Car accessories

Low Wilkinsons’ price makes this the cheapest on test.

There’s no mention of drying on the pack.

This small, skimpy rack works, but didn’t feel as robust as strap-mounted rivals.

The Kent is slightly cheaper than our winner.

With just a single variable lance, a brush and a large soap tank, the Clarke is aimed at car washers.

Power isn’t everything in car cleaning, and this washer does a reasonable job, but it’s not the easiest to use.

This got off to a poor start, with a water connector that failed to seal.

Neatly bridging the gap between smaller machines and the top two, this Sealey offers lots to like.

Part of the Screwfix line-up, this Titan is ideal if you’re on a budget.

If you have a big car, you’ll love this well built Nilfisk’s nine-metre hose.

The K2 is the best of the smaller washers

Ease of use sees Hozelock take another win.

At first glance, this Mountain Warehouse pack looks identical to the Draper, but it’s missing the rug, and costs £8 more.

Even if there are only two of you, we wouldn’t recommend this two-person set.
