Hiya
just thought id post this as others may find it useful? A few months ago i bought a bottle of halfords easy spray wash & wax to tide me over before getting a pressure washer. Its quite a neat product the bottle just attatches to a garden hosepipe and theres an on/off switch on gives you soap,off just clean clear water to rinse it off ;)

I wasnt impressed at first but having ran out of my normal car wash yesterday and it threatning rain all day(didnt want to get electrocuted by mains cables going to my karcher if the heavens opened :( )i thought id give it another go.

i discovered the reason it was poo last time was the tap id been connecting my hose to had really low pressure so instead of the outside tap i connected it to the bathroom tap using a jubilee clip adaptor thingy :huh:

The pressure was fab and it worked really well:)
I was about to throw the bottle away only to find Halfords have inadvertently actually produced a reusable pressure attatchment :P

Its about 6 months since i bought it and cant remember how much it cost? I think it was about a fiver?
Its no longer listed on halfords site but as far as i know they still sell them:)
You only get a couple of washes out of the original contents but you can refill them with anything you only need a couple of capfuls of wash and top up with water.

the good thing is you cant really pressure wash a mini because they leak but the pressure on these seems just right:)
You will still need a proper pressure washer for thick cacked on mud but for routine quick washing there fab!!! ;D

So have a go see if your local halfords still have them? Ive now washed mine out for refilling and peeled off all the labels as they come off really easy heres some piccys of what they look like minus the stickers.
