Remember a few weeks back I was looking for advise well I bought the Karcher V5.5 I have some pics top upload and will do later today. It cool. And far more powerful than I thought it would be. I think it's around 2000W with a variable power gun! Daz

Sorry Guys -Am I missing the point here - why spend days polishing a
car for the next week to wash it using a powerhose, and wash off all
the hard work Regards Rob ------------- Robert Born |

Why would it wash it off? Most waxes/sealants are pretty resilient, so a bit of pressurised water isn't going to harm them! Believe me i would have no customers if that was the case! |

They are safe as long as you aint trying to scrape the dirt off with high pressure ------------- Previous: E36 318is coupe, E36 323i coupe, E30 316 saloon, E30 318 saloon, E46 330ci Sport Conv E92 325d M Sport(3.0),With Loads of gadgets Current: 116i Sport F20 |

I cannot agree that it would not wash off.e I have prepared my cars using Zymol and Swissoil /Swissvax products . I have warmed up the polish in my hands but it does wash off and if the car is left out in all weathers , far too quickly. In my opinion using a power hose and increased pressure just washes it off quicker Regards Rob ------------- Robert Born |

Well I'm happy I blast off the brake dust in a heartbeat every other day instead of scrubbing for hours each weekend like I used to. And the car is garaged each night so she's taken care of and also recieves regular waxings. Even if I don't have time I'll use the Meguiars quick wax stuff, looks the biz!
