Car cleaning and valeting discussion
I’d be keen to hear your thoughts on them, pressure and battery life etc. I looked at these a while back to use for smaller, quicker tasks (maintenance washes on not so dirty cars or just doing the wheels) where the pressure of the Karcher wasn’t necessary.FirstFord1972 wrote: ↑Wed Apr 07, 2021 8:10 pm I don't have an outside tap that works, so I use a cordless Worx Hydroshot. Ideal for wetting and rinsing the car and applying foam etc. as it is low(ish) power. A couple of 10 litre buckets is more than enough for a good wash.
Karcher’s can be used on water butts, ponds, buckets etc with an accessory hose and filter but I’ve not tried it.

Another one here who cleans with a karcher k5, I use mine no probs on the car, mine has the adjustable wand that lights up as you adjust the pressure for different cleaning jobs, no2 is ok for the car, I also have a k4 as back up but haven’t used for about a year now, I have the hose that connects to the water butt but I’ve found it takes a while for the water to get to the m/c, not sure if it’s doing it any good as they’re water cooled ( afaik) , I’ve tried priming it but my delicate little fingers get cold in the winter,

Yes, another member of the K5 club here. I suppose when they get to K9 it will have to look like a dog. Maybe it will lick the car clean.

I was looking at it. Trying to do some research into whether there are any issues/restriction with application as a top up over a paste wax application (I’m using a ceramic infused wax at the minute).
Autoglym seem to be playing catch up in the ceramic market but it could be they’ve been working away to get the formula right to avoid issues that others have. That said, they don’t do a bad product, all of which are compatible with each other so I think it would be a safe bet.
