That is one mighty power washer!! I assume you use that professional looking tool for something else primarily?

PS: Photo from last year or do you really already have Halloween decoration up?

Yes, the photo was from last year. A friend was asking me about Ceramic washing and Foam Cannons and I sent that to him this morning.

The Power Washer is a SunJoe and I can use it on other stuff, but really I only got it for the car. $150 on Amazon plus a $20 Foam Cannon and then the soap concentrate. That's all I use for washes.

That's a good price indeed. I got a small handheld, 1700PSI power washer with soap attachment from Lowes for $99 just for the car to do the same. Not as powerful as what you have but small enough that it fits in my shelf when not used.

I think that SunJoe is 2200PSI or 2300PSI or something. I read a thread here and that was highly recommended. Home Depot had them but about $25 more than Amazon.

Yeah, even with my 1700PSI and correct nozzle I could take the paint off ....easily. But either way, having it on wheels is a nice touch and sure has tons of options for other use like driveway cleaning....

Yeah. I don't use the 0% paint stripper nozzle. Mine came with 0%, 15%, 25% and 40% nozzles. I use the 25 or 40 and not the others. That would definitely damage the car.

Yep. Mine came with 3 attachment: wide angle nozzle used for car washing or similar lower pressure jobs, turbo nozzle - narrow cone, rotating pattern that can be used to strip paints or other tuff jobs or the soap dispenser attachment with a spray nozzle. My only complaint - the soap dispenser empties that soap can pretty fast, i.e. have to dilute it a lot and refill.

Don't use a built in reservoir. I attach one of these and put in about 2-3oz of concentrate, fill the rest with water, and attach it and it does the whole car with some to spare.

Yeah, this similar to how mine is - the soap can/reservoir also has a quick attach (1/4 turn) - so, no big deal. It sure saves a lot if time to have a power washer on hand. I still try to figure out if I can find a special wheel cleaner that I can spray on and does not require wiping to get the inner barrel clean. My new wheels have more of a mesh pattern and not as easy to get behind as my exclusive wheels. I use P+S Double Black Brake Buster for the wheels. It gets it off w/o any abrasive effects (like if you would use store Chrome Wheel cleaner that literally eats into your aluminum) but still requires some scrubbing and not just spray and power wash.

I spray on this Sonax wheel cleaner. Leave it 2 minutes and then power wash it off. It turns purple and drips down. I rarely if ever have to take a brush to the wheel to help.

I also bought the large refill. I think the refill was $80.

Glad to see the clearance with FAL up - pretty good height! I go to NYC often as well and was debating if it was necessary. Looking at how high it goes up, this will clear everything the city can throw at it.
