Hi guys got one of these thought o would use it to get off some tough grime. It has a lil plastic tube hanging out the front which I think is for shampoo. Is this right if so how do I use it

You'd be better off getting a lance.

yes mate, the plastic tube normally dangles into a diluted shampoo mixture (snow foam)

there is normally a control on the machine for turning on the shampoo mix and a way of varying the amount it throws out.

as said though, foam lances are much better as you can control them more and you get a much thicker foam over the car.

You could go for the Karcher equivalent, 16 bucks from Halfords
