Is that a paint depth meter I see there in the corner?

Just a thought, but if you have a water treatment plant nearby might want to call them up to see if they have any plastic barrels that are going to get rid of. I got 4 for free where I live. I just checked the online manual to my PW and it states it only needs 1.5gpm to operate. It's still be...

Yes, basically I will fill the 55 gallon plastic barrel with DI filtered water and connect the hose directly to that barrel. This will only work if there is enough force coming out for the PW. I used these barrels for collecting rain a while back so I know they can deliver some pressure to the...

Hey Fishnugget - I'm actually getting ready to conduct a few test regarding something very similar to what you have asked here. I'm going to use gravity as my friend (hopefully) to feed directly into my PW. Since it was a bit cold for me to get out to my shed today I'll have to put this...

Just curious as I've looked on CL for car stuff, but what did you use as search terms? If I put "car detail" in the search line I get nothing but people selling their cars that they say got "detailed" or they put a "detailed" description in there. Just was curious.

Good call there! I will do my research for sure. Last thing I need is to replace my PW for this! Thanks mate!

Hey thanks guys, the barrels actually already are on a platform of 18"! It's mid 30's today so I didn't get the washer out to test anything officially but it just makes sense that it will. That will probably be the easy part. Getting the DIY DI filter to work may be the tougher part, but I'm...

I bet. There was a time I thought I would enjoy this as a job....but then it wouldn't be a hobby for me and what's the fun in that.

I was the same way, till I found out that I was putting tine swirl marks and sometimes light marring in my paint when I did that. Trying to touch the paint as least as possible is all. Detailing can become very complicated....after all there's the wash, clay, dry, compound, polish, sealant...

It's a homemade version of CR Spotless Rolling De-ionized Water Filtration System, deionization system, water de-ionizer, purified water systems, cr-spotless, spot free rinse, that I'm trying to replicate, but on a much simpler and CHEAPER level. Soon as the weather warms a bit I'm going to...

:confused::dunno:

Well I beg to differ goodasnew as if you would had read when I said after the water was turned off the hose attached to the pressure washer was sucked clean and flattened when the pressure washer was trying to operate. So I'm assuming it was sucking the water that was in the hose out. No I...

:iagree::dblthumb2::xyxthumbs::props:

Ok, sorry. Been a really long week. Picture this: a 55 gallon plastic barrel filled with DI water that I made myself using a simple DIY DI system (google search it). This water is then sucked out of the barrels through the power washer onto the vehicles to give them a spot free rinse. (all...

Well my wife is finally out of the hospital and got her home! She was restless so I started digging around online trying to come up with something for washing/rinsing. I'm not going to slap down $400 on a CR spotless system and there's a lot of talk about the DIY systems that imitate them...

You mean.....you mean....there are OTHER websites for detailing projects out there?......SAY IT AIN'T SO and take it back....take it back.

Second post I've seen about B&S.....who is it. Can't find them on the shopping page.

:haha::detailer:

Strap yourself in bro....it's gonna be a fun ride!!

Oh man....it's getting deep.
