Reading car forums, the overwhelming opinion is that a pressure washer
is needed to wash one's car properly. So I went and bought a cheap
Halfords one, complete with snow foam attachment. The results were
disappointing to say the least.

Wonder if you made the mistake most new pressure washer owners do, and
assume you can clean a right ****ted up car back to showroom shine with just
a jet of water, and maybe a little detergent sprayed on,

You still need a brush/sponge to clean the dirt off the paintwork, and the
pressure washer to get under the wheel arches, ally wheels and so on,

That's the reason car washes use rotating brushes instead of just jets of
water... mind, round here most car washes have replaced the
electric/hydraulic driven rotating brushes with illegal immigrants holding
sponges and shammy leathers for some reason.
