    Got rid of my Overpriced Karcher PW and bought a Cheap Ryobi & Upgraded it... way better setup!!

    Right now just using the hose and wand that came with it. I plan to upgrade along the lines of what Zach was recommending. Have only used the unit a couple of times so far but I really like it and am impressed by the power it has. My old gas Karcher is rated at 1750psi and this Ryobi will clean...

    Thanks Hammer77 for the sale info. I bought mine on 3-15 at regular price since I had been watching for a sale for several weeks and finally gave up. Home Depot will honor sale price within 30 days of purchase so I just made a quick run in there and got a $40 refund. Without your post I most...

    Bought this Ryobi recently and have used it 2 or 3 times, haven't done the improved setup yet but will. Amazing machine for the money, much more powerful than my old 1750psi gas Karcher. My question relates to pump protector - manual say pump lubricated for life but then recommends using pump...

    I think I might kill myself if I don't replace my step stool with something better.

I use it to work on top of car, might be a little low for truck or SUV depending on your height. Also very handy to sit on when working on side panels, etc. It is about...

    Coatings - Top 3 and easy to apply (first timer) ??

    I do have another question - relates to the Mckee coating kit. The wash product that comes with the kit contains wax. Coatings require wax and oil free surface. Seems counterproductive to use a wash that puts something on the surface that can't be there for the coating to be most effective...

    Coatings - Top 3 and easy to apply (first timer) ??

    Thanks again for your input - I will definitely feel good about my choice to go with McKees. Can't wait for the new car to arrive - about another 30 days I'm told - but weather will be getting better by then so that's a plus.

    UPDATE PLEASE!! Thought about starting a new thread but, basically, have the same question. I am taking delivery soon on a new white MB GLC 300 and I would like to start things off with a coating. I am a hobbyist detailer only but have confidence in my ability. I have never applied a...
