Let us know how it works out!

Awesome. Thanks guys! Yeah, I wouldn't expect it to perform as well as a dedicated wheel cleaner for heavily soiled wheels. However, for regularly maintained wheels, I'll either use the wash soap or this. I like that I can spray the tire, wheel, and wheel well and get at it. Easy enough.

Oh wow. Frankly, I didn't even realize there were two different ones. My local Lowes had the 3100psi in stock. I bought online and just picked it up, actually. I like the blue hawk because it looks and feels exactly like the Simpson, only with the proper specifications. While it is only 30', I...

Awesome!! I picked up a new Greenworks 1600psi for $70. I getting the 30' blue hawk 1/4" hose tomorrow. 1/4" is the way to go! How do you like the Apache hose?

I don't think I saw any mention of using DP APC on wheels. I know a lot of people use various APCs for wheels. Any thoughts? Safe on wheels at 4:1?

My BL-5000 is scheduled to arrive in about 4 days! I can't wait!!

How do you use the pacs to clean the pads? Drop the pac in a bucket of water and let it all soak?

The SunJoe gave me issues, so I took it back. Even with using the proper metal adapter, it still leaked. I tried Teflon tape, pipe dope, and both together. Leaked. I didn't feel like messing with it. I never had to screw around with the Greenworks or the Ryobi, so back to the store it went.

I will say that if you didn't know any difference and your machine is working well with the hose, then I'd stick with it. I probably would never have known had I used this hose from the very start. After all, I would not have had anything to compare it to. I will likely get a 30' 1/4" from...

Now this is interesting. I get what you're saying as I have replaced rubber brake lines with braided ss ones. You're right - you get a much firmer pedal. Ok, so my plan now is to buy the 30' 1/4" diameter hose that is the same material as the Simpson 50' I was using. This will allow me to...

Most, if not all electrics have 1/4" hoses. The most common size of pressure washer hose, as you shop for 50' hoses, is 3/8". Gas pressure washers pretty much all use 3/8". 5/16" is only a 16th of an inch larger than the standard hose. I would never expect it to make this much of a difference...

So get this - In this thread, we discussed a longer hose for the SunJoe SPX3000. I gave my opinion of a hose I recently bought, the Simpson 50' 5/16" (inside) diameter hose. It's a great hose. It doesn't kink, it isn't heavy, and it got great reviews. Some others here have even purchased it...

For the most part, I agree with the other posters about using car wash soap. I do this most of the time, but my wheels also don't get very dirty. I haven't tried a coat in yet, but I will. As for specific cleaners, I have experience with Sonax and Chemical Guys Diablo. I'm not paying the price...

Sunjoe SPX3000 is currently on sale at HD and Amazon for $139.

Atlanta here!

Awesome. I should have all of mine up and running this weekend. Oh, be sure to wrap some Teflon tape on the little brass pipe that is your short wand. I think you can see it in my photos. You shouldn't have to manhandle it since it is pipe thread, but Teflon tape helps it tighten more easily so...

David, did you get it all up and running? My SPX3000 just arrived. Our setups are likely exactly the same!

Of course, I get all of this, too. I also live in a townhome community and I'm pretty sure I'm the ONLY person that washes without going to the "car wash." People walking by usually say, "is mine next?" or "didn't you just do this a few days ago?" Yes, yes I did. It also rained since then and...

Mine arrives Tuesday or Wednesday. Can't wait!

The SunJoe spx3000 is on sale again at Home Depot for $159.20 through 5/24/2015. I just ordered mine.
