Hi,
Many thanks Gary for both replies. I do have the patio cleaner attachment; this is the hooded one with the spinning bar and two jets inside; I've not tried it yet because I'm still enthralled with the sheer power of the lance. There is also another nozzle included which looks to have a moving nozzle but I'll try this out later. There is also a dispensing bottle for detergents. This Nilfisk is an absolute bargain at the price I paid for it.
Thanks also Gary for your thoughts regarding cleaning the roof. As we live in a bungalow with a shallow roof pitch (12.5 degrees) I can hopefully use the full power of the lance but blast downhill and blow all the dirt onto the patio and path at the rear of the bungalow then it should be easy to blast it into the garden out of the way. I'll add before and after pictures. This of course assuming the sun comes out again for long enough as it's raining and miserable again this morning.
I keep it away from any seals such as putty used for glazing and won't blast into door gaps etc or I might end up with a new pattern on the walls and floors inside the bungalow. I do agree that a lot of caution is needed in using one of these pressure washers; I believe if it was applied directly and close up to the car given it's power it could easily damage body panels.
I'm with David regarding the use of the pressure washer; it is highly addictive and I keep popping out to use it whenever possible. Yesterday I blasted the low stone garden wall to the front of the bungalow then went on to blast the moss from the tarmac path; it was only after putting everything away that I noticed the wall was now covered in all the dirt blasted from the path; what a good excuse to do it all over again.
Kind regards, Col.
