Just placed an order also but my Karcher packed in a while back. Anyone know wheres best to get a wee K2 that will deliver?

Cars have been neglected recently and now that I can't drive them, I might as well wash them.

No joy with B&Q, Homebase or Argos. Halfords have them but not for delivery. Ebay and Amazon not proving that fruitful either...

Just looking K2 or similar. There is better availability of the bigger ones but no real need for a bigger one

Try Consumable Products. I know Nigel @nigelmcg is a member on here also so maybe drop him a PM?

Really well
Euro car parts are doing same day delivery, not sure if they'll deliver a power washer but might be worth a look.

Just a wee plug for Solapower! This was spray on, work through with a brush to loosen up the stubborn mud and grime, and then hoover off with a normal vacuum (carpet/mats) or wipe off (other surfaces). Would be even better with a carpet attachment on the hoover but I don't have one of them.

Great for carpets, mats, general interior muck bashing, getting at the inside of the doors and door frames, and so on. Didn't get a before of the boot but it was nearly as bad as that footwell! 🤢🤢🤢

No, dilute as per the label. The bottle has a wee handy measuring thing at the top too, basically squeeze the bottle and the measure thing gradually fills up. It is graded in ml so easy to measure up the small amounts needed.

You don't need a lot!

Use it for cleaning floors in the house. A little goes a long way and the wee bottle is class for measuring it out

@Big Pimp Ross, anything to clean the grey tartan seats in my Golf GTD? Driver's side is grubby looking

Short of using a carpet cleaner, SolaPower sprayed on, agitated with a stiff brush and then vacuumed.

As the Pimp says:

It contains (amongst other things) optical brighteners and enhancers which clean and lift the colour effectively on dirtied carpets

For the seats maybe use a sponge or a softer upholstery brush, but other than that Solapower plus hoover should do the trick.

As always, test in an inconspicuous spot first just in case.

Edit: As it happens Ross has a decent upholstery brush on the website, just a bit hidden away 😉
