FAQ's
1. How is Car Cube® different from most pressure washers?
Car Cube® is portable – the water comes with you wherever you want to wash. No mains power cord is required. No garden hose is required. It is more water efficient using just 1.5L/ minute and less that 20L to wash an average vehicle.
2. What are people saying about Car Cube®
Dirt bikes need cleaning like babies need feeding, but the current water restrictions mean that it’s often a feckless task to keep the ones you really love spotless.
The Car Cube delivers a cool solution to the problem by letting you take tank water out with you to a ride-site. Simplistic to use, it’s as easy as plug-in and go. The unit’s reservoir is just big enough to wash a bike completely and the pressure forceful enough to penetrate thick lumps of earth. Also, as the dirt is still fresh, it comes off so much easier than after the bike’s home, cooled and the muck has hardened. It’s the quickest, easiest and cheapest solution I’ve seen.
