I've just bought one & it seems to make getting the car clean a lot easier. I don't think I had quite enough hose pressure to get the really thick coat of foam that JKP has in his pics. Will be trying to get the k'archer adapter if I can. Shouldn't have any problem with pressure then.

But I also bought some Meguiars NXT carshampoo & that really did help the washmitt glide over the car. Thumbs Up Bodsys Brake Bible

how does it work then,do you just put the car shampoo in the bottle and the pressure frothes it up more so it sits on the paint work for longer?seems better than paying £50 Very Happy Thumbs Up

yes put shampoo or snow foam mixture ( i mix a bit of both) into the yellow bottle.Connect to your pressure washer and squeeze the trigger.It forces water into the mixture giving a loverly coating on your car.As its quite thick it does draw the muck off the car as it runs down.

Much better than the old hand washing . G4 Gone ...but not forgotten

Gentlemen,

May I suggest that these types of threads are posted in the relevant section of the Disco3 forum instead of here....

Oh wait......you can't do that yet......never mind.....carry on Whistle Whistle

Seriously though, is this stuff really much better than washing with a wash-mitt? How does it work? Thumbs Up 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue
