This looks like a useful bit of kit if you already have a Karcher power washer,it is a accessory to power wash the underside of the car, you can also add cleaners to it and then a rust protection treatment.

I may be a bit of a tight- (_|_) but I have always found a rainwave type sprinkler to be pretty efficient at cleaning the entire underbody of my Jimny.

This type of sprinkler sends about 20 jets of water back and forth under your vehicle, only about $20...

I wash the Landy once every couple of years!

I take it he was shampooing, rinsing and then waxing the underneath of his car?

What a sad sod!!!!!!!!

It looks a bit over the top :) , I think the idea is that you give it a deep clean then apply a rust proofer , which is supplied by Karcher ;) I think its mainly to protcet against road salt and a build up of mud that retains moisture.I bet it will struggle with serious off roaders mud build up.
I usualy put mine on ramps and power wash it, although I have already waxoiled the underside of the Jimny and the internal ladder chassis members which helps to stop a build up of crud.
I bet with a Landy 110 you could carry half a field without noticing it :silly:

Why not just stick a 90deg elbow on the end of the normal lance and use the standard head/nozzle?

Thats what i have been doing for a while now!

Better invest in a decent set of waterproofs if you've got a pressure washer already, put it up on a set or ramps front wheels first, water proofs on and away you go!! then back wheels then RHS then LHS.
