Maxyboy Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Ok, since the purchase of the new car i fancy treating myself to some new cleaning kit. What i'd like is a reasonable/cheapish power washer with a 10-15m length of hose so i can mount it in the garage permanently and just run the hose around the car. There are that many on the market i really dont know where to start. It will only be used for the car and nothing else. I also fancy one of these gilmour type things, they seem to be pretty good. So it would have to fit the power washer too. If anyone can recommend models/where from or even a package, that would be great. Or the second option, just get a foammaster2 for the hose and save on the power washer. What do you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MajorH Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 The gilmour is crap IMHO unless you have 130 psi water pressure. The foam doesn't cling and is less thick in consistency, thats what I've found anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bpsmith Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Get yourself a pressure washer and an AutoBrite HD lance and you wont be sorry fella!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 If they still have any in stock I picked up a Lavor from Lidl last week, with loads of tools and good spec for £110. Well worth that sort of money and has a 10mtr hose, 530ltr/hr flowrate, 135bar pressure. Far better than the Karcher I had with similar specs.

wyliss Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Totally agree with BP, get yourself a karcher, robertdyas on the net have some good ones on offer and you could try auto rae chem for a HD lance, an excellent piece of kit. Buy them, you wont be sorry ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bpsmith Posted March 30, 2008 Report Share Posted March 30, 2008 Are they the same connection as a Karcher or got their own fittings? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rustynuts Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Thay have their own fittings. And to be honest they're a much better (more substantial) fitting connection aswell. I just stopped off at my supplier and picked up a foam lance so I'll be having a go with that some time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Longdog Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 Hi, I've got a Lavor tiger with the steam cleaner on it and for me it's a much better piece of kit than the equivalent Karcher, the hose is about 10 metres so you don't need to drag the machine around the car whilst cleaning. cleaning wise it's excellent and even manages to get rid of two weeks worth of dirt that is waiting for me courtesy of the wife when I get home from offshore !!

Scotty Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 I know nothing about it but I doubt you'll get one much cheaper than this : http://www.woolworths.co.uk/web/jsp/product/index.jsp?pid=50975941 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maxyboy Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2008 will the foam lances fit onto that though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best chek the thing first and see what spec it's got. The advert is somewhat anonymous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
