    Power washers?

    One last tip: I like to hang the pressure washer hose and gun on the wall inside the garage. It's much easier to move the pressure washer around this way. This also prevents the hose from accidentally touching my dirty garage floor lol.

    Power washers?

    I bought a Troy Bilt 2500 PSI 2.3GPM pressure washer about 5 years ago at Lowes for $300. The pump lasted maybe 6 months with light use (around 10-15 hours total). I think the pump was just very low quality so it didn't last. Anyways, I ended up buying a brand new pump for $200 from...

    My first order came today!

    Auto Geek customer service is top notch. I accidentally chose the wrong 5" cutting pad (I wanted to exchange foam for microfiber). Auto Geek promptly fixed my order and shipped right away without any hassle. They even included 2 free samples. Thanks Auto Geek!

    DIY Pad Washer

    I bought a fancy bucket at lowes, but cracked the bottom shoving the pvc pipe to the bottom lol. Ended up sanding all 4 corners of the pvc pipe so it would fit. I replaced the HD bucket handle with the good one.

    DIY Pad Washer

    Here's my pad washer. I'm left handed so I have my wingnut on the right side. Thanks for posting this guide. I had trouble with the Genova CPVC 3/4" male adapter because it was too big for the spring (23/32" x 3-1/2"). I bought qty 4 -- 3/4" MPT plug instead which works great. DURA 3/4 in...

    Hi everyone from PA

    I've been browsing the autogeekonline forums for about a week now. Just now registered :P I have never done any detailing before. I own a 2006 silver metallic Honda Accord with 190,000 miles.
