This is my part-time budget system ;) Justin showing his setup spawned me to get all my stuff together and take some pics.

The base that everything sits on, is two plastic pallets.

  • Coleman 1850 Watt Generator / Electric Cord Reel
  • Rigid 5hp Wet/Dry Vac
  • Karcher Electric Pressure Washer 1400psi / Karcher Hose Reel
  • 65 Gallon Tank with front discharge
  • Milk Crates for bottle organization
  • Misc. stretch straps for holding lighter pieces in place
  • HD Ratchet Straps for tank
  • 2 Storage boxes (1 for MF's and 1 for Pads/Applicators
  • Buckets and Brushes
Cost to get started w/ No Chemicals $900-$1000​

Setup :D

nicee....how many cars can you do with the 60 gal tank?
 
Very nice set-up, seems very well organized...I like it a lot!
 
Looking really nice! What do you do at night when you park it? Not afraid people will walk off with your supplies?
 
Very nice! I see you have satellite radio in there too. but what does a can of turtle wax doing in there? :D ;)
 
scott - 60 gallon will do 6-8 medium size cars including water for the wash bucket... Use it wisely :)

Meghan - Thanks for the compliment !

P1et - I take out the generator, vac, milk crates, ladder, and leave the rest.
I have a brinks cable lock with a "gurantee" in case of theft. But the pressure washer and reel
rest on one pallet very easy to lift and the tank well if empty I pull it off still attached to the pallet and store everything in the garage.

Supercharged - The turtle wax well......... 2.00 a can @ BL and thats my engine dressing, gotta cut a corner a time or two :)

I like Armor All for that purpose.

No external pump to Draw water from tank?
Do you leave Karcher on bed or put on ground when in use?
Nice set up

I had a short hose from the tank to the pressure washer, so head pressure was not a problem. This setup worked great, even with a foam cannon.
 
I need to get up on the bandwagon and start getting stuff going on getting a setup like this. Looks awesome. What type of pressure washer is that if you don't mind me asking? And how well does it work?

This was just a basic karcher from Wal-Mart. I had maybe $350-$400 in the complete setup. (plastic pallets, tank, hose reel, karcher, straps..)
