Thought I'd share this, for those of you who live in an apartment building and don't have access to water or power in the parking garage.

I recently bought a WORX Hydroshot power washer. I got mine from Amazon.

What it came with
Long reach lance
Nozzle with multile spray patterns
10m hoze with filter and bucket clip
20v 2Amp Hour battery

What's it good at?
Pre rinse of paintwork and wheels
Post wash rinse to remove suds
Spritz between washes remove settled dust/rain water marks

What it won't do
Blast off dirt that's dried onto the paint

So it doesn't have the power of even the smallest Kaercher washer, but if you don't have a garden hose this is a good alternative. The standard battery provides enough running time to rinse my F32 off pre and post [two bucket] wash, it will get in the pannel gaps and push the suds out. I use about 20l of water for pre and post wash rinse combined. Using it on the 40 degree spray fan, however smaller spray patterns are available the 40 degree seems the most useful.

I haven't tried the snow-foam bottle yet, mainly because I haven't bought one yet, and I'm not convinced that it's going to be that effective.

I think that this offeres good value, it's compact and can be tidied away even if you have a small apartment with limited storage.
