of course you can you can get a machine on flee bay for that .

it will do a reasonable job , all this stuff you need 250 BAR , 15ltr per minute .

etc ect . it will take you longer and with the right chemical and abrasive you can achieve the same result.

tbh 3500 +ps1 and high flow on any material = damage check out marshalls site especailly if using turbo nosell

Water

No

Kev, a man of few words ( I wish ;))

But he's right. if we were on DIY gardening site and someone asked this question you might say yes but as we are on a forum of professionals cleaners we must assume he wants to do a professional job so £350 won't buy the right kit....... (Now we get someone saying he bought a £3k machine on EBay for £20 so you can get a machine for that budget) but let's try and live in realityland.

good, cheap machines on EBay are like rocking horse poo
