Have you ever considered a snowfoam attachment for your pressure washer?
In the long run, a snowfoam attachment would work out cheaper than that flash system.

The actual washer is not up too much but must admitt the ionised water catridges were excellent, picked up a few off them when Instore / poundies were clearing these things out.
as suggested earlier thou power washer with foam gun is 100 times better, occasionally finish the car off with the ionised water from the flash system but would never actually wash the car with the flash gun itself, there is not enough power in it to even get the worst off the cr&p off the car.

Get a gilmour foam gun if you don't want to mess about with a pressure washer. And also get a water butt. The rain water won't leave as many drying marks when rinsing like tap water.

I used the foam on my car which had been waxed, it had a strange effect on the wax, the ionised water was fantastic though.
