Hi Martin just a quick thank you I've been in touch with Keith at gleem detailing and managed to sort out an MTM SGS35 stubby gun
and an MTM EXTENSION LANCE very pleased with my new toys and Keith was very helpful had my KRANZLE 1152 TST nearly 2 years now and bought 2 cheap stubby guns and lances in that time buy cheap by twice lol them MTM are expensive but you get what you pay for so thanks again for putting me in touch with Keith at gleem detailing 👍👍😁😁
No problem Michael, glad you are sorted👍
I have the exact same problem with my k4, such a pain in the backside. Mines about a year old and the hose just kinks up when I wrap it round the karcher. I know their only budget machines but they shouldn’t be putting these crappy hoses on them. I’ll be giving them a ring. Thanks Harry
Had one of Keith’s 15m hoses for a few months hard trade use now, it’s been abused, kinked, driven over... never missed a beat. Great guy to deal with too.
Spot on, Its good quality kit and totally agree, what a nice guy & so helpful. Thanks for the comment👍
Sounds like I've stumbled upon a detailing diamond! Will be buying some proper kit at last 👍👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer is there anything better on market now
@@Viewer765 Give Keith a call and explain to him what kit you have and is there anything better and he will talk you through it. I have always found Keith to be very helpful and will give you sound advice . hope that's of some help Keith@gleemdetailing.co.uk 07803 908802
Looks a great upgrade on what you had Martin. It certainly can transform the user experience and no doubt you will get slightly more flow with that setup just due to higher grade materials. Ultimately the look on your face and how enthusiastic you are about it makes it all worth while. I remember couple of years ago now when I spent £1000 in new Kranzle and all the trimmings, the difference is made to washing experience was immense.
I'm actually blue with envy Martin, I thought I'd colour code my envy with that awesome hose you have! I only have a cheap Lidl pressure washer (in fairness it's been brilliant for the money) so I'm looking to do a big upgrade in one go, not sure what I'll go for yet, maybe a K7 but whatever I get I am definitely getting a better hose, gun, quick release, nozzles the lot! Like you my hose is a right PITA, it regularly tries to scratch the car as well as performing mind boggling tangle tricks seemingly while my back is turned! Thanks for another REALLY informative and interesting video, great stuff 👍
I think the karcher hoses have a life all of their own. Talk to Keith at Gleem when you want to get your gear he is so helpful. Im going to go for a Kranzle K10 but I see a lot of the guys go for the karcher K4. I know Mark at sparkle autos has a k4 and likes it. Glad the video was of some use. Let me know what you get and your thoughts on it👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I will look at the Kranzle also in that case. I don't know much about pressure washers other than Karchers because they are just about everywhere, although I'm sure there may be better ones around. I will let you know what happens mate 👍
@@steverabbits I think the archer comes with a lifetime guarantee so worth considering. The kranzle is top quality but also top price. Karcher seems to be most favourite but ask around and go with what fits you.
Great set up Martin, I will be giving them a call, many thanks Steve
Hi Steve, I have to say I am delighted with it all. No issues just good quality kit. If you like what I have then tell Keith and he will sort it or if you want something different then just tell him what you want and how you want to use it and he will sort you out. I found him very helpful and a really nice guy. Plus I like to support small businesses. Please let me know how you get on and what you decided to get
Great setup that buddy, i have a very similar setup , but everything you have looks great quality, and i will give them a consideration, next time i look to change.
Think you explained and solved a massive problem that so many of have. My hose loops round and you have to forever pull it straight and unloop it to get it straight once again. Then you can't hang it on the wall is as it wants to unravel. Along with having to unscrew either end of the hose to store it neatly in the garage. Great solution you've got. Thanks for sharing your ideas.
Sixty Seconds of Stephens I’m glad it is of help. This set up has made cleaning the car so much more enjoyable 👍
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer when I first started cleaning my car my old, old pressure washers had 3 meter hoses. Which was so inconvenient.
@@sixtysecondsofstephens2386 You & me both, I then put a 10 m Karcher hose on and that just wanted to fight with me so this solution came about & really happy with it. Next after the lockdown I will look to upgrade my washer to a Kranzle K10. That is also available from Gleem Detailing and free shipping so will probably go there.
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer they are the king of pressure washers.
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer they are the king of pressure washers.
Exact same issue had my k4 for some tine now,not only is the supplied hose terrible it wont even reach around a small hatchback with the machine stood next to it.Purchased the longer ext hose which although much longer it is still a faff to connect up and despite what karcher say it definitely reduces gun pressure,thought it was the machine at first but tried the short one and there is a difference.That longer hose also tends to curl too.Think Karcher are living off their brand name now would not buy anything else from them Will be checking out the supplier you used i think.
You will find Kieth at Gleem Detailing extremely helpful and will provide quality equipment. The hose he supplied in this video is still in first class condition after 5 years of use
Shame no links mate looks cool setup 👍🏻
@@GarageTherapyOfficial thanks, not into all that link stuff. Takes all my thinking power to clean a car🤪
I'd love something like this for my little nilfisk
Have a similar set up on mine & always empty the gun after use and hang it up to avoid any damage but being a driveway cleaner it doesn't get everyday use. I noticed a creak from the trigger recently and then noticed the plastic shroud on the quick release coupling had started to crack. Thinking that the coupling was gonna fail, i removed it and found the end of the gun was very rusty indeed and the plastic shroud is only actually a cover and underneath it is just like a standard knurled brass coupling. I sprayed WD40 down the gun & quite a bit of rusty debris came out . The creak is now fully gone & then a couple of sprays of Atom Mac should preserve it a little . Might be worth a try to prevent any problems in the future👍🏻
where did you get the gun from Alan
Saw this great video on GM Details about Kärcher upgrades. He showed this stunning home from direct hoses, also a company in Brittain. The hose is flexible rubber and stays flat all the time. Looked great! Together with that small handgun and angled extension part it's 3 items on my list.
Here's a link to that video,hope it stays visible RUclips tends to delete links these days

Thanks robot, I subscribe to Graeme on GMD👍
Thanks Rombout, I bought my washer gun & hose from Gleam Detailing a couple of years ago & love the quality. Thanks for watching and commenting👍
Enjoyed viewing and your enthusiasm Martin. To confirm I am green with envy.. Great set up.
Hi Paul, hope the video was of some use👍
Like you I struggle with my Karcher hose and I've got MS - once again you have cost me money but no worries I could watch/listen and believe you all day - in fact my wife thinks I do
It’s so nice to get a comment that shows the video was of help. Always glad to entertain. Thank you Robert, hope the hose meets your expectations 👍
Can 2nd this video amazing quality and Keith is a great person to deal with.
Ryan Williams quality kit from a quality company
Great , thanks a million .. just what I need.
hope it was of some help
Spoke to Keith at Glem yesterday new hose ordered, on the strength of your recommendation. I also don't know why Karcher has such bad hoses, I have a new one and it's no better!
It is a real upgrade and if you have ordered one of his guns as well then it will make your experience so much better. Thanks for the comment👍
Hi Patrick, did you get a new hose & gun?
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Yes Keith was very good.
Good video Mart and I echo all the issues you have with The Karcher Range. I would like the handle system ☺️😎
Hi glad you enjoyed it. Give Gleem Detailing a look and if you contact them you will get lots of help. I have used it a few times now and it has really made the job easier and so much more enjoyable. www.gleem-detailing.com/shop.html#!/gleem-powerwash/c/33669109/offset=0&sort=normal
This guy is so funny 😂 “my wife will find me hung up on the wall”
Direct Hoses - Barnsley- highly recommend
Thanks Richard👍
Hi there. Just wondered what pressure washer you’re using these days? I’m looking at a bog standard Karcher k2 and then upgrade the hose and gun. Think I saw in very recent videos you’re still using these add on’s, so I presume they’re great quality. All the best.
@@michaelrimell6217 hello Michael, yep still using the same kit and it looks and performs as good as the day I bought them. My old K2 died on me after years of loyal service so I bought a refurbished K4 from Karcher that does the job. But your K2 will be ok. Hope that’s of help
Now all you need is a wall mounted auto retract hose reel fitted with a uberflex hose.
Yep that would be ideal. Need to give that some thought 👍
Interesting vid Martin but it would have helped if you could of costed all the enhancements
yep, I thought about it but based on what yo already have and what your needs are its best if you talk to Keith direct as he will talk you through all. the options
This looks to be a great setup and you seem very happy with the products. Would you mind telling me which gun you went for please?
Hello Daniel, the gun I bought was the Sutter 1100 with quick release & swivel. Its £35.00 on Gleem Detailing site. Whatever gun you get, my advice is defiantly get a swivel fitted. It makes life so much easier.
hi,great video have the exact same problem what was the name of the company you contacted for hose and shortened lance,i looked up gleem detailing but they seem to be a home detailing service only,thanks.
Call Keith who owns the company. He is a great guy and very helpful. tell him you want similar kit to mine
hi mate been speaking To gieam detailing with keith about your connection on your k2 karcher mine has got the plastic c.clip that you push up can you tell me eas yours the same thanks
Hello Matt, my k4/hose connection is a push fit mate. Whatever connection you have then Keith will sort it, he has never let me down, great guy 👍
excellent info will do the same to mine all the best to you!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad the video is of some help Stephen, let me know how you get on
Hi Martin, can i ask a really cheeky question and ask how much it all set you back .....
If I could remember Peter I would tell you but it was 4 years ago and Im an old git so can't remember. What I will say it I have used it all on a regular basis as you can see in my videos and its all as good as the day I bought it. I suggest you give Keith a call and he will sort you out, he's a very helpful guy. Keith@gleemdetailing.co.uk Tel 07803 908802
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer .. hi Martin, I only realised the video was a few years old after I posted it ..... I found a price online and whilst not horrendously expensive I don't know how I'd sneak it past she who must be obeyed ...
@@petersmith7126 Have it delivered next door then pop round to pick it up when she's out 🤣🤣
Hi Martin, what do you do if you want to reconnect the old Karcher lance to the pressure washer, e.g. when you need the full power of the Karcher lance say to clean your drive or patio, or similar tough cleaning job?
I just disconnect the hose from the washer and reconnect the original hose when I wash the patio
I’ve got a K2 & have all the same issues as your with the set up. I’m forever getting tangled up in mine or it falls over on the drive. Was it an expensive upgrade if you don’t mind me asking ?
Hi Dazza & welcome's to my channel. If I remember rightly the cost of the quick release gun, wand, hose & fittings was around £140.00 if I remember rightly. Suggest you contact Gleam Detailing (have a look at their website and all contacts are on there) and they will give you a proper quote. You will find them very helpful. Let me know how you get on.
Obsessive Car Detailer ok will do. Thanks for getting back to me.
Great set up that m8 defo something I will do. But think I’ll have to start charging the wife & kids for cleaning there cars lol 👍
not cheap but well worth it in my opinion, really good quality 👍
LOL - I've got a 6 year old K5 compact and the hose is also driving me insane, its got to go. Now that you have had this set up for a while are there any negatives vs the original set up? plus can you change the end spray nozzle as you can on the hand gun. Oh and would you still recommend this brand? Thanks this made me laugh a lot.
Hello Tim955, If I have made you laugh then it was well worth doing, we all need a little cheer👍. I have no negatives what so ever with my set up. It made cleaning the car a delight rather than a debate on who was going to win today, me or the hose. I still have the same set up but would like to replace my little k2 this year with a Krenzle K10 if I can get it into the workshop without my wife finding out how much it is. I will also buy it from Gleem as Im big on customer service and thats what you get from Keith. I have spoken to him a couple of time since I bought my set up and he is always happy to help. I have a selection of nozzles that quick fit into the gun so no issue there. Anything else you want to know about this or any of my videos then please just drop me a comment and I will always get back to you. Hope that helps and stay safe
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Many thanks for the quick response, I will contact Gleem to get an idea of prices plus i need to check that any investment can be easily transferred to a future jet wash. Best wishes.
@@Tim955w no problem. Let me know what you do and how you get on👍
Thank you for this video
I hope it was of some help
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer what’s the name of the gun? Is this the SUTTNER ST1100?
@@coporofrito yep👍
Hi , could you give me the details of the store and the parts and hose that you bought and rough cost ? Thanks Mike.
ok, hope you are sitting down, this is expensive but having used them for nearly 2 years I am still delighted with the kit and makes washing the car so much easier. I bought them from Gleem Detailing, they have an on line shop. The lance is a Suttner 600mm with bend £30. Quick release Suttner ST1100 gun £45. 10m hose with fittings £65. Do you need smelling salts 🤣
Thanks , great
Am looking at upgrading my hose to one of these. Are they worth the money are they alot more flexible than the karcher one. Thanks
Hi Simon, they are more flexible and a lot better quality but not as flexible as say a garden hose but so much better to work with than the Karcher ones. It really has made cleaning my car a much better experience as I no longer have to fight the hose. The gun & lance are amazing and great quality & the performance of my old pressure washer has improved with this kit connected. I do not regret spending the money. You may look around for cheaper Chinese kit like some advertise but this is quality German Engineering.
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer exactly I have just started mobile valeting part time at the moment so trying to upgrade every so often. I have just got the hand held gun so much better I got the k5 x range and its Brill with that. May consider it then thanks very much for your advice I appreciate it
@@simonattwood4363 Glad to be of help Simon & I wish you well in your new enterprise, hopefully the reviews on my channel will be of help to you. I always just say it as it is as I am just an enthusiast.
All the things karcher should have done in there R and D 👏👏👏
my thoughts exactly👍
Hiya mate what garden hose have you got and would you recommend it
Hi, the hose in that video was a Hozelock from B&Q and wouldn't recommend it as under constant pressure feeding the washer it ballooned and split a couple of times. I now have a Verve hose, again from B&Q and so far so good
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer Thank you, was looking at Hozelock but they didnt have good reviews ill try the other one
Hi witch is the company you speak to for you pip an quick release for you your k2
As I'm interested as I've got a k2 as well an thinking the same as u have
Cheers

I just got stuck in it again - lethal stupid hose
🤣🤣🤣
Sounds and looks great but definitely cost more than the washer itself
A new washer is on the list. Just hope I’m on the good kids list this Christmas 🤣
May i know how much those items cost please Martin?
I have a new Karcher K2 with the later hose connection
Hi I’m struggling with the internet at the moment but I gave this info to mke6653 in the comments a couple days ago so check that out. Hope that helps
Just read it, yeah , not cheap, i may just try get quick release connections for ease of packing the stuff away when finished with, as the new karcher hose connects i think are a pain to release.
Thanks Martin
How much did this all cost ?

Frank you are clearly a Gleem supporter🤷🏻♂️
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer I have the same problem with a Workmate power washer and most other washers I have used, so I emphatised with your predicament. Enjoy your videos, I am suing Fusso at the moment. I like it very much
@@frankmetcalfe9391 I hope to do a 5 month review on fusso this week. Not been cleaned since I applied it
Seen some amazing videos showing so much better homes. I'm baffled at why they keep stocking their hardware with such bad components. I mean almost every video we see about reviews,mentions their totally crap home.
The latest Karcher hoses are not that bad but it has taken them a long time to sort it oiut
@@ObsessiveCarDetailer in the store they all look the same. Some kind of hard plastic hose which easily memories the shape. That's the main curling issue i see over and over.
I've a Karcher HD 4/8 professional and the hose supplied is the exact bloody same its a complete and utter joke of a hose
I think they are designed to fight you Peter 🤣
