Hello Zedders

Come home from work today and I could hear a noise? And I could see this random yellow thing sticking out the carport, then @Mnbrennan appears from the carport with a big Grin :D
He now has an outside tap fitted and can use this.........

I recognise that gismo!

Just started on the garden path, sadly ripping half the paint off my diesel clio has limited allure compared to my old coupe!
 
Nice one. A Karcher is a man's best friend !:thumbsup: I need to get a snow foam gun.:)

I love a power washer but i would have driven the car outside.
 
Sorry to put a downer on the new Karcher.......but I personally will never take one near the paint work :eek:

If you can write yer name on the patio (always have to play before completing the job) :) just think what its doing to the paint surface.

I know the pressure can be turned down; but I've seen to many horror stories using a Karcher :(
 
Don't blame the tool for operator error.;) The jet you use for cleaning masonry isn't the best one for car bodywork, and don't get too close.

LOL. I agree 100%............Don't take a candle too close when looking for a gas leak :)..........
 
Best outside tap I have ever used on the car was the fire hose at work
But, the other best one was at a local bar...
They have what they call a "feast week" over here, old Catholic thing, and the local council charge mega bucks if they want to have a bar outside on the street, so this bar owner plumbed in a beer tap through the wall to the outside..... genius..:)
 
I've never had a problem with power washers. I was hoping to have a snow foam gun today but had it delivered to the wrong address :(
 
Another New drive in car wash centre in Aylesbury, I'll drop "Bella" off tomorrow night for a good clean inside and out ready for Saturday.....

No worries pal. I don't do half a job :dead:
 
Outside taps are worth their weight in gold :p
We couldn't do without one ;)

Best thing I bought for mine. That and the patio cleaner. Oh, and the long extension. And the variable angle spray. :whistle:

Use it but never on anything but low power on the car paint etc.
The snow foam attachment is way better than the one that fits on the hose.
