😎I think you may have been born to produce video tutorials sir. Great advice delivered in a no nonsense manner and overall extremely watchable. When I opened the box for my new Karcher K5 I was quite annoyed at the fact that "some assembly was required" and a glance at the instructions had me headed straight for the internet to see if there were any videos showing step by step, dreading the experience as so many videos are so hard to watch. Imagine my surprise and pleasure when I came across the three wonderful videos you produced on how to assemble and use the K5 properly. One would assume you work for the BBC on a professional production, so informative yet entertaining and done at a pace that was just perfect to follow, not rushed through or moving at a snails pace and frustrating me into skipping anything to get to the point. In addition to the task I bought the K5 for, I am now itching to try it out on my car and driveway too. Thankyou so much Peter.

I tell you what Peter, its about time you got "discovered" by a proper TV company because your presenting style is absolutely superb. Quintessentially English with proper manners :-) Keep it up young man, I'll probably end up buying whatever it is you're demonstrating!!

Clear, concise and entertaining! Loved this video, explained everything simply without the usual boisterous flair of other videos, great stuff!!

It's hard to put into words how much I enjoy your approach to your channel and how useful it is for so many of us. I hope you never feel bad about people not getting the exact wood working video or whatever they where expecting. Your stuff is always useful to so many Peter, keep it up and thanks for the video. As mentioned in your previous K5 video, I do have that machine and, as it happens, I have a horrifyingly dirty car as well - so this is a very nice reminder to deal with that, using said machine. Thanks!

You, sir, are an absolute delight. Just got this pressure washer, and I've been watching your videos to get familiar with it. Thank you so much for your time and effort here

Personally I love this video. To all the haters, Peter is a real person, he has interests other than woodworking, it makes his other videos more relatable. Maybe i'm not the ideal audience, but I haven't watched a New Brit video in a while, then this popped up on my suggestions, i had to see what Peter was up to.

Hi Peter, just to say I thoroughly enjoy your videos and look forward to each new one. I found the one about weatherproofing garage doors very useful as I was facing a similar situation. Thanks for what you do, long may you enjoy making them.

Marvellous! Short and sweet with more information than most I’ve watched - particularly as regards the parking sensors.

Really informative and humorous as well - the grandkids leaving the windows open joke sounds experiential

Well explain. We need that kind of reviews/explanation which is honest and down to earth. Thank you so much.

Thanks for the video. Great tip on the parking sensors and camera!

Excellent video. Clearly explained and demonstrated. Thank you.

This was a really refreshing video! No 'hey guys how y'all doing', not a 'dude' in sight! Very clear and concise.

Hi Peter, just bought a Karcher k5 pressure washer. Looking forward to cleaning my slabs with the special circular washing supplied with my karcher. Used to own a karcher, as yourself ended gifting it to my daughter as we had a small pressure washer gifted to us. Big mistake, or not as bought the K5 with the attachment. It took me over an hour to wash 8 slabs with the small one, so looking forward to using the karcher to finish the patio and footpath. Thankyou for your instructions to put it together and instructions cleaning slabs. Very very clear and discriptive. Good job as we didnt receive instructions or guarantee with our new pressure washer. Will contact Karcher. Great video for cleaning the car.

Hi Peter, just wanted to say thank you for making this video, it's always great to see an out of the ordinary video from you. Having such an inventive mind it's interesting to see your approach to these kind of tasks, I always learn something new and makes me feel like I need to slow down, take my time and think about the task in hand a little more. If these other "moaners" can't understand that they simply need to skip it, the thumbnail and title is a bit of a give away as you say! Keep it up Peter, Nick.

I love your videos, Peter! Really appreciate it.

This was so much fun to watch and very informative too. Thank you.

Hi Peter a nice clean car. I always watch your videos because i always learn something new. Thanks.

Always so incredibly clear.

Hi Peter, thanks for the down to earth honest video. Really good. Keep up the good work. Subscribed.

Thank you sir, buying k5 after watching your review!

Protect this man at all costs

So helpful, thank you. I’ve just bought a Karcher, but only used it on the paving so far. I couldn’t get the top off the paving cleaner either! I think I’m older than you, so that must be it! I’ve got the foam, but clearly need a brush too - thanks for the tip!

As always, an informative video. I use a similar method for my car to minimise the strain on my arthritic wrists and fingers - a legacy of a career as a marine biologist with my hands forever in cold seawater. I also live in area with exceptional hard water (high calcium carbonate content), so even brushing off with clean tap water still leaves stubborn water marks, especially on glass. In the past I have had to resort to polishing these out, negating most of the benefits of pressure washing. However, a few months ago I came across a very useful tip on Graeme Pullen’s TA fishing channel, describing his lockdown distraction activities, where he finished of washing his car by rinsing it with clean rainwater from a watering can and just giving the windows a wipe with a chamois leather. I have since tested this approach and found it to work well, though I would add an important caveat, i.e. only take water from the top of the rainwater butt or tank so as to avoid the sludge in the bottom which may be gritty, particularly if the water is collected from a modern tiled roof

Thank you for this, made my day seeing how much you enjoy this! I'll use this advice in the future thank you :)

Wonderful as usual, I know who to come and see when I need my Land Rover cleaned 😂😂😂

Marvellous. I could never get my shampoo to dispense until I saw this video. I did not know about pulling off the cap.

Great job with a great machine

Great video, cheers matey

Great video, has helped me heaps 🙌

Nicely done and very informative. Thank you sir

NBW100 - brilliant!

Very informative many thanks for sharing this videos

🤔Also took me quite some time to figure out the top of the 3-in-one bottle. Thank you for the video.

Thank you

Quick tip if you snowfoam first when the car is dry the foam will stick to the dirt if you snowfoam when it’s wet it will just run off on top of the water. The karcher k5 is a great jet wash

Bravo

Hi The only problem i have with this video is when you say put high pressure on the car this can actually take paint off if its high Pressure done this once and it tookl of the lacquer on the car but overall your video is very informative

Ow nice you have upped your gear! To bad these models cost a fortune here :(

Great video Peter...I might just buy the car shampoo for cleaning the MotorHome...not sure i will ever get out in it again

this karcher is very good Peter, complete machine for all utilities, and you have great taste, this BMW x3 is beautiful, wonderful car!🇩🇪

Thank you for this very helpful video. I have just bought a K5. I was a little unsure from your video the difference between using the bottle of shampoo turned upside down on the machine and using the dispenser bottle on the end of the gun? Would you mind clarifying the difference in usage? Many thanks, Stuart.

As a car detailer you have alot to improve on, if that car was black you'd soon throw that brush away and never go anywhere near paint with it again. Firstly you should always start with wheels as you did, then apply snow foam to a dry car for the soap to soften and lift the dirt with lubrication then you pressure wash it all off and then only then you go in with a contact wash with a good quality mitt NOT a brush that will absolutely maul your paint. You should always aim to remove as much dirt as possible before you contact wash reason being is you're dragging the dirt across your paint, hence why you snow foam first then pressure wash your car effectively giving you as clean a surface as possible to make contact with when going in with a mitt!

Great video Peter. I notice the handle of the karcher is up. How do you lower the handle once you've finished with the pressure washer. I can't seem to lower mine.

Dear Sir, First of all, I am happy to see your videos and thankful to you for making such knowledgeable video. Could you please answer me... About difference between Karcher K4 Power Control and K4 Premium Control. Please do help! It's my humble request to you. I am in very need of Karcher K4 OR K5. What is the main difference between Karcher K4 OR K5. Kind Regards, Basavaraj from India. 🙏

Love your videos on woodworking but don't see the connection to this other stuff. Am ordering a part system. Being in the US it took me a while to decide if I wanted to go 20mm or 3/4" dog holes. Having taught the metric measuring system to many US companies when it was starting to grow in the 70's and 80's I decided to go with the 20mm holes and embrace the metric system for my work.

I do say that if ANY manufacturer wants to get the highest sales; they NEED for their salesmen to study this video to the "nth" degree; and USE it. Because I believe there is no other method that is as good as what "our" Mr Peter Parfitt exudes. Oh indeed yes. May he and his. be blessed always.

nice quick vid. Did you leave the car to dry on its own and if so how did you not get any hard water marks? Otherwise how did you dry it?

Hello Peter, What do you think of that rotating brush that you use on this video? I was about to get one from Amazon, but the reviews are terrible.

I'm afraid I'm with the others on not using brushes anywhere near a car. Your paint will have swirl marks all over it. But what really intrigued me was the advice not to point the washer at parking sensors. Surely (on an autobahn, obviously) a car with a high top speed traveling in excess of 150mph (or higher) will suffer significantly more pressure on the sensors than the Karcher will deliver? And in the rain it will be high-pressure water hitting the car too at those speeds.

What is the soup nuzzle you're using with the Karcher gun. Can you please share a link?

Hey Peter, what happened to the block paving video?

Hello, wanted to ask about brush. I decided to buy one after your advice wb150 and I also visit the store to touch the brushes and check if they are not so rough. There was the same brushes that you use in this video. And it seemed for me like they are a little too rough for a car paint, or it is okay?

Are you using setting 2 med pressure when washing the car or high?

Hi, what pressure are you using when you have the brushes attached and also the foam?

If my car had not been washed and looked like that after one year it’d go another year before being considered for a wash, but then I live in Australia where water is a premium. Interesting series

Be prepared for an avalanche of comments from The car cleaning perfectionists about you using that brush on your paint work 😂

I'll pop mine round for a quick once over if your up for it ?, looks fun .

I now Know why the car cleaning guru doesn't do woodworking videos.

I get that this is sponsored by karcher but I'd imagine Peter would be more accustomed to a kranzle quality

A brush is just going to damage the paint... Get a wash mitt and a bucket and just go over the car with it after you've foamed it.

watch a few car detailing videos and put those brushes in the bin. for the amount of damage you are potentially doing to your clearcoat, your best off leaving the dirt on.

Just get a bucket & sponge!

If your car was full of crap on the roof you'd have to start from the top to the bottom. Otherwise all the dust and sand and whatever it is on the roof will end up all over the whole car anyway. You starting up from the bottom then up would result in you having to wash again.

Im 65 and found it a bit patronising, so i assume you've aimed it at older folks that rarely wash their own cars. So sorry, but its buckets and sheepskin mitt after the snow foam, then dry off. Nice, clear and precise though.👍

you'll scratch your paint using a brush straight on the paint

I love your woodworking videos, but please don’t brush your BMW. 🙏

Never use a brush on your car paint….only lightly use a care mitten-you’re scraping the paint.

Funny - the Eastern Europeans have been cleaning my car with pressure washers for years and the cameras haven’t suffered.

Good video but please keep this brushes away from the paint work! Will scratch & damage the lacquer

Bad quality. Mine stopped working after few years. With little use. I have cared for it all the right ways. Very expensive, happy in the beginning, angry and sad now.

Oh dear.....

Apart from acting as a sales demonstrator what was the point ?

I can't understand. So if you think you have good advices for your next apple pie, or lawm mowing, this will end up in a video? I watched a lot of your woodworking videos, and liked it, learnt a lot. I'm sorry to tell, but with videos like this, you lower the overall quality of your woodworking series. I wouldn't trust a woodworking video from a car washer specialist. So, I don't see the point. Don't take it personally, but you should really stick to what you master, high quality woodworking.

My dude; you have too much time on your hands

Never use a pressure washer! Sponge and clean water.

Bad fall of style. What does washing your car have to do with woodworking?

Totally pointless I’m not wasting 8 mins of my life with this.....
