I wonder if ECP are struggling? I don't think any of these sales produce better prices than normal, so in reality, the sale prices are the normal prices.

If you use this sort of retail tactic, you have to keep doing it (DFS/SCS style), else nobody will buy at non sale time (even though we know its the same price).
they are after the whole trade market,including paint and consumables, some small independants are feeling, the ecp pinch.

Ecp have opened locally here now and are giving the other factors a headache,brought prices down all round though so not complaining in the short term,long term I'm not sure how it'll pan out ???

Dont find prerssure washers clean the car that well anyway .They are fine for getting rid of plenty of much but still need to sponge and the leather so hardly worth the effort getting it all pluggged and plumbed in just for a quick blast.

Found my trusty old Karcher great for cleaning patios and decking ,but only ever used it on the car the once and not impressed.

Same here. :-\

A waste of time on the car as the results don't warrant the effort. :-\

Thought as much, 50% Sales finished last night, current price £39.99.

Meaning it can now be had for £27.99 with the Discount Code.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Now you see I rate a pressure washer for cleaning the car, it blasts the wheel arches and lower sills plus the insides of the alloys really well

Jet wash is the only way to remove sharp partials without rubbing it off, with a sponge for instance. Jet wash first, get the worst of the mud and scratch able stuff off, THEN go on with the bucket and sponge.

If you go straight in with the sponge you'll get swirls all over the place.


Jet wash
Two bucket method with sponge
Dry/leather of the water
(Clay, polish if needed)
Wax

If your expecting the jet wash to do all the work above. No chance.

Also check Nilfisk jet washer. Slightly more, but with more attachments and as good as Kircsher ;)
