        I acquired mine about 25 years ago as a lucky door prize at a NSW TLCC meeting in 1988 along with a 1L bottle of CT18 and I was converted since then. No brand name, says "Made in USA" on the top. I'm sure you can pick up something similar at Bunnings or Repco. This is my basic cleaning kit which consists of CT18, spray bottle, sponge and high pressure hose nozzle.

          Thanks Peter, I usually use a small pump sprayer thingy but this looks to be a better idea.

            CT18 disolved in a bucket of warm water and a soft cloth - old towels are fantastic (we have a hot water tap outside - very handy) Rinse with warm water too.

              CT18 is good stuff but it will strip your wax off as well........I use it sparingly because of this and use something like turtle wash/wax for regular washing every 2mths or so.........My prefered washing agent though is rain.....

                I reckon you could use a weed n feed bottle after the contents have been used on your lawn. Same principal, with hose attachment, so detergent gets diluted as you use it.

                  And you won't get any bindii growth either! Truck wash will strip wax so make sure you keep an eye on that. I used to use it before a clay bar and full polish. The snow foam does the trick now.

                    You could use CT20 being a wash and wax http://www.chemtech.net.au/CHEMTECH_...1032012%20.pdf

                          Apparently a Chemtech hose attached spray gun is available: http://www.chemtech.net.au/chemtech_accessories.html

                              What's the foam gun worth? Very similar to the snow foam lance which comes in fitments for Bernini, labor, marcher etc.
