    what kind of pressure washer do mobile guys have ?

    I came across what seems to a good deal on a kracher 4000 psi unit.I did a little research and the unit is self primeing as i plan to mobile after awhile. Any feedback on this would be helpful.

    thats ALOT of pressure for a car! i would never use that...i have a briggs and stratton 1800 psi PW and it does an excellent job. Alot of people dont like electric because they dont last as long, take care of it the right way and it will last a good while.

    I know thats alot but can't beat the price was thinking about doing decks and other stuff if needed.Plus you can adjust the pressure at the wand.

    If you happen to catch a breach in the paint like a crack or rock chip with a high stream of water used too close it's possible to blast the paint off. Solution? Use a wider angle. Stand farther away and use the high misting portion of your spray pattern than the high pressure part near the tip. You shouldn't be using the pressure washer to blast anything except rims and wheel wells.

    I'm confused about this as well. For example, I want something that will give me maximum foam, so I was thinking the MTM Foam lance and a pressure washer. BUT, how do I rinse my car off after that? Do you still have to get out a hose?

    No. Just disconnect the foam lance (it's a quick-connect) and reattach the rinse nozzle.

    I have the MTM Hydro and love it.
