Difference between karcher k2 And k2 car?

AxG · Post by **AxG** » Tue May 12, 2015 7:18 pm

Are there any performance differences between them or Is the only difference the car kit with the snow foam bottle and brush ?

I'm buying a better foam lance seperatley anyway so I'm not bothered about those.

The pressure washers themselves do have differences in appearance, a longer handle and a thicker base, is this just for ease of use ?

Not sure tbh.
the karcher snowfoam lance bottle is useless so don't even bother with that. And the brush isnt very soft so I wouldn't want to be touching wheels or paint with it. So both the items it comes with imo are useless.

If there is no difference between the unit itself then buy the cheaper one without the extra kit.

Yeah that's what I'm asking, It has a slightly different appearance but I think that's just the body not the performance.

Would you recommend a lance like this ?

Have you tried looking on karcher website under specifications Of each one?

I have an autobrite lance and it does the job well.
That looks similar just not as long. There is a few that are sold by different company's but in fact are all the same.
I remember reading it on detailing world . I'll have a look to find out.

A quick eBay search comes up with loads of similar ones for around £25

They are more than likely the same thing like I said. Or made by the same company just slight differences.

Ok so research leads me to believe the only difference between k2 compact and k2 car is the kit and the car one has wheels and a long handle.

Although the k2 premium has a detergent tank built in, should I buy this?

What would be better the k2 with aftermarket foam lance or the standard k2 premium with detergent tank ?

I have a k2 that came with loads of kit . car and outside garden kit. I don't use any of it . Mine has the detergent tank and I don't use it.

I would say k2 with aftermarket foam lance.
how much is the one your looking at?

If I get the detergent tank do you just put the detergent in there instead of the bottle and it's exactly the same ?

Edit, looked on a detailing forum and it turns out the detergent tank is a waste of time.
Not very thick foam an uses a lot.

It won't be nothing like a dedicated foam lance. so would be a waste of time.
TBH I rarely snowfoam any more as I cba.
