I'ma go do this this afternoon. On the golf and the van.

What is the results like, first time I'm doing it.

pretty good - it does remove alot of the surface grime - just watch the colour of the water as it drips off the car / van

Yeah, I was just gonna use the little hose on the actual pressure washer, but then I've noticed Halfords sell the snow foarm lance for £16.99 for Kartcher? Might do that.

Gotta get motivation now, second to last day off, I really should sort out his van for him.

How much splatter to you guys get?

Mine seems to either go a good five meters or splatter back and hit me.
Trying to work out if:
1) standing to close
2) standing to far
3) pressure washer too powerful (2800W, 160 Bar)
4) foam to thick
5) not a good lance (can't remember who's atm, was supposed to be a good one)

your pressure washer is a lot more powerful than mine mind you - think mines a 1500W  :undecided:
