    The coin op pressure is actually pretty low since joe blow down the street might have the nozzle point blank on the paint trying to remove dried on bird droppings from months ago, it's a liability thing. The ryobi unit you have pictured won't have a problem with lacking psi.

    If you really want to be el cheapo you can shop around and get a decent hose/nozzle/foam cannon for around another $100-$150 and have a solid setup for $250.

    Yeah already did that with an MTM acqualine nozzle gaurd. Got a couple generics off of Amazon that seem nice as well with verying degrees. With proper distance it’s been fine

    With the 2.5 40 degree it gets 1100 psi. I loved mine and hold onto it as a spare.

    ordered and received (from AE) two car door/trunk support rods for just under $6 for the pair. will come in handy when polishing and doing edge work...




    i was gonna buy one of these below but wasn't sure when you tighten the knob to adjust the length, if it could slip/slide and potentially cause damage. don't know how secure it is...

    didn't know they made such things. are the trunk rods intended to be used when you have to drive with the hatch open?

    there suppose to be used for PDR/body work, etc. (machine polishing for many as well). i wouldn't use them while driving though, not to say that you couldn't...

    I've been thinking about asking my nephew to 3D print one of these for me, so I can drive with my back window open in summer, but I'm not sure if fumes and dust would be sucked in. The dogs would probably enjoy it though.
