http://www.tooled-up.com/Product.asp?PID=192475
its a good price but I'm not sure if it comes complete with the detergent and after wash wax. should be 2 bottles.
i phoned the shop but they couldn't confirm so will see what i get in the box when it arrives.
this is the sealant wax required

Nice one mate, let us know how well it works! :smiley:
Saw a karcher on offer in Tescos today...

Used this today for the first time on my focus daily driver
The golf is clean top to bottom as I lifted it up the other day to wash the underside so haven't treated the it yet. I will do the gti when it's next dirty but it's never used in poor weather.
As for the focus I was amazed how much crap it got off. It seems to work really well looking at he colour of the water anyway! Don't know yet how well the after care wax works. But for cleaning alone it's very good

Don't get me wrong, I am an avid fan of OCD'n and think people should always keep their cars clean BUT...an under chassis cleaner really? 10 miles down the road, down some single lane track or through that massive puddle and it dirty again.
Don't buy it I'm afraid, unless its a show car or something similar. :sad:

It's designed to keep the road salt off and add protection to prevent the body and suspension etc rusting. If I lived in California I wouldn't have one but for the amount of grit we use over here it's a good tool for the winter
-
Seen these advertised was wondering if they were any good. let me know how you get on with it the coming weeks as I may get one if its good
-
I've done Both my cars twice now with it and looking at the ground after doing it there is alot of salt and dirt comes off.
I still need to get under the car with a sponge and bucket to do my full OCD clean but the chassis wash is decent and quick.
-
Something to add to the list of toys I need then.
-
have a lend of it if you like to see if you like it
-
Don't want to get yours dirty :grin:
It does seem very strong power wise from the videos on that website maybe a bit too powerful for what i may need. Saying that i was under the car today spraying it with ~80bar.

I've actually driven mine today
polish, 2 coats of wax and 20 miles later LOADS of tar all over the car. literally dripping off the arches and bumpers so d!ckhead hear is stood with the speed detailer wiping it off in a car park looking the right tool :cry:
anyway if you want a shot of the chassis cleaner its no problem. its a bit of a faff but does seem to work.
i rotated my wheels the other day and the suspension parts were still minging though so cleaned them down the old fashioned way while i had the wheels off.
ill bring it over if you want a lend anyway
