I’ve got a bunch of their other tools running the same common batteries. Good stuff and good company. When my air compressor broke down years ago they just sent me a new one no questions asked.

Gotta love having a ceramic coated car
Washed with Autoglym shampoo and towel dried
Taken 45mins tops
Had to use a step stool to reach the middle of the roof though and I'm 5ft 10

I'm 6ft 1in and although I can just reach the middle of the roof I still use a step otherwise the front of my shirt gets wet.

Obviously not when washing the roof, but when drying the roof open the doors you can get quite a bit closer.

No ya wouldn't, open the door you can get a good few inches closer. Not standing on the sill, that's a definite no no
take it from me it works.

Got one of these and use it with a hose pipe not the bucket thingy. Using the bucket draw gives you a mediocre pressure at best but it works far better with a bit extra pressure behind it. Also helps that you don't run out of water halfway through obvsly don't turn the water up too high though.

Sorry I cheated, Just got my S5 ceramic coated by a local chap Swish Detailing. Fantastic job.

Good evening. So today I have been washing the car , and most importantly trying out the stubby short gun which I have to say was a joy to use, so light, balanced and the tip able to be turned from verticals to horizontal as required. Brilliant.

Starting with the wheels, EZ wheel cleaner, first time using, very impressed.

Decent wheel brush, even with the wheel inserts of the LR able to get to the wheel barrels, grime just flowed out.

Stubby so easy to uses with the dual lance and the prewash in the autoglym bottle, totally balanced.

Pre wash done switched to the Ava lance for a quick dose of snow foam.

Easy to move between the stubby lance and the Ava fitting.

That done, chance to try out the new to me ceramic shampoo, and work out just what a 240 to 1 mix is.

All in all, pretty much a perfect afternoon for car washing, cloud had moved in so no direct sunlight, have to say the high concentrate ceramic shampoo is very impressive, also smells good.

Blessed be the coating….

Considering how fast these things are going to get dirty again, are you sure it's really worth it?
