I ordered a few things from Autogeek prior to Christmas to take advantage of a 15% sale , only to see they had a 20% sale after , oh well ..... anyway one of the things I bought was a "Fire Hose Nozzle". For those of us that live in "multi seasonal" environments and get our cars exposed to plenty of muck and wet road debris these things really work! They have a much greater degree of pressure with unlimited adjustment for sprays etc. What impressed me though was it's ability to clean out the wheel arches ,brake dust and lower body panels where most of the dirt gathers. Spraying the car down with this nozzle prior to washing really reduced the amount of grime thus I'm sure there was less dirt to potentially wash into the clearcoat.

Cheers and FYI

Shamu you better get on the detail program and save your cash !! Quite a few orbitals were acquired by the members over Christmas ............ now the learning curve . Good luck with the Auto Spa, I hear good things about quality and price from friends who use them.....
