Hi

All cheapo HPC are crap basically, but induction motor for £40? If
they are daft enough to give a three year warranty on it, tear their
arm off!

That's £13:50 a year!

Forget car washing BTW. Unless you can access the correct chemical a
pressure washer won't clean car bodywork unless you agitate with a
sponge - it which case the HPC is just a rinse.


I know. Even with chemicals down at a petrol station, you don't get it
clean without a brush. The simple fact is that my mains pressure isn't
really up to much in terms of powering one of those normal hosepipe carwash
brush gizmo's and having something that can power a brush adequately (if
it's not pushing lots of water through, the dirt is staying put and
therefore scouring the paintwork).

Normally I soak the car, wash it down with a hot sponge & shampoo, then soak
it again and dry it (wax it if feeling highly energetic!). It's a real
chore though ... powered brushes are so much easier to use .. though I'm not
sure how well it will work in comparison with cold water.
