Chassis cleaner

Post by decio » Thu Dec 29, 2011 7:43 pm

Browsing the bmwcar magazine few days before I saw this chassis cleaner from karcher. Went on internet to obtain more info about the product it seams to be a brand new product. I fancy the idea of buying one...think it

What a great product, I have a Bosch pressure washer I wonder if they do something similar?

Please bring it with you next time you drop by. I have a powerful Karcher in the garage and it would be rude not to test it out :)

Not a winner then if it doesn't fit underneath :(
I guess it will be good to leave on the drive ready for Haloween 'trick or treat' or welcoming double glazing salesmen...

It arrived this morning, as it's quite mild outside i gave it a go

On opening the box i did think, bugger its not going to fit under the car - But after putting the pieces together (took 2 mins) it slides under the car with a couple of cm to spare (although it dont it will fit under Z's with eibach's)

As shown in the below pics it rests on a set of castors and even with my uneven surface it glides quite easily back and forth and side to side.

The output pressure is very good, although i guess this depends on the pressure washer you have

Anyway.. I gave it a 5 minute blast and all sorts of debris and sediment came off the bottom on the car - for £78 you cannot go wrong :thumbsup:

Afternoon - yes, but over in Leicester with the Jag fro some trivil warranty work in the late morning.

Amazing really that I'll drive by 2 dealers and 40 minute drive to get to the Leicester one as their service is so good - Speaks volumes about the effects of good/bad service
