Having seen a mention of this new product I recently bought a Karcher Chassis Cleaner
http://www.alexshanks.com/karcher-under-chassis-cleaner-accessory-p1174
and thought I would post a review in case others are considering it.
I recommend it especially if you are driving your car in the winter and want to get rid of the salt and gunk. Easy to use and seems pretty effective.
It's well designed and screwed together (2 year guarantee). It's a three stage process: 1 apply shampoo (using the applicator attachment which delivers a foam); 2 clean off (using the rotating pressure spray head which is height adjustable); 3. Apply after wash protector wax (again using the applicator). Takes only a few minutes for the whole process, and an easy add on prior to washing the car, and certainly preferable to leaving it knowing that salt is under there.
Switching between the attachments is very easy (simple bayonet fitting). It also comes with two lance extensions which are useful for the pressure washer with other tools as well. On the whole, a good buy I think.
Points to note:
- you need to have a Karcher pressure washer, it won't fit other makes.
- would not be suitable if you have lowered suspension; it has to be on the lowest height setting to fit under my QP.
- as supplied it only comes with sample quantities of the shampoo and protection wax (enough for one wash), you will need to order additional.
