Brian you can dry off your car with beer in hand, just add use the air jet handle on your small compressor --- sip along as you blow dry your sweetheart. Hmm ......why does that almost sound wrong?

Accidental for sure, but your powers of observation give me an idea you are a threat on a road course or autocross.

$129 pressure washer, $600 in accessories :shock:

The hose reel makes life so much easier I wonder why I waited so long, wrestling with a loose hose to roll it up.

His point is simple, Norville is a " Clean Cut " Midwestern kid ! I need to show this picture to my wife and she will see I am not the only one who starts small and then expands till things are near perfection.

Norville, you win the " Best Home Powerwash " system on the Carpoke Forum --------until someone else goes for the esteem of Mr. Clean.

I am impressed, now how about some pictures of your spotless Porsche!

It is interesting how easy it is to fall into a rabbit hole on stuff.

I used to get a lot of local criticism about spending hours making things convenient just to save minutes later. That's calmed down a lot lately, or maybe I'm just growing deaf to it. That hose reel with the high-pressure swivel is interesting. The super-flexible hoses described in the videos are a lot nicer than the more rigid hoses I've got now. One can see how a foam cannon can easily make a normal slope quite slippery.

For car washing, volume (gallons per minute or Gpm) is key. More water allows you to evacuate the suds more completely and promotes the sheeting effect.
I use an Active pressure washer. 2.0 Gpm and the psi with my foam cannon tip is about 1450 psi if I recall. Love the setup.

I use the MTM pressure nozzle gun as well. Lots of suds with my Carpro Reset shampoo.
