Car Cleaning and Detailing, could you, would you, should you?

I might invest in that gun especially as it's on offer at the moment, in fact it's waiting in my basket as I type this. The one I've got needs larger hands than I've got to be comfortable and I've got larger than average hands.

You mention the frustration of everything coming with Karcher fittings and having to get a Nilfisk adaptor. My first pressure washer was a Bosch with its own propriety connector. Trying to get an adaptor was near impossible so gave up and went down the Karcher route.

Yes it was frustrating, coincidentally it seems Nilfisk and Bosch use the same fittings.

Wouldn't it be amazing if all manufacturers used compatible fittings.

Was thinking that very thing, maybe someone should legit that, bit like the use of a single format for mobile phones.

Are you saying "The Castle" isn't a cult film over there I guess it is very Australian tongue in cheek humour

"Video unavailable" @T1 Terry, I hope it's not rude.

Tempted to set my VPN to Melbourne to find out.

The Castle

Is that it?

Yeah, that's it, nothing rude in it, pure tongue in cheek Aussie humour, I think every Aussie would be able to quote at least two lines from it, "That's going straight to the pool room" "Know anything about lead" .....

You have me hooked now, saw the trailer, I feel a bit of torrenting is imminent….

 

[MG Clive]

I feel we've strayed a little off-topic here (naughty @T1 Terry), but what the hell, ya can't beat a bit of classic Benny Hill humour.

It’ll end in Cheers.

Or even Frasier.

Getting back on track, today between the torrential rain, sun and hail I got the chance to try out the Masterwash stubby gun, and I was not disappointed.

Now, the car had the full treatment on Tuesday so it did not need a wash, but the front steps haddenthad a power wash for a while so Idecided to test it on those.

Have to say loved it, great ergonomics, easy to hold and precision control, tried all of the supplied jets, perfect, mind you the red full on was crazy, note to self, do not touch the red full on near the car.

Voila

Highly recommended.

I haven't got past foam cannon. I have a K7 power with a foam bottle attachment and use the Jewel ultra foam, ceramic wax and shampoo stuff that I got with the car.

Is that Diamondbrite?

It is, yes. I got a nice bag of goodies and the car has already been treated with it all.

All this talk of cleaning cars is starting to make me feel queasy.
