    They are very cheap if you buy a Nilfisk from Argos:

    Nilfisk in the detailing world are seen to be the daddies of the jet washes. This is the one I will be replacing my 6 month old Karcher K2 with in about a months time:

    I'm also thinking of picking up one of these wet/dry vacs too:

    Getting a garage built soon purely to store my arsenal of products and also to detail cars in the warmth and dry during the winter months. Now in the process of making shopping lists for interlocking floor tiles, cabinets, shelves etc etc.

              I quite like the look of these dryers. Especially to get in all the nooks and crannies to avoid drips later on after the usual manual dry.

              The shopping list lengthens now Robbo, thanks for that mate.

              How was your school trip anyway?

                  I love my Karcher, perfect as it runs off a large container of water rather than the mains (renting a flat with no outside tap) !

                            They do look good Chris. Would love to see that building used in the film Entrapment in real life.
