Question #24: Best cleaning set up for under $1000?

[richnot]

I would say the reason for that is because it looks like most electric power washers use a different type of wand then a gas powered unit which typically uses the removable tips and the electric oneS like a Karcher and others have a adjustable wand. The main thing is that it can handle a high PSI. I will read into it a little more on their site

From their site Q and A

Hi AA, This is compatible with the Electric models as long as they have the 1/4" quick connect. Thanks for asking. Greg

If you’re gonna go with a leaf blower, buy the Ego 650CFM model, it’s a beast. Dries the truck FAST, also blows off my driveway and porch like no one’s business. I think I paid $300.

Electric leaf blowers work well. I have a 56v Worx model and it is awesome.

Stay away for gas blowers they can suck in the exhaust gases and if it’s a 2 stroke there are oil particles in there. Hell the small hand held gas blowers we have at work the exhaust faces forward!

I agree with you on that, I use a EGO 56v blower to help dry off my vehicles, motorcycles included

Lotsa great advice here. Does anyone have a link to any of the bench steps that some are talking about?

You mean these? Cuts washing time by about 30% in my case.

I have a foam cannon system and am not super nuts about the whole thing. Unless you have a covered area (I do not), here in sunny Florida, I cannot get around the truck fast enough to keep it from drying and caking on before I agitate it and then rinse. With a small car I can see where it would be awesome. I suppose if I washed the truck at 7am or really late in the day, it would be a different story.
