Hey guys!

Recently finished an article for my blog about the best pressure washer setup you can get if you're crazy about car care, but still are budget minded.

If you don't want to read the whole article, which explains why I picked what I picked and how to set it all up, heres just the items:

Ryobi 1,700PSI 1.2GPM Electric Pressure Washer – $149
Uberflex 50ft Kink Resistent Pressure Washer Hose – $37
MTM Hydro SGS-28 Pressure Washer Gun – $65
MATCC Foam Cannon – $20
Obsessed Garage Complete Quick Disconnect Package – $32

If you want to see the whole article, please check it out and leave me some feedback!

Are you a mobile detailer? Hadn't considered this as part of the package but I can ask around for recommendations.

Nope. But living in a townhome currently while our house is being built and don't have a convenient hose outlet nearby.

Awesome article. I dig the links to all of the items as that's always helpful.

I'd add this:

1.1mm orifice for the foam cannon. It'll make a better quality foam and make up for the lower pressure that the electric pressure water puts out compared to the gas counterparts.

These generic foam cannons all come from the same place and are all relabeled. I bought a "duschin" brand from Amazon, and the orifice worked fine. Pretty standard sizes.

If the disclaimer is too scary for you, you can buy the same thing without the disclaimer here:
