Rinseless Pre-Spray Equipment

[Coatingsarecrack]

I am probably 180° from Optimus on this--I wouldn't want to use the same sprayer for my lawn/garden as my car stuff, I don't have any EGO stuff here at home--I was happy I found that sprayer I linked for $90. I just went searching to see what the price on the EGO is with a battery and charger but didn't find it listed that way, however I see Clean Garage has it on their site already (not available yet), so I guess this is going to be a "thing" in the detailing world.

I find this to be a bizarre coincidence that I have been thinking about this topic for some time (why a garden sprayer can't be a good rinseless pre-sprayer) but finally got around to posting it, just before, unbeknownst to me, it was going to become "a thing".

But back to your question of whether it's overkill, which I know was half joking, if a 765 CFM blower isn't overkill, than this isn't, either.

If it’s was $399 with two batteries like the new blower I would have ordered. Problem is I need more batteries.

I watched the video with Keav and the Ego sprayer. Doesn't look to me like the 350 psi would be a replacement for a pressure washer. Yes the 350 is substantially higher than other sprayers but the vast majority of sprayers are not obtained for their psi.

The 350 psi sems to me to be in no man's land. Significantly higher than other sprayers but lacking the pressure to remove any debris of consequence.

Maybe that will be the price for the full kit, that's usually the way it works that the batteries are tons cheaper with the tool than by themselves, so the only reason to get the bare tool is if you already have plenty of batteries and chargers.

I skimmed through the video, but I have to agree..it didn't really look like it was putting out 350psi. I tried looking up the specs on that discontinued HF airless paint sprayer I have, but I can't find them (or the instructions), but the low price one they have now says 1000-3000 psi. I dunno about mine, but when I used it a week or two ago I was struggling to get the brine residue off the car, and I put my hand in front of the spray and it felt really gentle...maybe I have it turned down all the way.

Or maybe it's just the way it works, maybe it is 1000 psi but very low volume--the beauty of it, most of the time, is that it blasts the dirt off without using much water (therefore not getting the driveway so wet during winter).
