Hi, just wanted to get anyone's opinion/s of/on these under car pressure washer unit type bits of kit. Seen quite a few Tube of U videos, and they '''seem''' ideal to get rid of mud, crud and general skid marks (they seem handy for off-roaders especially) thus leaving the bottoms of our 'trusty' L332s nice and gleaming...
Personally, I was/am concerned they might cause some water pressure damage/harm to any vulnerable items/components under the vehicle, or leave water ingress as a likely future rust problem...
I just wondered, really...

I quite like the idea of these, I can’t imagine it would do much in the way of damage water wise, the underside is possibly going to get submerged in water anyway should you find a deep enough ford or flood, as long as you don’t keep it in one place for ages, I think it’ll be very useful 2009 (2010 MY) 5.0 Supercharged Autobiography

Cheers for that Paul. Yes exactly, as I imagine we must get plenty of rain splash when out in a bit of a torrential downpour - not that I like to do so if I can avoid doing so.
The cheapest of these washers are around £18.00 post-free - and seem to come from bio flu land but with warehouses in UK, it seems...
A suggestion is to remove the unit muck filter to get more pressure...

What a brilliant idea , especially as we are moving into the time of year when our respective
councils start spreading rock salt on the roads.

I am going to invest in one, thanks for the heads up

i've been through car washes and they had these kinda things on the floor ....i had no problems after.. ... - .- -.

Looks like they're only 3/8" and my Kranzle is M22

Might have to investigate one of these though! Christian.

Yes, I agree, if it’s not concentrated on the same spot for too long, should be good.

Will it affect underseal? Sprayed some on a month or so ago…

Good find.

Could do with this piece of kit in the winter to get road salt off the underside of the car ie: L405

I bought one of the Karcher underbody wash/rinse chassis cleaners (only because it was very cheap) - actually works surprisingly well.

Oh yes I forgot about all that snowy weather salt prep - and considering we are entering deeper into a solar minimum (sunspot activity) period (since 2 years now) we might be in for quite a salty experience... I'm defo gonna get one! We could become the new '''heroes''' of the modern ice age era with our chunky 4x4s...

Yes, exactly, I haven't checked if my Archer - or is it Karcher?!? - connects with any of these devices as yet? I think there are a few suggestions for adaptors etc on supplying outlets and Tube of U for the half dozen or so of different makes of these bits of kit...

Yes I can imagine if left on same spot for too long and a sudden clang and clatter of metal components might suggest too much pressure but as you say water at pressure might find a way of causing some problem/s...

Yes it should work OK for an L405 too...

I have a Karcher - so maybe I'll check this one out also...
