It was a tough decision, I washed my cars for years, and dried by hand. But the truck being so large, I thought man this really sucks. So I just figured screw it and bought it. Got off Amazon for no tax and free shipping. Wow, I won't wash without it now. The thought of going back to just a shammy give me anxiety. But I feel the same about the pressure washer too now, couldn't do with out it. I also us the water blade and that cuts down on time too.

I might have to bite the bullet while I still have Amazon Prime.

I went to havoc in the hills and had o power spray my truck. I love the thought of spray washing it vs water then soap then drying which takes up most of my day.

Idk how much power washers are but I know I would need more than two days a week job to cover for it. Anyone want to donate a power washer?

I know. I hear good things, but don't want to buy a pressure washer right now. Plus, I feel like it's an extra step that will take longer. I mean truly, what are the benefits?

It really cuts the wash time down. I use pressure washer rinse truck well, the go to foam cannon. I only use one bucket with grit guard, just fill bucket with water, wash one panel at a time, rinse and wring out mitt each panel. Rinse truck, dry and your done.

That does sound pretty quick. And definitely a good way to avoid water spots/soap streaks.

55 sounds like you better sell the truck. But you'd be better off not washing it if your using dish soap I use to. The right soap you don't need much.
