Saving $300, $500, even $1000 on the upfront cost versus this cheapo $140 consumer grade pressure washer literally means nothing to a professional detailer, since performance and convenience of use aside, that consumer grade crap washer is gonna crap out on you after a few months of constant daily use, and just one day of lost income due to the broken tool will have cost you more than the money saved on the tool itself.

Even as an enthusiast it makes your life easier especially a wall mount/reel. People who say shit like this is too expensive clearly dont have a passion for detailing or they are so used to buying the cheapest shit they can find regardless of what it is.

If you're worried about hitting the paint with the nozzle you're too close to the paint.

Remember these guys run a business - so these are investments for efficiency gains.

This is what a near end game pressure washer setup looks like. Yall can save your money with this setup. Grip: sgs28 for around $70 or if you don’t need swivel the sg28 is $34 and a great low budget option is the harbor freight stubby grip at $25. For the tips all the mtm aqualine ones with the rubber are about $30 but you can get bare 40 degree tips anywhere for about $5. And a great hose would be anything flexzilla with the 50 foot one being about $40. Unless your pressure washer is wall mounted you don’t need more than 50 feet and anything less will have you hauling your pressure washer everywhere. Here’s my ideal setup if you’re just starting and want a super low budget build: Ryobi 1800psi 1.2gpm electric pressure washer $100, harbor freight stubby grip $25, flexzilla 50’ hose $40, and a nozzle kit from harbor freight for $20 totaling $235.

I agree the upgrades are a must buy you can get all those for $150 total for good brands. Most expensive is the hose.

He speaks facts. Even wiv a more expensive washer you don't get those conveniences as standard.

Everyone in here saying you should’ve bought a more expensive pressure washer to begin with washes their car with a hose 🤣

I use the ryobi 1800/1.2gpm paired with a Toolcy snubby, and 50ft Toolcy flexible-kink free hose and an AstroAi foam cannon. All lesser known, cheaper options on the upgrades, but I swear by this combo. It has served me well for about a year and a half now. I’m not a pro detailer, but do detail as a side hustle so it gets plenty of use/abuse and so far has handled it great. MTM hydro, Mckillans, I’m sure it great too but waaay overpriced.

Agree 100%. Great video 👍🏻

You should let your viewers know if they get a Karcher, they should be mindful of the outlet size is a M22 15mm fitting. Meaning, not any pressure hose or Quick Connects will automatically fit.

Lesson number one, don't buy $200 pressure washers. Lesson number two, don't put a bunch of mediocre accessories on a $200 pressure washer. Lesson number three, 10 cheap tools cost more then one decent tool. Go get a Honda GTX 270 or better and run it with a Northstar or Cat pump and have it for 10+ years or the rest of your life depending on how much you use it.
