if you have an aldi nearby keep an eye out, they where knocking them out for Ã,£20 a couple of weeks back.  No good for extended use, but fine for cleaning off cars and pathways.  

Picked up a steal at Woolworths in York, last one on the shelf. 140bar pressure, 5m cable, 3m hose, detergent bottle and inlet adapter for Ã,£30 reduced to half price

Might try it out today if I get the chance.

/me giggles like a giddy schoolgirl

You might want to get a longer hose; youll end up dragging the washer round the car behind you.
I expect Ill only need the one I have in the winter. The bloke oppposite uses his on a perfectly clean car every weekend rain or shine  

Dont do as I did...think to yourself, "thats not very powerful lookin" and feel the exhaust from a few inches from the tip with your finger...OUCH! BRUISING! PAIN!

A lot of those guys have OCD, just comment to him about the unsightly swirl marks from his last wax job, and have an afternoon of giggles watching him try to correct with polishing compound.

 

What really annoys me about him is the several square feet of denim hanging off his arse from his 4-sizes-too-big jeans Not because hes trying to be hip, but because of his gut. :x

lol People have been left hospitalised after being squirted by a garage jet wash. Gouged flesh out of their arms and backs, Kids left in critical care after playing with it and squirting each other.

The jet penetrates skin and entrains air bubbles underneath.  Nasty stuff :?

No, its water.  The jet entrails air bubbles which penetrate the skin too, getting into blood vessles and such.

Well its that good I have newly stripped paint to touch up  

Pressure washer = sweet

T-cut = overrated. Spent far too long using the stuff for what I consider a pretty sheen. The rough patches I touched up look virtually the same :/

^^ you aint done it right then

T cut = spending 10 hours outside in the burning sunshine with 4 friends trying to make one of their new cars (Fiesta thingy) look shiny, but really just getting biceps like arnie, and 3rd degree sunburn! oh... and managing to smear the crap out of the finish

There are far better ways to strengthen your arms.

LOL I did, I followed the instructions to the letter. Its just as rough as before it just blends the colour ever so unnoticably slightly better
