That's not where he wants you, it's just where he's starting...

Nilfisk use the Kew/Alto connectors, so any proper lance will fit with the relevant connector - AD do a lance if you're ordering other stuff from there. Pretty much all proper foam lances are much of a muchness and usually around the same price although CYC seem to offer the cheapest barring offers/group buys. Once you have a proper lance, the pressure washer itself will only affect the foam slightly but not as much as your tap pressure, basically better water flow = better foam (to a degree). As for what's the best brand - Nilfisk still use metal components in their pumps whereas Karcher have moved to plastic, which is more prone to failure. How much more is debatable though. What you'll probably find is that people will tend to "recommend" whatever brand they currently have themselves. Other brands are available, some can be difficult to find the correct connector for though so check that before buying.

That's the one I've been using for the last 4/5 years (the C110), it's done me well enough.

Arise dead thread and live again, muahahahahaha... er, yes, moving on. In case anyone is interested, I finally got round to replacing my dead Aqua Gleam filter and went with the 11litre Daqua one filled with MB-115 (link in the OP) in the end. Here it is next to the Aqua Gleam for a size comparison; Just a bit bigger... I ordered it late on Sunday night and it arrived the following Tuesday morning, so the service from Daqua couldn't have been better. So, tested it out today; TDS readings - on the right is water straight out of the tap, on the left it's from the filter; That'll do me. A couple of things to note; the Daqua filter comes exactly as seen above, there's no hozelock connectors to attach it to the tap/hose like there was with the Aqua Gleam (which also comes as seen above with that little bit of hose and the two connectors), so if you don't have a couple spare then you'll need to buy those separately before you can use it properly (not forgetting the length of hose between the tap & filter of course). Also, I discovered the first time I used the Aqua Gleam filter that it builds up a bit of pressure so when disconnecting it from the tap I experienced what what Debbie must have felt like when she visited Dallas, namely a face-full of fluid. The Daqua filter, being bigger, builds up much more pressure so when you come to disconnect it remember to turn the tap off but let the water flow for a bit before disconnecting anything, especially if you're using a spray gun or have it connected to the pressure washer.

They're okay, I guess. Just kidding, they look great GM.

My originality knows no bounds... same username there as here (and just about everywhere else too). @ilogikal1

Electric/heated/leather seats, Bose stereo upgrade and cruise control. JDM's differ vastly though.

http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/foam-pre-wash/cyc-snow-foam-lance/prod_1296.html with the Nilfisk/Alto connection. All snow foam lances (proper lances, not the crappy detergent bottles!) are much of a muchness, but this is the cheapest one I know of - I've got both this one and the PA lance from Polished Bliss, the only difference is the PA lance bottle is marginally bigger. ETA the right link...

SRP is an AIO (All In One) - although not it's strong point, it does contain chemical cleaners so it's cleans, fills and protects.

Super resin polish (SRP ) should be enough to remove them, give that a go and see how you get on. You could do it by hand, but it'll be much easier with the machine. When you've got rid of it, give it another coat of wax too.

If you have a machine already, do you have any polishes? If so which ones? I'll let you know if any of them will work first to save you buying anything else if possible.

It's likely to be oxidation of the paint not covered up by those stickers. Any abrasive polish will sort it, as would most decent paint cleaners especially when used with a machine - Prime/Strong, Rejuvenate, Lime Prime/Lite, probably even SRP with a suitable pad choice.

A foam lance, no. One of those crappy standard detergent bottles, yes.

Yes; use the search function, there's a billion and four threads on here covering this topic.

Battery cover needs those water spots wiping off, but still...

FTFY.

Yes, so long as you use EGP before the wax. Pretty much any wax will sit nicely on top of EGP. If it's gloss you're after, a proper deep, thorough polish will give better results than EGP though.

<< Pedantic git.

If it's just condensation inside, remove them and leave them in the airing cupboard overnight to dry them out, then it's just a case of making sure they're sealed properly before refitting - no need to dismantle the units at all.

Just seen Waxybox have posted this in various places regarding the club discounts, in case anyone missed it;

It's okay, it doesn't work at the moment anyway.
