Yeah, I'd think about 6' of tubing would do the trick. I'm gonna give this a try and report back. Been wondering what to use for flushing the degreaser...this should work great...we'll see.

Re: Detailing tip (tobijohn)
Well, better late than never. After having to be reminded by another member about my offer to try this out (I had completely forgotten :bb :bb :bb ) I finally got around to it and while I didn't attempt anything too extensive, I've got to admit it works pretty well! I shot the A-arms and shock with some Orange Blast, scrubbed the area down with an old toothbrush and rinsed it off with the water pik. It did a pretty good job on its lowest power and didn't splatter too badly at all. The high power would be good for rinsing out areas and crevices that are horizontal (like the top of the engine). I know we spoke about lengthening the hose but try it stock first as the base unit is small enough to perch or fit just about anywhere (I had it sitting on the front tire for this job ) so you should also be able to reach just about anywhere as well with the standard two feet of hose that it comes with. Another advantage to this is that you're always in reach of the power switch (which is on the base and not the nozzle) as well which could be an added convenience in some situations. The reservoir also holds enough water for up to about four or five minutes of rinsing. Good luck!
