grant8064 219 Posted February 9, 2021 Struggling for valeters at the moment so going to have to resort to doing seats ourselves. Any recommendations guys? Screwfix/Amazon have machines from £40 - £800 and know nothing about them. Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Snap I’ve dusted off my old Titan that I see Screwfix are still selling, now £44.99. It’s a no frills wet or dry pick-up machine - no water feed (so you need a bucket & brush) or fancy transparent nozzles but if it’s just a temporary stopgap machine you want they are unbreakable & suck very well . I bought it 5 years ago for builders muck when doing up a house & can’t break the bloody thing! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’ve had a sharp reminder just how much value for money the valeter offers. What a miserable f***ing job, imagine doing it day in, day out. They deserve a medal.
