Too bad you can only buy it from that UK site. Shipping and CC fees would probably make it really expensive.

Hmm, how powerful is it may I ask? I find that the more powerful it is, the farther away you have to stand from the car. Also, powerful=better foam than me too haha

Why is your hood white?
EDIT: I forgot to say thank you. I put a lot of time into restoring the paint and doing small subtle mods to it

Haha, I was wondering when someone would point that out. I got sideswiped in a hit and run so I had my entire driver side repainted. Unfortunately the shop used a tinted clear and messed up. I got fed up with them so I decided to leave it and wait for a real repaint in Black Sapphire Pearl/Gunmetal combo. The hood is the original gold color while the side is tinted original gold color

It shouldn't be too bad. If I could without becoming a sponsor, I would organize a group buy if quite a few people here would be interested in picking up one. However, I don't think Dave would be very happy if I did that without becoming a forum sponsor

Naw, he was referring to the original pic. Reason was stated above if you're interested in my car history lol

I've read more poor reviews than good when compared with the big league. You definitely get what you pay for. The Cam Spray cannon and my UK Foam Lance are tried and true products that literally blow the Karcher version out of the way. However, if you are fine with sticking with the cheaper for now, why not?

Why not go there and pick one up yourself? I'm sure that you'll like the place. If I remember correctly he is part of the Whittier Chem Guys factory or something. The Smart Wax line is CG anyway

I would email him if you want one very badly

Sell it! I sold mine to Jay after I got my pressure washer and foam lance. I do everything at home so I can easily do that
