Lol. The upgrades cost more than the pressure washer 4x

[pullingthestrings]

This reminds me of those box Honda cars that are like $1500 dollars but they put $2000 rims and $1500 stereo system and $800 exhaust 😂

This is what a near end game pressure washer setup looks like. Yall can save your money with this setup. Grip: sgs28 for around $70 or if you don’t need swivel the sg28 is $34 and a great low budget option is the harbor freight stubby grip at $25. For the tips all the mtm aqualine ones with the rubber are about $30 but you can get bare 40 degree tips anywhere for about $5. And a great hose would be anything flexzilla with the 50 foot one being about $40. Unless your pressure washer is wall mounted you don’t need more than 50 feet and anything less will have you hauling your pressure washer everywhere. Here’s my ideal setup if you’re just starting and want a super low budget build: Ryobi 1800psi 1.2gpm electric pressure washer $100, harbor freight stubby grip $25, flexzilla 50’ hose $40, and a nozzle kit from harbor freight for $20 totaling $235.

People who haven’t detailed for money don’t realize how much better these upgrades make your life

[TheRealMrRoyal]

I agree the upgrades are a must buy you can get all those for $150 total for good brands. Most expensive is the hose.

If you're worried about hitting the paint with the nozzle you're too close to the paint.

Remember these guys run a business - so these are investments for efficiency gains.

140 for a hose attachment and a nozzle guard 😭😭😭😭

Quality Quick disconnects and quick shut off valves changed my life haha. My favorite upgrade

[matsudakodo]

McKillan's gun and bent wand, Uberflex hose, pressure gauge, tips in different sizes to dial in your psi and gpm, tip holder, STA-BIL pump protector

Just bought a short hand hose for 20 bucks and the original hose may not be very long but I have no problem carrying my little ryobi 1600 psi pressure washer around. Plus the pressure washer only cost $60 bucks.

You should let your viewers know if they get a Karcher, they should be mindful of the outlet size is a M22 15mm fitting. Meaning, not any pressure hose or Quick Connects will automatically fit. They may need some adapters to covert the more common M22 14mm hoses out there, as well as the quick connects.

I use the ryobi 1800/1.2gpm paired with a Toolcy snubby, and 50ft Toolcy flexible-kink free hose and an AstroAi foam cannon. All lesser known, cheaper options on the upgrades, but I swear by this combo. It has served me well for about a year and a half now. I’m not a pro detailer, but do detail as a side hustle so it gets plenty of use/abuse and so far has handled it great. MTM hydro, Mckillans, I’m sure it great too but waaay overpriced.

[junaidijaz]

He speaks facts. Even wiv a more expensive washer you don't get those conveniences as standard.

[sneakyhippo]

The Ryobi 1800 psi pressure washer is the best bang for your buck if you’re doing car washing/detailing. It’s $99 and you can afford the new gun to go with for the price of the Karcher

I have the Active 2.0 and i agree with everything but the hose part. I like a flimsier hose than the extremely rigid ones. Personally i like 1/4" and 50 feet. Maybe $80-$100 for a good one.

[alloutofdonuts]

I was half expecting this to be a joke, but after reading the comments I get it. Seems kind or ridiculous tho if you buy an expensive one you still need some of these upgrades, but such is life. I’m in the market for a pressure washer upgrade from my little electric WEN. Something I can use also for wet sandblasting..

[stephenlouden]

this is the washer I have but with a 50 ft uberflex hose on a swivel McKillans gun. also using a 3.5 green nozzle tip flowing 1.6 gpm at 900 psi. perfect for washing.

[xtotalrx]

This is advise for those running a car washing business, not personal use

[SKNER]

Another tip: increase the gpm of the tip to reduce psi and increase water flow ;). Easier on your system too.
