Like to keep my cars clean. Hosepipe ban here since 24th August. Thought I'd better find a solution.
And here it is:
A cordless pressure washer! Runs from a watering can!
Thought this would be s***, It isn't. It really isn't.
Combined with a snow-foam bottle, it certainly works very well. As can be seen in the above pic. Remember, by the way, that snow-foam's primary function is for the owner to take photos of his newly snow-foamed car and post on Facebook/social media. And it certainly fulfills that function as can be seen above.
The pressure washer simply pulls the water out of the garden watering can but (obvs) can be connected to a hose once the ban is lifted. It's no super high-pressure Karcher, but it works surprisingly well and is very convenient and very suitable for car washing. Because the pressure is not so high (22 bar) you can even use it on your Z3 soft top, which I wouldn't recommend with a very high-pressure washer as it can damage the fabric.
The cordless example effortlessly rinses the car off. And get this, I just used four, yes four, watering cans to wash the two cars!
The snow-foam bottle is from Halfords and is a good bit of kit. It comes with an adaptor that works with the Titan cordless pressure washer, and an adaptor for the Karcher, for when life returns to normal. Make no mistake, this is a quality piece of kit, all brass fittings, no plastic here. I don't know how they do it for the money. Fully adjustable, just tweak the adjustment knob while "foaming" to get the best "foaminess".
So I'm very happy with these two purchases. Initially I thought I'd be filling up the watering can every two minutes, but two cans per car, I'm amazed how little water it uses to do such a great job.
