The First Step...

I thought I had a lot!

I was thinking the other day that this hobby is way cheaper than golf. I never have gotten into golf, but I've liked detailing cars since I was about 14 or so.
 
Great! Did you consider the Diamer when you got the Dupray?

Yes, I did. I looked at all of the pro models. I wasn't totally convinced of the cost-effectiveness of steamers and dropping even more than the $2500 I did on the Dupray Hill Injection model I got didn't sit well. Now that I have it, I wonder why it took me so long to get one - even if I didn't detail cars! No comparison at all to the consumer models I already had.

As a 3-handicap golfer, I concur!! Can't walk passed new driver models without a test drive.

For the non-golfers out there, I am pretty good.

Hmmm. I was looking at models around $1000.

Looked at those, too, Al. Liked the 121psi 398F steam and hot water injection. To be honest, though, most work - especially interiors - doesn't need that much pressure. But we were in the middle of water restrictions at the time and thought I'd be doing more wheels and engines without my pressure washer.

Will say continuous fill is nice. Pressurizes much faster and never/rarely have to stop.

The next model up is around $1800 (Super Inox model) with continuous fill with the injection model at $2250.
