    help needed choosing a pressure washer please.

    i'd like to buy a pressure washer that cheap and cheerful so ican wash the car and the concrete in the back garden,

    when i wash my car i dont have time to clean, polish and wax, unfortunatly! but i dont want to pay someone to do it as i prefer to do it myself.

    i'd like to get a pressure washer thats cheap, reliable, electric and has a the detergent suction tube,

    ive seen this in tesco's but not sure if there is any other ones out there that can be recommended.

    p.s what can i put in the suction tube, so i dont need to do anything else to my car afterwards apart from maybe dry it? any wash + wax stuff thats good to use?

    I've got the above pressure washer now and I'm still yet to find out what I can put through the suction tube to clean and protect the car, I have very little time during the day and could do with a simple wash/cleaning agent/rinse/dry method. Any ideas?

    I used it today to wash the car and used some of the general wash+wax stuff through the suction tube, it didn't come up to bad but had to give a helping hand with the grime on the wheels and sills with a wash mitt, I finished it off with slapping on some auto glym resin, let it dry then buffed it off, that'll do

    You have to unscrew the end off the lance and just spray the water out with just the trigger gun lmao
