OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo frustrated with the STUPID PW hose. It kinks but its stiff and wont unwind right, gets wrapped around everything, is in the way, and NEVER stays/goes where you want it to. I have 2 25' hoses connected to each other and what a freaking PAIN.

Anyone have cool ideas? I was ready to CUT the stupid thing today while washing my car!

HELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLP!

lol

I'd seriously consider learning proper rinseless washing techniques. It's a game changer and time saver when done right. Sounds like you're the perfect candidate. If an old dog like me can learn new tricks anybody can.

Learn rinse less wash. It is good for 90% of washes.

Go to a commercial pressure washer seller and break out the money for a quality hose. I've got a 100' commercial grade hose and it never kinks, drains perfectly, and coils perfectly. Spend the money.

Ding!! Ding!! Ding!! Ding!!...We have a winner!!!!

It's a night and day difference!! I think I payed $109 for my current 50' hose and that's with very high quality brass quick disconnects included in the price.

No way I could ever wash more than one car with a hose like you describe. Pay in cash or in aggravation. I pay in cash.

"Commercial Grade"

Meaning it actually works for more than a week...

I guess I will see what a quality hose is when I get to PA huh Dave? Great then Ill probably have to go buy one! LOL.

As for the waterless, I am just too afraid it wont get the dirt and salt off, yeah in the middle of summer here (June and July) it would probably work fine but any other time I just dont know. I am going to start slowly and try it on my garage queen this summer and I will decide how I like it.

Thanks all!!

The 50 foot hose on my PW is stiff and gets twisted easily.
Thought about trying the swivel connectors on both ends ?

That's a thought Bob...but with 50ish feet of hose I'm not sure it'll work
