My ZX seems to love getting dirty quickly, well it is winter. I want to get a powerwasher with enough poke to clean and remove a bit of crap from around the wheels. Are the Halfords ones any good or where else could i get one.

My old man's got a karcher (which they sell in halfraud's) - good for wheels/ arches, and good for stripping any loose trim (like the coating on the windsreen strips :headvswal :headvswal ) or lifting any less-than-perfect paint!!

 

I'd say buy a cheapo one to do your wheels and arches, and other tough/ out of areas and stick to a sponge and bucket for the rest... or be VERY careful and don't get too close!

I used to sell Karcher pressure washers they are very good.

Totally agree with Rich666 there.

 

I've got a Karcher, but the only way to properly clean the bodywork is with a sponge and the old elbow-grease I'm afraid.

I wish I had a jet wash. Don't have an outside/screw on tap though. Real shame as I do want one. :(

Don't you have a kitchen/toilet on the ground floor with a water supply that you could 'tap' in to and through the wall?

Aye, but it's not my house to do that with.

Ok not exactly a powerwasher but that new Flash thingy is meant to be good, you use it on a hose but it comes with magic chemicals don't leave water marks on the car.

 

Gives a rain water affect.

 

Never tried it mind but meant to be really good, check prices on refils though as i bet they arn't cheap

Aye, but it's not my house to do that with.

Just tell them it would "add value" to the property LOL.
