Quick question.

How high pressure do these go, I watched a quick video looked a high flow rate but at less pressure. Which is fine for the car but I would be using it for the patio etc is it able to keep up. It would be used with a k4

Cheers buddy

Purge was definitely needed!

Finished off with Hybrid & clearview certainly brings the shine back. Also that grape air freshener 👌🏻👌🏻

Okay I don’t like that website, it’s too dangerous, dont even have to add an item to cart, just click on Apple Pay and no details or anything needs put in, too easy 😂

What would you recommend for a cleanser decontaminate type wash?

Looking to strip the waxes/sealants etc off the car to properly clean, de-tar, clay etc so I can get a go at polishing it properly.

I have Articulate, gleam, tar remover, purge for iron removing...is that enough?

Apart from tarminator (solvent) the rest is pretty safe for waxes and such. So wouldn't be much good if you actually wanted to remove them.

Try Lazer, that will clean off most stuff. I mix that in with Articulate in winter.

Not sure about Tarminator but none of the rest will affect actual coatings, like ceramic coatings, so just work away. Including Lazer.

Any joy on the Clearview yet? I haven’t been able to see out through my shower glass in about 3 months.

The short triggers are great. Obviously more compact than the standard lance and I went full quick release on mine so quick release hose connection and quick release spray pattern nozzles/foam lance connection. Definitely a worthwhile upgrade over standard lance.

It is back in stock; Clearview - revolutionary alcohol based glass cleaner

Are these an upgrade from the standard ones?
No, just short, there’s a wee bag of nozzles in my hand there so with them on what you see in my hand is the full size, instead of having a metre long lance.

Interested in knowing the advantage of these trigger handles as well. No doubt it’s the next thing I need!

No other benefit other than I think it’d be handier the wielding a metre long lance around the car. Can be one handed inside of 2 as well.
Mine arrived too. Can’t test it though as my pressure washer has just gone back to Karcher
Surprised how quick it came

I bought this set off eBay about a month ago - Pressure Washer Quick Release Gun & Lance Wash Nozzles To Fit Karcher K2 To K4 | eBay. The gun from in2detailing does seem to be better quality but i havent had any issues as of yet.

I've found that i've got more control with the stubby gun and can aim the water into all the nooks and crannies the standard lance would have never reached because of the awkward angles ...especially up around the arches and flushing out panel gaps. Also handy for quickly rinsing out wheel woolies and mitts on the move as you dont have to battle with the long lance.
