Hi Ian. Enjoyed the vlog - interesting and useful, and good to see you so relaxed you can do it in your slippers ! Great combination - helpful information and making us smile ! Long may it last. Thank you. George and Trish.
That was a great video especially the part where you put the soap into the bottle then realised you were wearing your slippers, you always give me a good laugh! I did think when you were washing the car and after your previous video washing the dogs 😳 never mind the washer battery, has he checked the camera battery? I think you produce the most entertaining videos that I watch on CZcams, you are just naturally funny! That’s a compliment by the way 😁 Thanks as always for sharing your adventure.
never laughed so much at a video in a long time lol great review. think you'll find the snow foam is fine, the actual foamer you get in the kit and lack of pressure is what lets it down. have the hydroshot myself and use it to give the car a final rinse down with deionised water to save getting water spots.
got one to clean dog, clean decking after dog accident. But, for the van I decided to add an external bullfinch shower attachment. well its not quite external as its fitted on the seat end inside the back door. the good thing is that it is temp controlled so can have warm water.
That sounds great Michael. I’m gonna try the bottle. I have hot water in the van so I can try that too. This was just a test to see if I like it. It’s great. 👍🏻
Well another cracking video that had us in stitches!! Informative too and the kit looks really handy 👍🏻 I’m glad you gave Instagram a try. Linking up the posts straight with Facebook does makes things really easy 👌🏻 Well done on the new subscribers, you deserve it 😊 We are really looking forward to meeting you and Julie x
We are looking forward to meeting you both too. You can give me some instagram lessons. Don’t look forward to meeting Julie too much. She’s dead grumpy. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the encouragement and the lovely comment. 👍🏻
Nice one Ian, how many buckets did it take to wash Julie's car? I've been thinking about those for a while as I use water butts at home for car washing. Will it replace your mains pressure washer for cleaning decking, flags etc or is it not powerful enough. Cheers K. Oh and slippers really.
That’s a very good question. It took one bucket to put the snow foam on and two buckets to wash it all off. I could have done it all with one battery if it had been a full battery when I started. It can’t replace a mains pressure washer. No way. Not nearly as powerful. One the most powerful setting it is a very thin powerful jet of water but it’s so thin it would take ages to clean decking. Good for car cleaning bike cleaning dog cleaning and many more things but not massively powerful. 👍🏻
Like this very much, it seems to deliver good pressure for such a portable size and being able to use a portable water source. Seen a few mountain bikers use similar so will check it out but also like the idea of cleaning our van on the go 😂👍 The snow foam attachment made it look like a paint ball gun, you could start a new craze there 😉
To be the honest the snow foam was disappointing. Not enough pressure for it I don't think. The pressure was great for washing the van or cleaning a mountain bike and the dogs even stood still while I cleaned them on the shower setting. All in all I would say that it's a bit expensive for what it is but it does what it was made to do. Thanks for the comment.
Great video Ian, I’ve seen someone on CZcams using one of these in his koi carp vlogs , he drops the hose in his pond and cleans his fish with it, they love it, thanks pete
Enjoyed the video Ian always guaranteed a laugh.Ive not used snow foam but I think once you have spraed it on the vehicle and then leave it to do its job for about 10 minutes then you just rinse it off with the power washer rather than useing a brush or sponge.Im sure Graham from Wizard in the Wild cleaned his CV 20 like that.
How good is that Ian ! , you don’t want snow foam coming out of your pipes at your age mate . I have a pair of slippers like them , I call them my all terrain slippers , comfy in all conditions. Your channel is always a good laugh and informative thanks at lot we both enjoy it. Helen and Martin.
Thanks Martin. All terrain slippers alright. Never off my feet these days. I had a right panic on trying to put that bloody liquid in the little pot. Pressure wash works well though. Thanks for the lovely feedback. Enjoy your adventures. 👍🏻
Thanks Ian for another great helpful video i was just working which item would be best for washing your dogs the Mud Daddy or the Worx Hydro shot ? thanks again for all yurvery helpful and funy videos 👌
Great vid I tried snow foam through the worxs pressure wash does not work with it properly you need a snow foam spray bottle it adds air to the mixture have look on you tube the polar seal is great keep the vids coming 👍
You are better of looking on u tube to see the polar range being used it’s a 3 stage system it’s better the me trying to explain I will try and find a link for you
great video. I know I'm a bit tight, but wouldn't a bucket of soapy water do the whole thing just as well ? im looking at collapsable fire-pit's for camping at the moment and would love your honest/funny review of these. One is a snow peak at about £100 and the other looks similar but is only £30 on amazon, can't remember the brand. xx
I have got a mesh fire pit thing but most campsites won’t let you use it. I will have a look at the snow peak one and see if it’s the same sort of thing. If it is I will set it up in the garden and do a review. A bucket of soapy water is always a good cheap option. Sometimes you can overthink a job. I do think this is a good bit of kit though with multiple uses. 👍🏻
They are really handy aren’t they - top tip though, don’t use it as a short cut for applying weed killer to your paths or drive (as I was in trouble for killing about a foot of grass with the over spray, apparently not good to do either) 😂 - Handy review - All the best, David 👍
I don’t have this particular pressure washer, but aren’t you supposed to connect the lance to the bottle attachment (ie the bottle fits between the lance and the handle part)? It’s usually the lance that creates the pressure spray that would improve the foaming?
That’s what I thought but there’s no way to connect it. I tried connecting the water to a hose pipe and a tap instead of the bucket but the water pressure was the same. I think it must be a limitation of the pressure washer. I’ve done an update showing the power of the pressure washer. 👍🏻
Hi Ian. Great vlog. Been searching hi and low for auto gimp but can’t find it anywhere. I’ve even looked on some more specialist sites but no joy 🤷♂️. Do you have any links
Whatever. You were already looking on those specialist sites anyway. I know that. I don’t have a link unfortunately. You’ll have to keep searching. Don’t forget to delete your browsing history as usual. 😂😂👍🏻
@@AdventuresInLexi yeah it was for you. I’m sorry it means more stuff to buy and just thought I would tell you to look out for the update if you’re interested in buying one. 👍🏻
Just used this with Wet&Forget in a 2litre bottle. Was easily able to spray my roof shingles. Ran hose water thru when finished to clean out the sprayer.
Might of been usefull if you could of shown people how powerful the actual water jet was, and also if it blasted the dirt off the car. The only bit you showed was the snow foam that you said was a waste of money. Pointless video really.
You have a good point. I try to keep the videos to a certain length so sometimes hard to get all the information in. It’s difficult to show how powerful a jet of water is on video. I will do a little update to that video showing the different power settings so hopefully you’ll be able to see. It’s a good point you make so I’ll do my best to give you a better update. It didn’t blast the dirt off the car. I washed it with the brush. It did wash the soap off but I wouldn’t say it was a blast. Still a really useful bit of kit. Thanks for the comment. Look out for the short updated video. I’ll do it tomorrow. 👍🏻
@@sdubvan that’s absolutely fine mate. You made a very valid point that I overlooked. All comments are welcome. It’s the only way to improve. I will upload a short update tomorrow showing the different settings and pressures. Thanks for the comment. It probably helped others too. 👍🏻

Yeah maybe that’s where I went wrong. I will try that next time. 👍🏻😂
You can use it without the lanc to wash the dogs 😊I told u so good bit of kit
It’s a good bit of kit alright. How would I use it without the lance. Just with the little bottle attached. 🤔

Thanks Ian for another great helpful video
i was just working which item would be best for washing your dogs the Mud Daddy or the Worx Hydro shot ?
thanks again for all yurvery helpful and funy videos 👌
I would go with the mud daddy for washing the dogs when I’m out in the car but when I’m away in the van I will definitely be trying the hydro shot.
Great vid I tried snow foam through the worxs pressure wash does not work with it properly you need a snow foam spray bottle it adds air to the mixture have look on you tube the polar seal is great keep the vids coming 👍
So do I need to buy the special snow foam bottle. I have seen that. It’s about £28. What is the polar seal. What’s that. Sorry if I’m being thick. 🤔
You are better of looking on u tube to see the polar range being used it’s a 3 stage system it’s better the me trying to explain I will try and find a link for you

Great bit of kit. Not cheap but worth it if you use it a lot. I’ll be using it a lot. 👍🏻
@@TravellingfromScratch Quick tip, coat the joints with Vaseline or similar to make disconnecting the lance etc easier.
@@geoffbell2906 I will thank you. 👍🏻

@@AdventuresInLexi yeah it was for you. I’m sorry it means more stuff to buy and just thought I would tell you to look out for the update if you’re interested in buying one. 👍🏻
btw, I use a 2 litre pop bottle screwed on, easier I think than the bucket.
I’ve seen the attachment for that in the kit. I will definitely be giving that a try. Thanks Michael. 👍🏻
Just used this with Wet&Forget in a 2litre bottle. Was easily able to spray my roof shingles. Ran hose water thru when finished to clean out the sprayer.
Not sure if mine came with a short and long lance
Hi Robert. A short lance would have been a great idea. I will have a look online and see if there is an option for a short lance. 👍🏻
What pressure setting did you use?
I’ve done an update showing the different settings. I did video it the first time but somehow I lost it in the edit. 🤔
