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?

the guy with 69 total posts would say that.

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

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

and your point?

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.

How true!!!!!!!

But it is fun! (And often beneficial in more ways than one. )

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.
