    What washer did you get Lfc?

      I bought this one - http://www.amazon.co.uk/K%C3%A4rcher...rds=karcher+k4 Minus the patio cleaner....



      Initially missed out when it was on sale at a lot of retailers and in the end I bought it from the Karcher Outlet, good price and it's been great no issues at all

        Just used some of this via the bottle attachment with the pressure washer and although no pics as getting a bit dark, from what I can see so far.... Awesome! Very chuffed but will do it again at some point soon in daylight so I can post pics!!

            Before I take the plunge for this I'm using up my Demon Snow Foam first, but can someone tell me what I am doing wrong as the pre wash is drying before the few mins is up and is it actually doing anything. How does one make it cling better as I use the portashower with the nozzle removed.

                Are you applying to a dry or wet car?

                  It's a great product Mark but a high ratio of 1:3 may affect your LSP. No wonder it lifted the dirt right off ;-)

                    O no. What would you recommend for a ratio mate ? My sprayer holds 1.25l so how many ml's of hd would i add ? It was still beading like crazy after so think it had no affect on the sonax bsd

                      Hi Mark

                      With Surfex on paintwork, I would go no less than 1:10 so allowing for room in your sprayer for air pressure to build up, look at 90ml of Surfex and 900 ml of water. This will then give you 990ml ensuring enough said room for air pressure.

                          A dry car. Is that the error of my ways?
