Default For the "clean freaks"

Saw this the other day and had to go buy one, haven't used it yet but looks to be a valuable tool for my detailing of the cars. Although I will have to roll the Vette up on some boards because it wont fit under it. There are models with little wheels if that's your only use but I'll be using it on various vehicles. So see what you think Oh you gotta have a pressure washer

Don't forget to connect a water filter to the sprayer so there aren't any water spots.

Is there an attachment that allows it to be used in the bathroom?

Nice find Bobby!

To the others, it is also available at your local Home Depot as well as Amazon.

Other models available at the link below, which also include models with smaller wheels which will get under a Corvette.


https://www.pressurewashersdirect.co...er-brooms.html

for those without a pressure washer, or those who are creative, plastic PCV piping with drilled holes and standard hose plumbing fittings can be put together and assembled for less that 25.00.

Home Depot, $43 + tax seems like a quality piece. Tried it yesterday but the pressure washer was only rated at 1700 PSI so it wasn't to powerful, mine is rated at 2030PSI so I hope its more. I'll report after I use it

Just get a small rotary sprinkler, one that has wheels on one end, and push it from one end of the car to the other, leaving it to sit in several spots for a few minutes. This method is often used by 4X4 owners to loosen and drop under vehicle mud off. Works great. The pictured one is Orbit brand and costs $11.99 on Amazon.

The clean freaks will buy this, use it, and then remember they never drive in the rain, hence render they're car totaled.

Finally used this little device and while I didn't expect anything too outrageous it does a decent job of washing away debris and some road film, of course my vette wasn't very dirty at all.
Now for my "sport truck" which is 28 years old I will use soap/simple green and the like to try and remove whatever it has had thrown onto its under carriage and hopefully it does a good job. In truth nothing will replace a good steam cleaning but for now this thing will work just fine, and for about $40 its aint bad
