      I couldn't let her go anywhere even remotely dirty.

        Is this your car or one of your neighbor's?

        I really like Skoda Superb Combi the first time I laid my eyes on it in a magazine way back in 2008 I think. Not sure why they wrote about that car given the marque wasn't (and still isn't) available here, but it kickstarted my preference of wagon body style compared with sedan.

          That is really clean. I'm jealous, I haven't been able to really clean our truck in years because life. First things I'm getting when we have a garage is a shop vac and (hopefully) a power washer

                  A good wet'dry vacuum and a good pressure washer make life so much easier.

                      @svend I really need to get a pressure washer. I have a nice big driveway, so there is no reason I shouldn't be washing at home rather than going to the car wash. As I recall, you swear by your Kรคrcher equipment. Do you have any experience with the K1 or K2? (Forgive me, I can't tell what model you have pictured there.) The price on those is really good, especially right now with Cyber Week prices. I know I want to make sure I can use a foam lance, but I'm not sure there is one available for the K1.

                          @svend Haven't heard of that brand, thank you! When I was a Tow Truck Driver my boss had a shop vac and pressure washer, and part of our duties was to keep the trucks absolutely clean, which was a massive departure from how my Dad treated(and still treats) his cars. I learned how to properly clean and appreciate a clean vehicle, then I got my current job and have only been able to do the occasional drive-through wash.

                          Those also have pretty reasonable prices, so I'll probably pick one up!

                            My first pressure washer was a Karcher K2. I currently have a K2 as a spare but the one pictured is my new K5 Compact.
                            Your better off with a K3 upwards, K2s have a plastic water pump which is it's weak point, K3s up have metal pumps and have a higher pressure.
                            You can't go wrong with a K3 or higher.
                            The current Karchers all use K Series fittings.

                            The PA snow foam lance is pretty standard and you simply get the adaptor suitable for your machine.

                              Karcher is a German compnay and well known for durability and cost effectiveness.
                              I swear by Karcher products. The vacuums pictured are Karcher WD4 and WD2.200. Both are wet'dry vacuums, easy to maintain and considerably powerful for their size.
                              Fantastic for use around the house also.
                              Though the WD4 is bigger it has the same power of the smaller WD2.200, simply a larger drum for water and debris collection.

                                    @svend Big fan of the second generation design! I want to have one of them here ๐Ÿ˜ข Piglet's blue-green (turqoise?) color is extremely gorgeous. Sandy's color is also beautiful, way better than other's gray color.

                                    Why do you have 3 cars that โ€“ for me โ€“ are almost the same?

                                      Lol. No it was the silver one first, then Piglet replaced it and then Sandy then replaced Piglet.

                                      Piglet was Petrol Blue Metallic, and
                                      Sandy is Champagne Silver Metallic.
                                      Sandy was meant to be red metallic but the lead time was eight months for it to be built, to delivery.

                                      Sandy was a cancelled order that we picked up, she was delivered in less than three months.
