Found this for a grand total of £7.51 including delivery. Reviews seem good too.

That seems good two 1.1/1.2mm nozzles for different power outputs on pressure washers - mjjc&my polar don't have that - 1.2mm;
I'm wondering if those bottles (not hdpe?) would be compatible with polar I have - would still like a 2nd bottle one for pre, one for shampoo.
weekend made some karcher experiments - current 15mm/30m hoze drops house flow for 10L water from 24s(short/3m hoze i created)->44s,
washer/k7 was working fine with either turbo or blade attachments, but pulsing with foam bottle

just use the same you use on the bodywork
wheels are still painted, they are exactly the same
Collinite 476 is what I use. I've heard some of the wheel sealant is longer lasting.

They also say its better heat resistant, but it will take well over 1000 degrees, by which time you wont have any tyres left
I have a tired old Nilfisk washer from 2012 from looking at my amazon history!
I'm looking at replacements and before I push the button on an AVA P45/P55 does anyone have any other recommendations? I will only use it for the car and like the 40ft soft hose on the AVA's as well as the specs.

The AVA stuff is nice and don’t think I’d look at anything else now
Got an Evo P60.
I've wasted much of the day so far looking at reviews and youtube tests etc. I was initially looking at the P45/55 GO but I want 10-12m of hose and the Easy P50 looks more right for me..The AVA stuff is nice and don’t think I’d look at anything else now

AVA Easy
AVA Easy may be smaller than many of the other AVA models, but it still has good stability, power and plenty of pressure due to its unique design and metal pump. It has a hose reel and a dedicated space for the power cable. The handle can be easily folded down, making it easy to take the washer...

12m hose. I then thought about after market foam canon and gun but most of the reviews seem to say the AVA foam canon is pretty good, did you find it fine? I then wouldn't need any additional extras. Looked at the Karcher K4 but that needs a ton of extras to do what I want.

is chassis wash/wheel arches a need - Later added a long right angled lance with Karcher
(... however the arches on Audi I now have, are some inferior fibrous material difficult to clean, but noise reducing whilst they survive
could poke it through barrels of wheels hmmh haven't tried that yet , but maybe too much water near callipers/sensors. )

No it’s pants IMO. I’ve used cheaper ones which have been better
Thankfully it uses the Karcher attachment so you can get a lot of cheap lances which are decent.
Thanks, is yours one of the older or newer type ones? The new ones have metal fins and it seemed to get good reviews compared to the original all plastic one.

Mine has metal fins as well
Just find it drinks the liquid and the suction hose is terrible.this is my foam cannon there are many like it but this one is mine ... Without my pressure washer, cannon is useless. Without my cannon, the car is dirty
Tear-down last night, couldn't find any blockage causing pulsing ... hadn't realised there would be a metal gauze tablet inside , that can get gunked
there was hellish loctite on the threads.

Thank you very much. We are very proud of it.
Is ordering from Ali express ok?
Iv got a nilfisk.( Can't remember the model. It's a good few years old) .
I have a snowfoam attachment lance attachment that I think either came with it or i got from somewhere.
I watched a YouTube video saying that out of all the cannons, they didn't like a lot of them, moved them to one side , they had 3 really good ones. I think autoglym was a reccomended one. Not sure if it would work on my nilfisk I'd have to check
If there is a decent cannon out there for £10-20 of rather pay that then £40-50?

You just need the adapter for it to fit a Nilfisk. I paid a few quid on Amazon. The Nilfisk snow foam attachment is absolutely pants.
