Those are much cheaper than I thought Ashley! Pretty cool.

Does it have enough pressure in it to attack the skirts, sills and arches in reality?

^^^ just picking up on the fact you use the word 'attack' maybe you don't actually mean that but just in case...

You don't really want to go at dirt on a vehicle too hard with a blasting jet of water, all you'll end up doing is embedding fine pieces of grit and metal into your paintwork.

If you do use a pressure washer make sure you are angling the jet at the bodywork rather than aiming it in a direct manner / face on.

That's a good tip, Frenzy  :drinking:

Nope, purely aggravation so it's loose and comes off nicely  :happy2:

For £8 I wondered if it was going to be more like a tap flow rather than with some power like a normal hose pipe nozzle.
