$200 for free

got 200 bucks from an extended family member and i want to spend it!
i am thinking about a pressure washer or a rotary and product.
i really want a pressure washer and foam cannon, cause my pc has not stopped me from removing any swirls yet. but if i dont get the pw i could buy lots of product :headbang:

any suggestions is appreciated

 

Id go with a rotary.

 

I'd go with a pressure washer and foam cannon because you will use this on virtually every detail as opposed to the rotary that you might not use on every detail. I would also consider increasing my product arsenal before jumping onto a rotary. Just my .02.

 

I agree.. a PW was one of the 1st things on my "list"... and I am glad I got it

 

i am thinking pw too. i just got to find a karcher adapter for a foam cannon.

 

I would also go with a PW and a foam cannon,you will wash your cars for many years to come.
This would be a good place to find adaptors and a foam cannon:
Pressure Washer- KARCHER PRESSURE WASHER ACCESSORIES

 

the adapter i would need is a karcher lance to 1/4"
ive seen them in the uk. but idk.
target has a black and decker pw on sale for 80 bucks

PressureParts.com Offers ::Foam Cannon With Tank

i am thinking about this foam cannon does anyone have it?
does it have an adjustment for ratio of solution?
do you think i should spend the extra money on a cam spray?

 

hmm...well here in Calgary we can't wash our vehicles outside, well we can but not allowed to use soap so a PW was never on my priority list, but now it totally is.

The thing is that either tool you will use rotary or PW, but if you have never used a rotary you'll need to give your self a bit of time to get the hang of it but once you get the hand of the rotary you will enjoy it. PW well it saves time and when detailing anything you can do to speed up the process all for the better. Well what ever you decide to go with I'm sure you will enjoy it.....oh and the tittle totally had me thinking I was going to win $200 :lol2:

 

That's the one I just bought a few days ago,and yes it has an adjustment to change the solution ratio.here is the thread about it:

that is what i was going for, drawing people in. i think i should go into marketing lol

hey disturbed why did you buy all the other fittings and have you used it yet? do you have any inaction pics?

 

i made my pw purchase. it has a karcher style bayonet end.
now i got to find the adapter.
give me a couple minutes to post some pics

 

Those fittings are for two different ways of attaching the foam cannon and the extension lance to the gun,one way is with the quick connect couplers and the other way is with twist connect sockets.
If I loose one of the fittings I wouldn't have to scramble to find or order one.
I'm dying to use my new PW and cannon but it's not possible with the cold weather and Snow on the ground:rollingpin:.

 

can you link me to the fittings i need. the twist type bayonet is the one i have.
i am buying the cannon from pressure washer parts

 

I don't know much about the bayonet type but I've read on Autopia site some of its members found a way to connect a foam cannon to a Karcher PW.
If you have an extra bayonet fitting and lance ,you could cut it in half and thread the end of it to fit a 1/4" FNPT thread like this guy did:

Foam Cannon for Pressure Washers - Autopia Car Detailing Forum
I ended up buying a gas powered PW.:whistle:

 

i am going to cut the end of the high pressure nozzel and thread the pipe. then i am going to teflon a quick connector and finally epoxy it on. then i ll get some quick connect nozzels and a quick connect for the foam cannon

 

pics of my pw






here is the fitting it that goes in the lance


well i decided before i cut the wand apart why not take it apart.




and to my surprise


it is a garden hose fitting :gasp: . that means all i need is a 3/4" to 1/4" adapter and i can connect my foam cannon :headbang:

 

Perfect ,I'm sure you are relieved ,now you don't have to cut anything.
It is really easy to find fittings for that size.
Congratulations on your new purchase.:mounty:

 

yeah im hyped. cant wait to make my order. too bad pressureparts.com is down

 

well i was playing with my pw today

suprising it foamed pretty good without the wand on it.

i just made my cannon purchase from pressure parts

cant wait

 

Nice pressure washer
