator, brass water cooled. The hose is reinforced like those air hoses you see on garage forecourts.

I bought one of those swirly nozzle things for doing the patio, expecting it to be about £70, it was only about £32, unbelievable how fast it gets the patio done compared to those flat ones.

I wouldn't bother with my daily runabout (35 for full ext/int clean + wax from H2O in bullring car park) however if I bought a second classic car or something a bit more expensive I'd certainly look after it more.

Strange thing to type.

I find it interesting and if it was in general I wouldn't have got some useful information.

Why this thead is in technical section instead of general.
The guy that's living here and the mods must be sleeping.

See my previous post - properly washing a car can be very technical.

Or is the technical section just for specific technical questions? where is the line?

Nice try.

Ahhh... The old man's car?

Yes because you normally need to be over 40 to insure it

Ahhh... The old man's car?

Nahh, he's got a jag. Because he is old.

Unless you meant that merc are old men's cars... In which case I'm practising for being your age

No matter how hard you wash that car, I'm afraid it will still be a Ford.
