It was a purchase I thought long and hard about. I wash my car most weeks though and get a lot of enjoyment out of it. It's also a machine that will last a lifetime so when you factor all that in its pretty good value IMO.
My Kranzle arrived last week. I was expecting it to be good and a step up from my Nilfisks of old but this thing is in a league of its own. The MTM PF22 cannon is also very good.
It’s like using a petrol station power washer in the luxury of your own home lol. @ 25KG it’s a solid bit of kit...
I would expect so as otherwise there would be a limited target audience. Ceramic coatings are generally very hard wearing and you’d struggle to remove them without an abrasive.
I like GTechniq C2v3. Can be used as a watered down detailing spray also. It’s a spray on, polish off product though. Offers up to 6 months of protection.
Mine arrived after a couple of days. The deal was posted on Detailing World so I presume they go overrun with orders.
TBH I’m surprised they didn’t refund the lot as apparently £20 is cheaper than cost.
Horses for courses.
I get what you’re saying but use one and you might change your mind.
Why do we spend a bucket load on shampoos, ceramics and waxes when your bog standard turtle wax equivalent will make do?
I don’t really buy into the frequency or pro detailer argument. You’re top line...
Seen them for £45 (q washers) for 10m. I'd expect 15m to come in at £55.
Either way though the cheaper Karchers and Nilfisks are still pretty crap. Mines nearly 5 years old but rarely used. I'd not buy another.
I have a Nilfisk and although it serves a purpose, it’s pretty s**t. The main issue is the hose, it’s plastic and always curls.
Budget for a new hose (about £60). Connections are also cheap plastic.
When I bought my lance I specified what connector to supply.
Like it?
I looked at that but I’m thinking I might go for one with a hose reel...

If you want something that’ll last a lifetime buy a Kranzle. Nildisk and Karcher are ok but they tend not to last more than a few years under heavy usage. The stock hoses are also s**t.
Some manufactures do a matt range.
Check out chemical guys offering.

30ml of C4 for £19.
Get it before someone spots the mistake lol.

Has anyone got any experience using ceramic (long life) coatings?
My S2000 was coated a few years back. The coating is still going strong but I’m having the front bumper repainted because I hit a stone on the way back from it’s MOT (doh).
I’ll need to lightly correct the new paint then ceramic...
Sorry, not a fan of that but each to their own. Too much “Tokyo Drift” for my liking.
I still have mine. Most will know I have one, I’ve talked about it enough over the years [emoji23]
Defo, I’m a perfectionist and wouldn’t use anyone else.
There’s also Gary based in Stockport who is as good. The two of them have worked together and are pretty much the best out there. As I’m no longer living in Manchester I tend to use Ben.
