    • @bigtedshome
      @bigtedshome  6 месяцев назад

      Thanks Shane. The K2 should be fine as long as you don't want to clean large areas of paving. You might find the 5m hose to be a pain when washing the car but the k2 is light enough to move around easily.

  • @jackiebhai3695
    @jackiebhai3695 2 месяца назад +1

    • @bigtedshome
      @bigtedshome  2 месяца назад +2

      Thanks Jackie. Yes, you need the water supply connected and turned on whenever you use your pressure washer. If you don't, it will destroy the pump.

    could you use this to apply Sodium Hypochlorite if it was only used for that? and would it effect my washer in anyway , and thanks for sharing the vid

    • @bigtedshome
      @bigtedshome  11 месяцев назад +1

      I don't see why not as long as you are careful where you spray it. The plastic shouldn't react with the sodium hyperchlorite but I would wash it out afterwards. It won't affect your pressure washer as the sodium hyperchlorite is forced away from the machine by the water flow. Let us know how it goes if you decide to try it.

  • @davidwestwood2627
    @davidwestwood2627 Месяц назад +1

    Great video. Stupid question but if the water is flowing through the Lance to activate the foam do you not just add the foam neat into the container. Or does it still need to be watered down with a 5:1 ratio

    • @bigtedshome
      @bigtedshome  Месяц назад +1

      It depends on the foam you are using. Most snow foams are diluted before adding to the foam cannon. The water flowing through the lance further dilutes it to the correct concentration.

    7:21 you change scene to a black Fiesta. I have had mine for 5 years now and like my previous two cars have always used a mitt or sponge with a bucket of Wash & Wax. I have found this takes a long time and although makes you feel you have actually done the work rather than a machine and you do apply more effort into the job compared to someone who used a pressure washer, it is tiring and back breaking as well as time consuming with longer time taken and more elements to the job. The main drawback with pressure washer car cleaning is you feel that this is a job more suited to hardcore petrol heads (the type who own sports cars like Golf's GTI's and Focus RS's) who spend thousands on their car. I have had a Renault Clio Expression, Mazda 2 TF and this Fiesta Titanium so hardly a massive petrol head. But I am looking forward to getting the Kaercher K2 today in time for Santa to deliver it. I am more looking forward to finding out the difference between bucket washing and using a machine that takes all the work from me.

    • @bigtedshome
      @bigtedshome  8 месяцев назад +1

      Why should the petrol heads have all the fun 🙂 You will still have to work though as you need to use a mitt for the second stage (shampoo) and a towel to dry the car if you don't want any water marks.

    Do you apply the snow foam onto a dry car? Is there any benefit to giving the car a quick blast just with water first?

    • @bigtedshome
      @bigtedshome  Год назад +2

      Yes, apply the snow foam onto the dry car. Rinsing the car first makes it harder for the snow foam to adhere.

      The water needs to stay on whenever you are using the Karcher. If you don't have water going through it, you will damage the pump.

      You will need to use alloy wheel cleaner like this and a brush to clean off stubborn brake dust: amzn.to/48PqQ4q
      Most of these cleaners are corrosive so always wear eye protection and gloves when using them.

    @SuperCholdi 7 месяцев назад +1

    I've had three of these and they're not very very good. The yellow seal/washer/whatever it is came out of the first one as I removed it from the lance and I had to mangle it to get it off; I put it down to bad luck and got another. The second caused my Karcher K4 to pulse so I took it back to Halfords and changed it for the third one which has yet to break. The foam is thin and runs straight off the car and onto the ground no matter how you set the dial.
    Don't waste your money.

    Bought one after this review. It is rubbish! Used Simoniz snow foam cleaner, and got a nice foam. Despite a pre-rinse with the jet washer, two applications of the foam at slightly stronger than the recommended dosage, and a rinse off with the jet washer, the light road film on my car stayed and I had to resort to a traditional sponge wash. Might as well have used a bucket and hose as it's a lot less hassle then setting the Karcher up! YMMV. The yellow insert in the cannon's connector got stuck in the Karcher handle and had to be prised out with pliers leading to it being damaged, so the cannon is being sent back for a refund!

    • @bigtedshome
      @bigtedshome  2 месяца назад

      You were right to send it back if the yellow insert came out as it was obviously faulty. I think however, that you have misinterpreted how snow foam is supposed to be used. Snow foam is not designed to give you a touchless wash. Snow foam is used as a pre-wash that breaks down and removes the worst of the grime when rinsed off. This should then be followed by a contact wash with shampoo. This video shows the process: ruclips.net/video/k1X4d6nGOG8/видео.html
