Best pressure washer for car?

anon_ymous

My understanding is that you still need a hosepipe right? Well, we do have one of those, and currently we're using car shampoo, warm water, and sponges

Ideally, I'd like to use something fairly light, just for the car. I understand that you can get those ones that do your garden, windows etc.. and whilst they're nice, week in, week out, it's needed for the car, so it'd be nice if it was pretty...light, as it would make washing the car a lot easier than it is now

We do only have a little terraced house.

Does any one have any recommendations on what to buy, and also what accessories/shampoos to buy too?

I have s Nilfisk which does a good job. Get a decent snow foam bottle to use with it.

So this should be fine?

Or this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nilfisk-C110-7-5-Pressure-Washer/dp/B01MTZWJWA/ref=dp_ob_title_hi?th=1

WHich appears to be the same thing?

It comes with a "lance" Or would I need to buy this?

I'm guessing I can use this for snow foam? I'd rather use something as cheap as possible but GOOD too

Right now, we stick to T-Cut as the supermarket ones seem so..watery

Agree nilfisk screwfix sell them but buy the best one you can for your budget and a snow foam lance see detailing world for recommendations

C110 or C120 would be fine for your needs.

Snowfoam - proper HD lance is required, like the Amazon one linked. Some websites give you a litre of snowfoam to go with it.

Yeah, I've seen that you get about 1 litre, but it seems like HSDOnline sell pro-kleen foam SUPER cheap when you buy 20l of it!

According to Detailing world

I should go for this:

So...

I take it, I should buy the following:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Nilfisk-C110-7-5-Pressure-Washer/dp/B01MTZWJWA/ref=dp_ob_title_hi?th=1

One of these:

I'll ask which one "smells" best from them. I've a feeling it'll be strawberry milkshake

I think the Nilfisk I have is the C110.

I got my snow foam lance and liquid (and other car washing kit) from:

Thanks. I'll look to buy the lance from there but I think I'll buy the snow foam elsewhere purely because you get a massive discount when you buy 20l of it
