H/D Lance test (Karcher)

[pvr]

Bought this one for my Karcher pressure washer.

I bought the 5 litres of foam, and used about 5 cm of concentrate in the bottle, the rest was hot water.

This was the result at 40 bar :

I turned up the Karcher to 110 Bar now:

Left it on the car for 5 minutes:

And after rinsing off the product, it looked pretty clean considering that I had not touched the car at all so far.

I obviously washed the car then with the 2 bucket methods, but the mitt stayed pretty clean throughout the process.

Very pleased with the result, overall package was 60gbp delivered (5 litre foam + unit)

Looks great!! Whose brand foaming agent did you get/use?

Looks good PVR - amazing how it cleaned all that black off your front reg plate as oyu increased the pressure...
Next you should really get to work on that moss on the block paving :wink:

That was Autobrite Super Foam - ph neutral from here: http://autobritedirect.co.uk/

Would this stuff be bad for our soft tops?

 

[pvr]

I would not spray that on it, even though it is PH neutral etc. The foam is very, very directional and you can easily avoid getting the top all foamed up.

I do not know if it would affect the top though.

pvr - I'll post some pics of my detailing later - it'll be open day on anything you see aside the car....

In terms of jetwashing on the softtop I doubt the solution itself would harm it, so long as you reseal it afterwards. I do however think it would be very unwise to hit a canvas roof with any sort of high presure spray close up. IMHO it can only harm it and its layered/waterproof structure. I'd keep away from the roof and use proper 2 part cleaner and sealer
