Power Washers

[Eddie25]

Any advice much appreciated ladies and gents.

I am off out with the intention of buying a power washer for the E30 today but it seems a mine field of options. The only criteria I have laid down so far is it must cost around £250 max and must have a soap dispenser for snow foam etc. Just wondered if you could recomend anything:

1) What pressure range do i need to consider? I want enough pressure to get wheel arches etc clean but don't want to blast the paint off.

2) If it does have a soap dispensor can you add normal autowash? Zymol is a favourite but i dont know if the concentration would be too high? I've heard good things about snow foam however.

3) Having used Karchers at work for years i know they are extremly good but would another/cheaper brand be suitable for my uses?

Regards

Eddie

Best on the market, great with Megs hyperwash mixed 1:10, or your fav product. I also use it with Megs All purpose cleaner strong mix for arches and lower parts of the car.

Hope that helps.

I use a Nilfisk power washer from Screwfix the c120 less than £100 and i find it fantastic.
