Best Pressure Washer?

[D10S86]

What are you all using to clean your rides? I’m looking for something I can add soap into and just spray down to wash.

Anyone have any experience using Adams polishes?

You're on the right path. Get a decent electric pressure washer and a foam cannon. It'll help emulsify bonded contaminants so they're easily rinsed off. You'll still need to do a contact wash, but it removes a good portion of the crap that's on the paint so there's less chance of introducing scratches.

Starting with clean, corrected and protected paint helps a lot.

I'm not an expert, but i do use their regular non-pressure-washer foam cannon since I haven't gotten one yet, and use the rest of their products to clean our rides, which work well. I also have their nano ceramic but haven't had time for that process yet. Bonus is their products smell great hah. My buddy who details cars for a living recommended them to me.

$99 Ryobi electric pressure washer from HD, 1600 PSI, 1.2 GPM, very portable. Don't spray too close on the paint when using the 15 degree tip; it can be abrasive.

I use the Sun Joe SPX3000. 1.76gpm and 2030psi. That way I can protect the paint.

I recently added a RV filter to the wash line to help with hard water.

I second this recommendation. Helps a ton with water spots. And the Sun Joe is perfect for cleaning up the Gladiator.

Would use Adam’s or Chemical guys lines of products as I have had no issues with either.

I also use this Foam Cannon since the base is much wider than the others. Helps it stand up straight and not fall over.

Sorry guys. I was trying to find pics of washing the Gladiator. The white doesn't pop as much against the silver like it does my JL.

1.) Rinse rinse rinse.
2.) Foam bath with the cannon
3.) Rinse.
4.) Foam bath with cannon followed by the wash mit using a 2 bucket method.
5.) Rinse.

Then I dry with the master blaster.

I agree with the comments above. Clean paint and some sealant goes a long ways to help your washing later on. I ceramic coat all of my own vehicles after extensive paint prep. I used to like adding wax and all that crap. Now I'm just getting old and don't care as much but I still like to keep them clean.

Unless you're paying a ton of money for a Kranzle, they're all basically the same in the $100-$200 price range. Buy whatever is local to you and easily returnable if there's an issue or warranty replacement is needed. The SunJoes don't use traditional fittings for disconnects and such which is why I'd advise to not buy one. Though that doesn't matter if you like it stock.

If you use a foam cannon buy a 1.1 orifice and replace the stock one in the foam cannon. Your foam will be much thicker and satisfying. This is for electric pressure washers only since gas ones have a higher GPM.

1:45 mark or so shows how to put in new orifice

I have an Aladdin power washer with heat. Love it. The steel rack has a Maguire constrained dispenser with 3 types of soap, detailer, and glass cleaner. The power washer can inject soap and I also have a former attachment and an under body washer.

plus one for this sunjoe, I have one too. The soap spray was disappointing so I bought a snow foam cannon off Amazon to attach to it which does the trick. I end up using the pressure washer more than it plus the foam cannon though, justone less step
