Looking good! :xyxthumbs:

So which wand do you -prefer-
I have a metric shi### of wands - fixed different lengths, even a *metal flex* one that I can bend in any direction.
I don't use any of these except maybe a 36" fixed when I'm doing a 1st pass rinse on a salty crusty car and want to stand further back

All I use is the flex boot one like the one you have in your pic and a undercarriage spray.
For wheels and wells, I just prefer to use nozzle on gun.

Everything is subjective but IMO, and the (carwash bay style flex boot) doesn't seem to be popular among the detailing crowds.
For me, it's my go to wand

I love my flex when I'm doing a truck or SUV. I just found my new go to wand! It's only 12 inches and even comes in blue which I'm partial as most know.

I have their curved extension wand, swivel gun, and 50 ft. swivel hose. All quality products at reasonable prices.

my neighbor is a plumber and was able to do this right! I was using the outside water with a PVC setup and it was just not cutting it! Still a bit of touch up. But a worthy setup now.

I see you have the pee pee plug in place! :xyxthumbs: Be ultra vigilant in removing it BEFORE turning the water or machine on, you will either blow the o-ring or cause the thing to lock in place. The only way to solve that is to gently undo the jumper hose line to relieve the pressure............carefully.

And I'm super jealous of your blue tap handle. Of all the many components that went into my system, and despite asking for blue, my plumber used a green handle ball valve. I mean, in no way does that alter how it functions, but for a psychopath like me, it sticks out like a sore thumb. :laughing:



 
Some great explanations on wall-mount options in this video -

 
I ordered the Mosmatic wand and gun just to see....

I still prefer my 12+ years old MTM gun. Without doing a full deep dive, the MTM is more linear vs the Mosmatic is more -press down to engage, and the trigger pull spring is more direct on/off- relative.

The wand. Did not see any COO offerings. The plastic on the handle part arrived with a slight chip in in.

The Mosmatic order is being returned but I don't see what the rage on Mosmatic is all about.
 
Love my MTM SGS35 and use it with my new favorite ESSENTIAL WASHER 12" wand (Amazon $20) Just the perfect size!
I use to use the Hamel flexible wand as my go to and now the MTM 20" for trucks and higher vehicles.

It depends on what it is. I've ran Mosmatic and MTM items back to back, the differences between are somewhat subjective.

The SGS28 and OG Mosmatic look relatively similar, the differences between both are minor. As mentioned, the MTM has a progressive trigger action, the Mosmatic is basically an on-off switch. That aspect caught me out to begin with, but prefer the more positive feel of the Mosmatic now. I also like the neater integration of the swivel into the body of the sprayer.







For wands, I think this is a more definitive verdict. I never liked the MTM version, it being unbalanced and less comfortable to hold than the Mosmatic. The stupid rubber boot on the MTM is basically useless as the nozzle protrudes beyond it. The Mosmatic has none, the nozzle itself provides that rubber protector.







Fittings and connections, previously I would have said the Mosmatic items have a nicer "snick" to them. However, the new US-made Prima fittings from MTM have bridged the gap, looking and feeling much nicer than the Chinese-made versions.







I guess it comes down to budget and personal preferences. Nothing wrong with either brand, both produce similar products, both are fantastic upgrades over an OE setup.
 
Personal preference indeed like care shampoo selection, LSP. I already mentioned it in this thread but my preferred lance/wance is the same/similar style they use at coin ops with the rubber bellows in he middle for flex. I have a few lances but I always grab the rubber bellows variant.

The rubber head on the Mosmatic wand or how they intend to have it on for me doesn't make sense. On top if there is a coupler. Every time, whether I put a foam cannon, or switch a tip, the rubber head is in the -way- of my uncoupling the disconnect.

Everything else in where the detailing retail industry has new products like the Stubby Nozzle Setup, Stubby Gun, etc - all this has universally existed decades ago in the professional pressure washing industry in the world of a standard 1/4 Female Plug, with a 1/4 nozzle insert of choice. I use the Suttner Nozzle Guards on all of mine, mainly as it's Red and Easy to Spot.

What's your take on the smooth Ring on those Veloci's.

I prefer the heavy grit knurling.
When new, all disconnects are pretty fluid.
It does help to lube them up every now and then.

But when the plugs, etc get a bit janky and it becomes a bit of a bear to disconnect or connect, the knurling helps to get a grip on the collar to pull it down to connect/disconnect.
Usually when it reaches this stage, I treat it like a Phillips Bit, etc. It's a consumable that just needs to be replaced.
The Veloci's look very clean looking but practicality, I dunno.
