Chris you can either get a pressure washer that you will break at some later stage, or go to the shops and buy 300 10pence mixutres........
Know what I would choose! |

The £30 ones arn't much better then having your tap at full blast with a decent nozzle on the end (that said a decent nozzle is about a tenner!) - you really need a hot wash jet wash to make a difference I recon. Local jetwash here is £1.50 a go and really powerful as my mate found out when he jetwashed the paint off his front bumper lol. |

Well ladies I bought it.
Removes paint, oil, concrete and all sorts. Well good for 28 quid.
Used it to clean up the slabs etc, takes em back in seconds.
Its as good as a dear one I had a good few years back.
The detergent thingy is a bit sporadic but I don't mind as I hand wash anyway.
So GUNK the bay and wash the bugger then swap the rack. |

The hot one i have used has 2 tanks. You fill both of them up and then wait for it to heat one of them up.
Then when you use it i think one of them provides the meat of the jet and the hot one provides the steam.
or something like that.
its quite effective though. |

And no not swapped the rack yet, was out all day today.
You need to buy a hose seperatly. |
