Foam Gun for Washing Your Car

[12vdc]

Go with Karcher, you wont regret it. Hose lang naman ang madalas masira and yung trigger mechanism. Just make sure to flush and drain every after use or before storage para hindi kalawangin. Periodically check din ang filter for trapped stones/ debris. Though magnesium alloy ang casing, yung components sa loob pwede parin mag calcify, yan lang ang pinaka maintenance sa end user from my experience.

OT. Ok din alagaan pusa, bihira paliguan. Mabaho lang poops at bawal sa buntis kelangan activated carbon lage kung indoor setup. . I just disposed some kits to my cousin, dumadami na kasi.

Ma'm Cosmic_ Girl, recommended ko rin po 'yang Karcher. I have 2 units.
Karcher Model # K2.00. Both are more than 5 years old na. stock / spare lang 'yung isa.
Hindi pa nagagamit kasi in very good condition pa 'yung isa.

Used my Karcher thousands of times na. Di lang panlinis ng kotse. Matibay lang talaga.
Easy lang ang care and maintenance. gaya nga ng sabi ni sir 12vdc: "make sure to flush and drain everything after use or before storage...". Disconnect the waterline (inlet) then run the washer hanggang sa halos wala ng lumalabas na tubig doon sa hose (outlet). Then, punas- punas to dry
na lang everything before storage.

'yung "foamer" is a separate accessory na ikinakabit sa gun. Ginagamit ko rin dati 'yang ganyan ko.
Kaya lang, nung naubos na 'yung Karcher Car Shampoo ko, di ko na rin nagamit. At saka, wala
kasing mabilhan that time. Tried other car shampoos, kaya lang ayaw gumana, hahaha, ayaw lumabas sa foamer.
Meron talagang car shampoo para sa "foamer"... kaya lang, kuntento na rin ako sa DIY car wash.
Pang rinse, removing stubborn dirts, or cleaning the tambutso na lang ang PW.

If you will buy the Karcher, buy na rin a longer hose. I think the supplied hose is usually 4 - 5.5m lang. I use the 9m hose. Better the longer, so you can get around the car without carrying the
equipment.

Ano pa ba? Ah, don't use it nga pala to your pets, :bwahaha: kawawa naman the animals.
Bad sample ako diyan, kasi trip ko bugahan ng PW 'yung mga pusang- gala na natutulog sa
ibabaw / ilalim ng car namin. hehehe. "Bad Trip Thread" ng mga pusa on early morning weekends.
:hysterical:

One last tip na lang...
Wear short shorts and tank tops... you'll find it very comfortable. I'm sure, a lot of guys,
errr... I mean, you will enjoy cleaning you new car with a new washer. :thumbup:

Good Morning Tsikoteers! :cheer3:

Oh no! May sariling car shampoo ang karcher? That piece of info was very important! It would be useless if I buy it then the shampoo is hard to find naman. I have not seen any Karcher car shampoo at Ace or True Value. I just bought a big bottle of microtex

Balak ko kasi yung mist spray lang for my fat lab mahilig kasi siya sa tubig.

^ Meron nga po Ma'm. In 5li. (or 4li.... not sure eh) containers.
Maraming washin na 'yon, kasi 'yung "cup" ng foamer will hold 0.5li. lang.
2 washing na 'yon, may sobra pa. I think averaging 200ml per wash.
Ang laki ng kinikita ng foam car wash di ba? You'll be surprised kung gaano katipid sa tubig
ang mga pressure washers.

'yung PW ko, both, ayaw lang talaga mag- work sa ibang type ng shampoo.
Ewan ko ba. Viscosity properties siguro. For sure, meron mai- recommend 'yung mga shops.
Good luck na lang po.

Hmmm. So I should not get the KC200 pala kasi mapili sa shampoo.

*12vdc and nightrock, ano model ng karcher niyo?

lumang model na ma'm ang K2.00. sabi ko nga mine is already 5yrs old.
wala na siguro itong model na ito sa mga stores ngayon. stop production na, hehehe.
lots o' new models in the market. sa ace nakaka- kita ako ng mga new models.

if I wil buy a new one today, hingan ko 'yung shop ng recommended shampoo nila.
i'll buy it, with the assurance that it will work with the PW.
kung puwede nga eh, doon mismo sa shop i- testing. no work = no buy.
ganun lang ako kasimple makipag- negotiate sa mga seller.
some ace shops will let you bring it home and return within 3 days yata.

pa singit lang... wow I did not realize malakas pala sa consumo ng car shapoo ang karcher. just imagine a 200ml=6.7 oz shampoo per wash needed to wash a car or 5X for every a liters of shampoo. where as if you gonna use microtex shampoo using the traditional bucket method, needs only 10 to 15ml of shampoo, that's roughly 66 times of car wash. so kung weekly lang ang car wash ay di na mauubos ang a liter shampoo in a year. Saan ka pa ba? Nakatipid ka na sa shampoo at pati na rin kuryenter, oooops di lang pala yun kundi nakapag exercise pa habang hinihimas-himas este mano mano pala sa pagcar-wash using bucket method. As in may TLC ka pa sa car mo. Bwahahaha
