I’ve been using the MTM for six years now and has gone through a lot of car washes and still runs like a top

[@Englandsbestlover]

I have a Karcher K2 and the hose and Lance are diabolical. I upgraded to the a stubby gun and a proper hose both from in2detailing and I love it.

[@13pcbs]

Think one thing to bear in mind is hoses. If upgrading to a stubby, good review, use the cash saved to upgrade the standard hose to a longer wrapped/braided anti-kink which can be made up to suit machine fixings.

[@edrow7530]

I did similar and got the in2detailling one about 3 years ago. Loved it overall and found the swivel based very free flowing. Swapped for a MTM just because my hands as I’ve got older ache sometimes. It’s a totally different beast in terms of trigger ease. However found the swivel not easy so took it to pieces and rebuilt it with some PTFE tape and a bit of lube and now it fantastic I’d take the cheaper all day long if I was younger or a weekend warrior. It’s over 50% cheaper in price so bit of a no brainer tbh

[@paddynesbitt1538]

When I started doing my car on a regular basis, I bought a cheap quick release gun on Amazon that also came with the karcher hose adapter. All I needed was the swivel joint, as I'd already bought a new anti kink hose to replace the absolutely pathetic hose you get with the K2. Apart from the new hose, which I did spend a few quid on, it's all cheap and cheerful, been going about 2 years or so with no problems whatsoever and I've bought quite a few quick release accessories along the way. Also have the karcher adapter so I can still the dirt blaster attachment without using the karcher gun. It's all good. :-D

[@Audittr2108]

Very thorough comparison as we expect here. Same conclusions as I have too. The main difference is less hand fatigue and the satisfying connection you get with the MTM.

Great video again Heather, thank you. I sprayed my MTM with a quick squirt of WD40 Silicone spray, instantly it made it a lot smoother for attachments and 1 year later its still the same. Stainless steel is the way to go although costly.

Cheers Simon and thanks for the tip!

[@stevewilliams6191]

Great comparison Heather. I looked at the SGS35 for my Nilfisk, but couldn't justify the price. I also found availability of these guns a problem when I bought one last year. After a while searching, I eventually settled on the MTM Hydro Astra. Halfway in price between some of the budget guns and the SGS35. Excellent build quality and comfortable to use. Definitely wouldn't go back from using the quick release nozzles. So much easier.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Steve :) Totally agree, I really wasn't a fan of the standard Karcher gun at all

Nice honest vis Heather. It’s my living and I use good quality value for money guns and equipment. Yes I use expensive chemicals, known brands but to be honest that’s for the customers benefit. I detailed a friends car (free)with a hose, two buckets and some auto glym wash and a mid range sealant and to be fair he was more than happy and the car looked great. Buy what you can afford and afford to lose or break. Great work Heather.

Thanks Graham!

[@rodneyblenkin2384]

Hi Heather, as I only clean my own 2 cars I opted for the autobrite stubby gun ,priced at about £35 , had it for about 2yrs now and its performed really well .

[@petersmith7126]

The in2detaling is a no brainer choice if you're a weekend warrior like me, although i bought the Halfords one to replace the Karcher gun that came with my HD 4/8, but to be fair it looks more than capable to suit the needs of a full time valeter at a price thats not going to break the bank.

[@pantac4493]

I went with mtm after my stock gun broke. I seen reviews of cheaper guns blowing up on occasion. The price on the mtm was hard to stomach because my pressure washer cost the same price but I’m much happier and it’s working like new 1.5 years later. I would get it again if it would ever break

[@johngriffiths3394]

As a home hobbiest with a few cars to maintain I switched from the basic In2Detailing one to the MTM one mainly as I got for a STEAL in a Black Friday sale (£50!). It is a great deal tougher, feels like it will last forever, though the basic one does a perfectly fine job. A very good comparison vid anyway, nice work!

[@AutoCareHQ]

Cheers John, completely agree with that! That’s a cracking deal as well definitely worth it at that price!

[@Flyingtwiglet]

[@davidedge630]

I purchased an entry level gun for my K5 (might have been CYR or similar I honestly can’t remember). As good as it is I feel like it almost throttles the pressure washer because the output isn’t a powerful as the original karcher long gun. However it is much easier to use so have to take the rough with the smooth. Great video as always 👍🏻

I wound up buying the in2detailing deluxe gun for my K4 and I absolutely love it. Nice soft grip and decent build. It still has brass fittings etc, although seems far superior to the Karcher one. Think it was around £40/£45 and one of the best things I've bought along with a softer 5m hose.

Love this video, not seen a comparison of the stubby guns on any of the other major detailing channels on YT, also I’ve been thinking about getting one for a while but I still consider it a ‘nice to have’ against other products I’m prioritising currently. One slightly observation though, brass like-for-like has better corrosion resistance than stainless steel. Will last over 100 years, it will go green/blue colour after a while though which is the zinc reaction but it’s not corrosion. In this scenario they’re using stainless steel for cosmetic and weight purposes. Brass does cost less as well.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Cheers Phil and thanks for the info!

[@pantac4493]

I have a mix of brass and stainless quick connects , all the stainless looks and functions like new, not the same for the brass, they get harder to use with age

[@philgornall]

@@pantac4493 yeah it’s a fair point, it’s softer so no doubt constant reconnections warp the fitting over time. I was only pointing out that it certainly won’t corrode within the timescales of use. There’s a reason brass still used as the premium type of connection in bathrooms etc. but the point there is they’re rarely touched, as you’ve pointed out.

[@pantac4493]

@@philgornall yeah don’t intend to change out the brass quick connects anytime soon unless it becomes a bigger problem, the output of the gun is where I like having stainless the most because of changing out nozzles and accessories.

A thorough and fair review Heather of both guns.

[@joeblack7469]

[@L0n3W0lfBl4ck]

Pretty sure brass does not corrode. It is softer than SS so might mare or take damage with use. Brass is used for water and hydraulic fittings all the time because it doesn’t corrode. The corrosion you see on the old gun is probably from a plated washer or some between the brass and stainless that is starting to rust. Could be wrong though.

[@AutoCareHQ]

It doesn’t corrode in the same way as something like iron which rusts and loses integrity. It will just start to get those green tarnish spots over time when it oxidises or is exposed to water. It’s not a massive issue performance wise unless it really starts to gunk up the quick release collar, it just doesn’t look very nice!

[@richards-kk4fc]

Interesting comparison as I’ve wondered what the differences were with the more expensive guns. Although not 100% sure I believe the budget gun is a fairly generic one and available under a number of different names and at varying prices. For example: Euro Car Parts has it as the Autobrite Mini Lance Kit with a Karcher K connection. This similarly comes with a swivel connector and 5 interchangeable nozzles and is currently just £24.99. I put the money saved to upgrading to a 15m rubber hose. A huge improvement as I’m no longer constantly having to fight against the cheap Karcher one.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Richard :) Yep I think a lot of the budget ones look very similar from brand to brand, sometimes the plastic casing is slightly different but I reckon the internals on a lot of them are the same

[@richards-kk4fc]

Given both trigger guns have so few moving parts and the performance between them appears to be, at best, very marginal I couldn’t justify the much higher price of the MTM. I’m also unsure of any real world benefits of stainless steel over brass. For years I’ve had the same set of brass fittings on my garden hoses and outside taps (which are also brass) and while they may be tarnished none have corroded or ever caused problems. Or to put things another way I bought an Autobrite gun with the same 5 nozzles, 15m of heavy duty, anti-kink, braided rubber hose and 5l of BH Autofoam all for the same cost of an MTM SGS35.

Good comparison. Question: before buying a trigger/short sprayer, what's it like when you connect a foam to it that's full of soap? Too heavy?

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thanks Kim. When it's completely full I can hold it with one hand and it doesn't usually get achy as I can manage until it starts to dispense and gets lighter. It'll definitely be easier than using a longer lance though where you have to use two hands

[@tturkington4149]

Another great and honest video. Quick question, I would like to get one of these but find my pressure washer (a K7) is very powerful and I use it on one of its lower power setting via the power adjustment on the standard trigger. With these new ones I guess you lose that pressure control? Do you find that it's too powerful or is there still a way to control the pressure?

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! Unfortunately that’s the downside that there’s no adjustability on either of these two guns. I know some people who use a K7 with them both though without any trouble, probs just need to be a bit more careful with how close you hold it to the car

Hi Heather , I’m going to go for the MTM SGS35. I buy from in2detailing quite regularly. I use a Karcher K2 . Am I correct in saying that no one sells the quick release fitting along with the gun? Do I have to purchase that separately? . It’s the MJJC foam canon I’ll be using along with it. Always enjoy your videos. Great work. Just about to give mine the full works as Spring is almost upon us!

[@AutoCareHQ]

Hi David, the quick release gun will come with a 1/4" quick release adapter to fit onto the foam cannon but the MJJC is a little different as it has a different adapter which has compatible pressure washer fitting glued into it. It is possible to get a couple of spanners to snap the glue and release the Karcher fitting so you can screw the new 1/4" adapter in but it's not very easy to do it. The easier option is probs just to get a new adapter from from In2Detailing (www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/mjjc-foam-lance-cannon-pro-replacement-adaptor?ghref=3377%3A53788) with the 1/4 adapter already on it. Hope that makes sense!

Do you have a video about hoses?

[@Chris86-v3i]

Foookin hell mate, carscope does not ship nozzles abroad, only to UK, is there any nozzle brand with similar quality available in Europe?

[@quentinsjames]

Great video. Just one question: is your little finger now super strong after all that trigger testing? 🤣

[@AutoCareHQ]

Cheers Quentin! Haha I think it probably is 😂

What is the difference between SGS35 UK and SGS28 US? It looks like SGS35 UK has higher PSI rating (5075) compared to SGS28 US (4075) - SGS35 exclusive to UK? SGS35 UK (Black) has the same specs of SGS35 Aqualine (Blue). I am confused.

Got the MTM gun , doesn't flow any water, possibly sending back due to a fault, you had any issues? My cheap stubby works fine, not a good start for the MTM

[@Metal05]

You mention the guns, but what machine can you use these on?..

[@multiban]

How did you you fit the M22 Kränzle screw connection to the trigger gun? 🤔

[@wujolie]

Great video! I'm also wondering, what hose do you use? It looks very skinny and easy to handle. Does it tend to tangle?

[@AutoCareHQ]

Thank you! I used this one on my K4, miles better than the stock one: www.in2detailing.co.uk/products/karcher-k-series-c-clip-to-c-clip-reinforced-heavy-duty-rubber-replacement-hose?variant=32368465313871&ghref=3377%3A53788

Hey Heather. What wheels/mags do you have fitted? I have the same car and like the look of your wheels. Thx in advance.

[@AutoCareHQ]

Hi Raj, here's a link to the wheels. I've got the 17x7" ET40 4x100 ones in Hyper Black :) jr-wheels.com/category/jr28

I just got the Karcher K4 does the MTM fit it straight out of the box or do I need certain connectors/a different hose?

[@g4rymw110]

I’ve just upgraded to a stubby gun for use on my Karcher k4 , I find when using the autoglym snow foam bottle it’s comes out to powerful , hits the car spraying everywhere, is there any setting’s or tips to reduce this , would I be better just using a snow foam pump sprayer for this step instead
