I have the last one and its very good. However, I have bought the car nozzle (much wider jet) and 90° nozzle which is another £45.

Whats the car nozel ?

Any link ?

So by last u mean the beastie monster

+1on any nilfisk.

I have the 2 nozzles simon has too and they are well worth having.

There's cheaper options for the lance on ebay or get the group buy autobrite one on detailing world

I've used ultimate snow foam, but it's not as good as valetpro ph neutral SF from cleanyourcar.com which isn't that much more.

The first 2 are part of the Nilfisk Compact range, which is supposedly the low end of their product range.

 

Then the last one is part of their excellence range, which is their mid range product line. I think the excellence range is meant to have more robust internals IIRC, it would also be a fair bit quieter than the first two due a different style motor and how the motor is mounted. You won't be disappointed with any of them though as the Nilfisk build quality is great. 

 

I have the E120 which may be another alternative to look at, its the first product in their mid range product line. https://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products/Product.asp?ID=7590

 

And the car nozzle mentioned earlier, don't have one of these myself though. https://www.cleanstore.co.uk/products/Product.asp?ID=3563

It was the k4 eco set up i was looking at

He offered it for £290

But sneaky argos do it for £250

Sooo many options :D

 

After recommendations here, I got some of this: http://www.cleanyourcar.co.uk/washing-and-drying/valet-pro-ph-neutral-snow-foam/prod_500.html

I found it excellent :happy:

 

Also Mainz do a PW and lance package, no reel but a good price, especially with the 10% discount code stickied on this forum ;)

I dont think that nosel will go in my arch :D

Usually its aim the jet and get wet to do my arches lol

On the list tho as may be handy :)

It's actually quite small. I can just get it in the arches of my e46 clubsport which is fairly low. A have to feed it up from the bottom but it just goes.

    As above, no problems with Cleanstore. Placed 2 orders with them and flawless service both times.

     

    Had a query with one of the products, sent them an email, received a reply within 5 mins!
