1.Karcher 5 premium pressure washer 220$
2.Mccoulh 1385 steamer 200$
3.tornador Black 165$
4. air compressor 165$
5.Foam Canon MTM 75$
6. DA Polisher 250 $
7. 100 Gallon water tank 125 $
8. Cordless drill 65$
9. Different brushes 80$
10. Microfiber 100$
11.clay bar. 30$
12. Bucket and grit 50$
13.mytee 8070 extractor 800$

will welcome any suggestion that needs to be upgraded or taken off the list. own a Honda e3000 generator and got some Torq fx10 polishers and bunch of chemicals that could start me as weekend/part time warrior

Replace the claybar with a claymitt.

You’re paying Way too much for a bucket & grit guard... Buckets are like $4 bucks round here.

Which polisher are you buying for $250?

You already have “some” Torx Polishers? Sounds like you’re pretty good already?

Noted. thanks for the feedback
I have used my torq fx10 for almost a year now but want to keep that in the budget even though I already own it.

Not sure if you have racks set up... But if you need a something good to hold bottles, these things work great. They’re Rubbermaid and easily found online for cheap, like $12.

You’re going to want to buy a whole set of bottles and sprayers [if you don’t already have them] for everything you’ve got and have them labeled. Do it once and do it right, you’ll thank yourself later.

It’s also a good idea to invest in a proper extension cord[s] of at least 14 gauge and 50’ or maybe even 100’ feet. You can find them good and cheap at Wally World or even better Costco.

I know you said you’re good on chemicals, but get a gallon of McKee’s N-914. You’ll use it for tons of stuff such as claylube @1:128, rinseless wash concentrate, waterless wash concentrate, interior wipedowns, you can even use it as glass cleaner. It’ll save you from having to buy several other products that don’t yield anywhere near as much as this gallon will.

What air compressor are you getting for $165 that will run the Tornador?

[TiCaLLioNStaLLyN]

Make sure your Compressor has enough cfms for the tornador. They need 5.5cfm I believe to be used right.

Grab the small 2 wheeled ridgid vaccum 5 hp 4 gal. Also but the industrial hose upgrade for it or just the detailer kit.

Grab a carpet brush....rubber fingered one works good for 10 bucks.

I was thinking of the California air tool 5510se . I believe it comes with 90psi and 3.10 Cfm . I guess it will be underpowered for the tornador. Thanks for pointing that out .

Ya that air compressor isn't going to work with your Tornador.
