Karcher!

[edgeydt50]

Well after searching most of the surrey for the foam bottle, as i wasnt going to pay £45, i finally found one in Hellfrauds in bmouth! and for £14.99 its much better!
so i thought i would give the whole detailing thing a bash at the weekend...and then i saw the weather forecast! ouch!!
Im sure there will be a dry day in future...

Is that the proper karcher one with the tiny yellow bottle?
If so be prepared to fill it a few times while foaming the car as i think they only hold 250ml but could be wrong

 

[edgeydt50]

Yeah its the real deal...and your right its small but its £30 cheaper than buyig the bigger one which is 10l of foam...im a patient kinda guy so should be alright. Just ordered the foam so should all come together...and the car is slightly dirty as the m3 and m27 really do kick up some crap!

I'm afraid that I've heard that these foam lances are kinda rubbish. I think it's you get what you pay for, and the ones for 40 or 50 quid are much better. I'm certainly very happy with my autobrite lance at 48 quid

 

[edgeydt50]

well i only bought it after reading a massive thread on a detailing forum using one of these and the outcome looked exactly the some as the more expensive one. time will tell...

 

[Christophe]

ye i dont regret spending 50 odd quid for the autobrite. Well worth it as it works so well.

Ive used both and to be fair you can get reasonably good result with the Karcher, the trouble is once you use the more expensive ones you do notice a big difference. Not everyone wants to pay a fortune for detailing stuff anyway so you go out and enjoy

We have snow !! predicted this weekend last time i looked

The AB one is smegtastical...who needs to do cars with it though its jokes just spraying trees and innoncent passers by with it...

Have you got any pics of your new weapon mate

Let me rephrase actually (any pics of your new weapon foaming up)

 

[Brand86]

Dirty b*****d!!!

Er no not at the moment mate, its raining outside and I am (meant to be) writing an essay, I will next time I use it though which will be some time next week now.

Need to get more Snow Foam though in the meantime!

Oh how you have changed your tune only seems like a few days ago you where ready to burn it

 

[Brand86]

I was! But that was because it didn't fit, and I still think for what it is its a rip off, materials wouldn't cost any more than £5-10 I imagine, no patented parts as far as I can see and only a bit of assembly I imagine. I didn't dare tell my mum how much it actually cost she would have killed me as I'm skint at the moment, but hoping to do a few cars over Easter to justify it.

So, any SE members who want a detail PM me hehe...

 

[edgeydt50]

Well just to prove that the Karcher lance does work, here we go. Not the best pictures as it was done in a rush before it was about to rain and it was the first time working out measurements...but it did the job...for £15!

 

[jayxx83]

dont look that effective for a power washer mate. think u need some more snow foam in the mix there.

 

[daydotz]

ive got one does a ok job but i do need to play with my foam maybe acutally get a suddy soap
