Probably do the job better with a rotating brush head as all that karcher thing does is angle the spray head up and stick some wheels on a metal frame.... Wink

Redneck engineering has its advantages you know.... FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

I use the river.
Free
No manual effort
Kids like it too

Or, the Kosovan car wash, which is also zero effort, just not free and not half as much fun Laughing

One other line of defence is your local haulage firm. They have all the facilities to jetwash the underneath of trucks and if you get friendly with one of the fitters, for a tenner you can get the underside of your car done. Once a year, after winter salt this is a good thing.

But crawling around on wet driveways with a jetwash in one hand and a scrubbing brush in the other? Takes a special kind of person does that, with "Special" being the operative word. Wink

top tip, dont do the top first as when the underside gets washed it washes the dirt 'up' into the engine compartment... ... - .- -.

United Kingdom 2007 Range Rover Supercharged Supercharged Java Black

Well a quick trip to homebase yielded 2 sprinklers a y piece and some jubilee clips all for about £14. A little bit of fannying around and I managed to get it hooked up to the pressure washer too. The underside of the car is cleaner than any other part!
