I have a nilfisk P150.2 I bought from the nilfisk outlet. It’s an incredible machine that I use for cleaning block paving etc . For my defender I just use with an Autobrite snow foam attachment and bilt hamber auto foam (snow foam). No way I’m going to use anything other than a hose , two bucket system and lambs wool mitts on Daisy, as she is a very pampered 110 Xs puma and the nilfisk if used too close can remove paint.sure you can adjust Nozzle for pressure reduction but cleaning is about volume of water and careful removal of dirt with mitts and two bucket system.
So rinse with hose, snow foam with pressure washer, leave 10 mins, rinse with hose, clean with lambs wall mitt using two bucket system, rinse with hose, dry with microfibre towels. If not done before before clay bar, then polish, then wax. Bilt hamber double speed wax is really good. Next time you can avoid clay bar and polish and just wax. To get contaminated paint really clean before using a clay bar you can use Korrosol from bilt hamber. Ps I have no connection with them just love there products for performance and price. The nilfisk outlet needs to be checked regularly to see when one is available, but when they are they are a fantastic price for a commercial rated device that makes a karcher look like a toy. So good 2 of my neighbours bought one after using mine. |

I have a Nilfisk CORE 140 Powercontrol Pressure Washer (https://www.nilfisk.com/en-ie/consumer/products/high-pressure-washers/core-compact/core-140-6-powercontrol-uk/c_128471254/)
It is still going strong after a number of years and has the great feature that the hose stores away in the unit so you don't have a load of cable hanging around your garage. Think there is a deal at Cosco if you are a card holder. - Land Rover S2a - Defender 90 SW (For Sale: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic92224.html) |

My nilfisk P150.2 is still running perfectly, as are my neighbours. The drain cleaning attachment has worked well in cleaning underground 110mm drains and can be used to clean the inside of the chassis if needed.

My Kranzle is also still going strong, makes light work of any job I ask it to do. It's the simple things I like, the hose that never kinks, how well thought out it is, how I dont have to worry about it failing even if I dont use it for a long time.

My hot water karacher I have replaced after total 16 years in my use, having bought it 2nd hand. I have bought a commercial karacher to replace it. Hds 7/10 I think it was. They had a sale on! Cheers

I had a nifilsk for 20 years served me extremely well. I now have a Kranzel k10 plumbed in the garage with wide bore hosing. It's an excellent piece of kit. For use away from buildings I have a Honda GX200 with a annovi-reverberi pump which is nice and mobile and pretty reliable although the GX200 is currently in bits on my workbench
