My pressure washer project

I'm always washing my cars and thought I'd install my own shelf mount washer. Just finished it today. It'll be nice to just turn on the water and hit the power switch and wash away. Not the most professional looking setup but it works. Had to sweat new copper downstairs to get water to the garage. bzl5bbm28vqo.jpg

    Mantis, if you see this I got the idea from Obsessed Garage. Matt is the pressure washer guru there.

    1800psi?!?
    That’s not enough to blast a bugs face mark off my grill. 3000 or bust. :D

    Leave the bugs on. They distract from how nasty your grill is!

    Oh wait…. we are talking cars…. Wrong grill :smile:

    1000psi is really all ya need for washing, 3000 is too harsh for paint. Most washers are over rated on psi. Mine is roughly a 1000 to 1100 at the end of the hose.
