Has anyone used one of these? Just seen them on Amazon when looking for a replacement hose. My drive is on a slope so it's not easy to jack my cars up to wash underneath.

I bought one towards the end of last winter. I’ve only used it 3 or 4 times so far but I’d say it’s a decent piece of kit. Takes about a minute to assemble and connect up to the power washer. It has enough reach to be able to clean the far side of the car without repositioning – handy if you have a narrow drive or are feeling a bit lazy. It certainly makes a damp, unpleasant job much quicker and easier.

It comes with samples of Karcher's detergent/waxes but they are a bit pricey so I may experiment with Autosmart G101 or something similar – on the wife’s car of course wink

I did have some concerns about it forcing water past seals etc but the jets aren’t as powerful as the patio cleaner attachments or a regular Karcher lance. It should be low enough fit under most cars – it certainly managed to get underneath a GT86 and a MR2 roadster without problems.

I didn't run to that, I bought the metal underbody lance attachment which I found very effective, and could be used on other things, too.
