Thumbs up Little Carwash

Christmas toy for myself hehe. 2400 PSI, 6000 CP. It's not as powerfull as I thought it would be though. I should have spent the extra 100 bucks and get the 6.5 HP, 2700 PSI one. That would have been a Briggs & Stratton engine though. I'm not too fond of those.

Spun it the first time last week since it hit like 70 around here. I thought it would be "no touch" washing but I guess you still have to use a sponge first lol. Damn I'm lazy lol. I managed to chip more of the black powdercoat on the POS Precision grille I'm about to send back for a free replacement lol.

Pretty sweet overall and it even has a sunglass holder (I think that's what it is lol) where I can hang my Oakleys.

Gotta love that honda motor. One of the best things we have done to ours is get a long A$$ hose. You will never be sorry. Still keep the 15 or 20' hose and add a 50' hose. Makes it really nice to wash all kids of stuff with it that way. Be shure and watch that red tip, it can do some damage. (almost lost a finger)


have fun with it!!!!!!

There isn't one built-in but you could use the siphon to tap a keg.

Actually yes, I rubberized all the red tubing so the paint won't get scratched. **** I know but what if she got into a wreck?

Looks good.

Do you run it on full 2400 psi all the time? Might be in danger of catching a chip and tearing paint though. I like to keep mine at 1000psi or below.

Intel,

You're right on time lol. I remember reading your post last week about not running it full blast and was going to ask you how to adjust the pressure. So how DO you adjust the pressure? The manual has no mention of any such thing. This model is pretty basic though, only $450, might not have that feature.
