Looks pretty useless to me, just a gimmick, spraying soap on makes me laugh

You need to get in there with the ordinary "wand" from every angle. What would be useful is if they made a nozzle that sprayed at 90 degrees to get the crap out behind the wheel arches etc.

Just found Stihl already do it

And what the Karcher gimmick thing does badly

Many of these attachments have universal fittings

Tell someone you love them today because life is short.
But shout it at them in German because life is also terrifying and confusing...

2010 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 CSW Stornoway Grey

In a not altogether unrelated aside, I used my Karcher on my locked D90 and while it works brilliantly it will set off the alarm when you start on the windows! At least it did on mine!
And damn its loud!

2008 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Tonga Green

Had one for my birthday. Basically its a patio washer on a trestle! Lances are also good ideas, better for mud.
The chassic cleaner is mainly for removing salt, not lumps of mud. So a blasting with a lance first, then the chassis cleaner to remove smaller residue is probably best. Land Rover Defenders. 67 years heritage, minimal appearance changes, still going strong all over the world. Not a fashion vehicle, but fashionable to own. Made for the needy, not the greedy.

Anybody tried using the drain cleaner to clean out the internals of the chassis prior to reproofing with cavity wax?

I have the drain cleaning attachment and am thinking of doing this
