    Dionized Water

    I ended up buying the dic-20. from craigslist off a guy with a cubic ft of resin for 300 bucks. And you are right, the dic-20 according to the site holds .33 cubic feet of resin. so you can fill it up 3 times with 1 cubic ft resin bag. so windows101 has the cheapest price for resin at 160...

    SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

    Maybe try a quick disconnect on the pump and on the gun. Maybe that will fix the loss of pressurre? I never tried the flex 50' hose on its own without the QDs. But i can say that I noticed only a slight change in pressure but not much at all. I used two of these Shop Blue Hawk Metric Quick...

    SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

    I don't know how you were able to extend it. The hose you linked looks different to the one available at my local lowes. At one point I brought the SJ hose in to the store. And with the help of a store clerk tried every hose on the shelves with all manner of fittings and none of them worked...

    OPticoat 2.0 sheeting

    Okay, so the wipe down is to knock down most of the polish before using the ipa. What I normally do is just wash the car with DI water after polishing, then I do an ipa. Then I rinse it again with DI water... letting it air dry. I figure that the soap from the foam cannon and a wash mitt would...

    OPticoat 2.0 sheeting

    Thanks! Yeah I will do a good wash with a clay speedy rag (I forget the name of it) but its like a weird clay bar rag that decontaminates paint. I currently only have meguairs ultimate compound and some kind of meguiars polish. I am hesitant to claim that the coating has failed because the car...

    OPticoat 2.0 sheeting

    Thanks for the replies guys. Ill do a good wash and test to see if the sheeting is restored. I remember after applying opticoat how a huge bottle's worth of water just bounced off the hood and fell the ground... The hood was bone dry. From your experience, does this level of sheeting remain...

    OPticoat 2.0 sheeting

    I have another question. I did a compound buff, polish, ipa wipe down, then topped my black car with opticoat 2.0. It must have been a yr a go or so and now, the car does not shed water like it did on day 1. Is this normal? To be honest, i haven't been doing a 2 bucket wash, instead ive just...

    Dionized Water

    Thanks rasky! Thats what I thought. Same number of gallons. I read on here that oldmodman put somekind of filter before his cr spotless system that extended the life of the resin. What kind of dionizing filter is that? Anyways 160 bucks for 1 cubic feet sounds good. How much more resin is that...

    Dionized Water

    I have a question about DI water. I read on some forums that softwater will work like DI water to reduce spotting, but this is a lie. I bought a 200 dollar portable water softener to be used with a pressure washer. Although it is nice and brought my 17 gpg\250ppm water down to 20 ish ppm, I...

    SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

    This is true, but using quick disconnects allows the hose to rotate freely as it is used, this makes leaks\loosening the hose from the connections less likely, and with the pressure on, you wont want any of that. You could probably get by without quick disconnects, but they ensure a propper seal...

    SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

    I agree, but finding 15 mm coupler with a large enough diameter to accomodate the nipple on the hose is impossible. I attempted to extend the hose using a 15 mm pipe threaded couple and a thicker oring so the it makes good contact on the inner walls of the coupler. Long story short, even with...

    SunJoe SPX3000 longer hose?

    Just for those who might be wondering... I bought the spx3000 from homedpot for 140 shipped to my door step. Just for those who are shopping, here are my thoughts on this pressure washer. 1) Most, if not all electric PWs come with a crappy 20' hose. You have to order a longer pw hose in order...
