It's been fun getting into car detailing starting with my Karcher 1800 pressure washer, but it was time for an upgrade. Just picked up the new Active 2.3, so check out the unboxing and first run review on an extremely dirty F80 M3.

In terms of reviewing, I don't get super technical.. it's more of an everyday practical use review. One complaint I've heard in other reviews is that this unit is a bit noisy; see (or hear) for yourself, but I disagree. Overall, I love this thing (but you should still watch the video).

A safety note worth mentioning (thanks to the guys in the comments) is to make sure you replace the orifice in your foam cannon if using an aftermarket cannon with the 1.45 orifice included with this kit.

Thanks for watching!
Jeremy
