As above really, I washed my car Saturday and my Nilfisk jetwash was peeing water out of the handle:mad: When I opened the handle up there are 3 o-rings but none of them are split but was told they go hard and leak:confused: Anyway said o-rings are covered in some sort of sticky white grease (don't even say it) which I assume is for cold water applications. Any idea what grease is used?

Thanks for the helpage Nick;)

its usually a silicone based grease not sure if that helps :)

Christ Pauline your turning into a right little mechanic;)

Next she will be dishing out torque settings lol :)

I'd go with just White grease mate. Some of it has ptfe in it which you associate with plumbers tape :)

Nick, try looking at the molykote range mate. We use it on O'rings going into oil wells, so, it works lol

I can get you a more specific name tonight if you want :)

Cheers Matt a sensible reply;) Geof take note:p

I sorted myself out with some white grease from the plumbing centre by me only £4 a can;) Just wanted to do the job properly whenI replaced the o rings, it's only my jetwash handle but want it done right;)
