you pay for what you get when it comes to jet washes i had a cheap £60 rac one then had a karcher given me for a present and the difference is amazing

Nilfisk is a good brand mate - the one in the link is the one I have (I think - there's so many variations) and it's a good little machine. IMO Karcher is a tad overpriced and you pay for the badge alot of the time. I've never heard anyone praise the RAC PW's but have with Nilfisk's - that's why I bought one. If I was a professional detailer needing a PW all the time (day in day out) I'd upgrade it and get an industrial one, but I've had no problems with mine :)

Works a treat with a snow foam lance as well - this is my Mum's new car after a coating of Ultimate Finish foam after dwelling for ~5 minutes:

You just need the correct attachment and you're away :)

Autobrite magifoam is very good. Few brushes to agitate nooks and crannys and your away :)

No worries man! :)

At the moment I'm using this (http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/ultimate-snow-foam/nilfisk-ultimate-snow-foam-and-lance-kit.aspx) - it was part of my 21st birthday present (albeit belated) so my Dad just announced that he'd ordered it up tbh haha.

It recommends 1:3 of solution:water IIRC but sometimes it gets slighty more or less than that if I slightly overfill the container past the markers on the side of the bottle (if that makes sense?) but I've had it really foamy and thick before - the beauty of it is that you can play about it until you've reached how foamy/thick you want it.

At this time of year when the car is always caked in crud, I always pre-soak the car in a Traffic Film Remover (TFR) like Auto Finesse Citrus Power (http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=949) (it's good but feckin' expensive for how much I use) and jetwash that off before snow foam so the car is alot cleaner before snow foaming it. After that, you're touching with a mitt what is essentially a clean car so reducing the risk of swirls and minor scratches :y:

Autobrite magifoam is very good. Few brushes to agitate nooks and crannys and your away :)

Have heard good things about AB Magnifoam though tbh - once the UF stuff has been used up I'll probably switch to this :)

David from Berkshire gave it 4 stars but wouldn't recommend it to a friend :omg:

niifsk are regarded as fantastic pressure washers. I've had the one you bought for 3 years now they come with a 5y warranty too.

I've had a karcher and found my niifsk which was also cheaper, far better so not always the case
