The Pressure Washer Direct website may also help you with your decision.

Agree with swanicyouth. The various Karcher machines are ones to consider. I've connected a foam cannon to it. This is if you are not using the machine on more constant basis. If you get more side jobs then maybe something more robust might be in order.

There are so many factors in making a pressure washer decision. I personally have a Karcher-X electric, which is a good brand. My best advice is to google the question and read from as many websites as possible. That's how I made mine.

Yes. That's the thread I was talking about in my previous post.

Agreed. There was a thread a couple of years back mentioning the need to shake the bottle for a good while to mix it properly. Someone also posted a picture showing him immersing the bottle in hot water prior to shaking to help with the process.

Agree with your assessment of BMW clearcoats. Hard as a rock and difficult to correct. Nice job. Sent from my Nexus 7 using AG Online

The Rupes white pad is similar to a Lake Country blue or red pad. Rupes pads go blue-green-yellow-white in order of coarse to gentle.

I use my Rupes 15 for paint correction and my GG6 for applying sealants and waxes. But that's just me trying to get good use out of both.

The Scotch blue tape also comes in a 60day (low adhesive) variety, which is what I use. Home Depot carries it.

This thread brings me back to the late 60's when I was a teen :cry:

I have a Rupes 15 and I use both Rupes and 5.5" LC flat pads on it (with the appropriate backing plate). Also use the standard array of Menzerna and Wolfgang products for polishing with the machine. Sent from my Nexus 7 using AG Online

Thanks Blue Beast, et al, for the excellent info. I just put together the shutoff valve system you showed. It's definitely solid, but heavy! Would hate to have it slip out of my wet hands onto the wife's car! Also purchased the Eley disconnects, and just for comparison something called the...

Menzerna sealant is a good product. If you are looking for a durable wax for over it you might want to try Collinite 476. I'm an almost Floridian. A fly down to New Port Richey a few times a year to visit my parents and detail my father's Buick (what else). 😯 Sent from my Nexus 7 using AG Online

I use aquapel on my cars and I find it to be an excellent product. I even use it on a picture window on house once a year. Its fairly easy to use if you follow directions. Reminds me of rain-x on steroids. Sent from my Nexus 7 using AG Online

Excellent work Desertnate. I have been using 476 as my pre-winter wax and it has held up pretty well. Looking forward to my spring detailing of the family cars, which sb commencing in a couple of weeks. Sent from my Nexus 7 using AG Online

All my supplies are put into a bin in my electrical closet for the winter. It stays around 60 degrees there. I just don't want to lose any of my investment in goodies to the weather.
