Ah, lots of stuff in this thread worth of discussion (well, IMO at least..but hey I like talking maintenance washes ).
Heh heh, I`ll go longer between washes than you folks would ever believe...as long as I don`t mind how it looks I just let it go. I do Accumulatorette`s A8 pretty frequently though, if only so it doesn`t get too marred up if...OK, *when*...somebody (else) touches it (accidentally). I do often clean just the wheels/tires though, and windshields are done almost daily.
Dirty cars don`t bother me the way marred ones do, though yes indeed the former can lead to the latter!
Touching- I don`t mind touching it a lot, as long as each touch is too gentle to cause marring. *I* do best by being so gentle that it takes MANY touches to get things truly clean; as long as each one is gentle enough, OK. When I try to do it with fewer passes I have to be more aggressive and then I get more marring. Just IME, but that`s how it goes for me.
Yeah, after my Karcher experiences and with the shop so overcrowded I`d been without a pressure washer for years. But with fewer, uhm...accumulated vehicles...the cheap little thing (that keeps working) I got for Christmas with it`s minimal power (which means no overspray) is working out great! I can get by awfully well with just DI pressure washing as long as the FK1000P is reasonably fresh.Originally Posted by Dan
I still like my siphon-feed sprayer that hooks to the compressor and I still use it. The Tornador did *NOT* replace it as expected
I`m currently considering a different sprayer (another siphoning one for the compressor), this one by Lonn, who makes the best bend-to-flow nozzles in the business IMO. I *really* want to streamline my wash process and cut time/effort. I`d love to get a regular maintenance wash down to just 3-4 hours, though that`s not really likely.
