Nice setup. I actually have room for something like this. Please tell me about your products. That’s a much better foam job than my Griots one does.

Looks like a simplified solution thats nice and tidy. All those parts can be sourced through Obsessed garage which includes that new Active 2.0 pressure washer.

^ I tell you, neat and tidy is the way to go. These things make all the world of difference in washing a car. Makes starting and ending so much smoother. I still have some improvements. But recently took the hose reel off my 1122TST and got a proper wall mount and new hose and wand holder. Now don't have to lug the 1122 out of the storage spot to the driveway. Just turn stuff on and unwind the hose from the reel.

Next step is to plumb in my CR spotless.

I completely agree with this statement. Mine too is a pared down version of the Obsessed garage ultimate set-up. Using the Active 1.0 (rebranded in the Canadian Market). CR Spotless is on my radar as well lol..

Used my set-up to wash the 911 this weekend too.

yes, I ordered the Active 2.0 direct from the manufacturer due to availability and the wall mount solution from Obsessed garage. I’m VERY happy with the setup and the ease of use!

I went with the “middle” package they offer as I wanted the 100’ hose. I currently need to hook up water from my outdoor connection but plan to run a hard line from the sink in my garage in time.

as others have stated, to have the solution wall mounted and ready to go is a game changer. On top of that, the quality of the hose, reel, connections, etc make a big difference as well. I have not gone the “spot free” direction yet, but we will see.

Im happy to send other pics and closeups of how I mounted the real, etc if needed.

Looks great and nice looking 997, love the wheel combo with silver.

CR Spotless is a dream, been using it for I think 5 years or so. Resin lasts an entire season, there are variables for your water hardness and how many times you use it etc. I only use the CR for the rinse process. I assure you it eliminates the need to dry your car by any other means, leave it in the sun, whatever. Does a great job of removing minerals from water. I do use an air dryer sometimes if I want to start driving right away or use tire product and to blow out the engine bay etc on my aircooleds. No more towel drying.

I like the shelves for the buckets, I should get mine off the floor. Where are those shelves from?

The shelves are part of the Husky Track wall system from Home Depot. Amazing solution for me that i have all throughout the garage.

Over the last few weeks:

Water pump, low temp t-stat, coolant hoses, replaced “some” rusted exhaust bolts, 3rd radiator, new serpentine belt, oil change, used oil analysis, bore scope thru sump, spin on oil adapter.
