Using pressure washer - touchless car wash

[Murphys33]

Hi Zerstorer,

What is the water output like? The B&D unit sounds like a good deal. I have been reading that Karcher units have a high breakdown rate in autopia forums. Which model are you using?

HDB should consider putting paid Power source at washing bay so that we can use our electrical devices there.

 

For orbiter, pressure washer, compressor.. .. hehehehe..

get an inverter for your AC devices lor.

 

i see many places selling. comes in many different wattage also

can let me know where to find? This inverter thingy can plug to 12volt cigar source and use 13amp plug connecting to device?

Thanks for the heads up man. I bought 1 a few days ago. So far so good, much better than using the bloody garden hose when washing my car at factory...haha.

 

It's quite powerful, I sprayed too long at the licence plate and paint at the plate background actually dropped off.

 

Anyway, for those who wanna get, please do so before 31/7/07 as the offer ends then. Comes with everything u need to get started. Usual price $249, now $199.

 

Oh, when using the detergent bottle to spray, it really doesn't get very foamy. I dun tink it's the car shampoo you are using. Maybe it's like that?

To add on, I got it at the Home-Fix Marina Square. 3 sets left when I bought on Mon. Not sure if they still have it in their store.

 

Went to Home-Fix Siglap Centre and didn't see it.

I bought mine at Siglap Center, surprising that they didn't attempt to re-stock after I got it. Good for blasting loose dirt off rims, wheel arches and tyres.

.....and blasting at passerbys, cats and dogs. Juz kidding!
