So as I live in an apartment, my options are severely limited.

Currently have this in my Amazon cart...

On the anal-retentive spectrum, I'm a Piker compared to you folks.

My detail Detail cabinet, other wise known as stealing room from the welding cabinet. More detailing going on these days than welding.



Karcher pressure washer is a true piece of junk. If you see one at a yard sale pass it buy. This is unit #3, First one died right after purchase and Home Depot replaced it. Second one died a couple months after warranty. This one came home with me because I was too cheap to spend $300 on something I seldom use. (I was wrong about the money and the use). Upgraded it to QR so I could use foam cannon and better sprayer. I see a better pressure washer in my future.

Disintegrator -

Is that um a towel wringer ? It looks nice and shiney


Do you use it....in this current day and age of blowers and super soaking Microfibers

a single PFM will do like 1 1/2 cars till it get's sopping wet. If I use the blower, which I generally do, all I need is single MF to blot dry any remaining bit

Mr. Wong... So happy that you're amused its an "anything" wringer; drying towels, wash mitts etc. It makes drying "anything" so much faster and easier after a good rinse/wash. You should try it. But shiny? It's mat finished stainless steel, but maybe the crank handle is a bit shiny as its made out of tubing. Gee wiz... what will they think of next - Blowers and PFM towels?? Yeah I got that covered too bro. Enjoy!

Heh. U know I posted in jest. Shiny as in do you even use it.
If I had one, I don't know when/how I would use one in my detailing flow.
Everyone does things different tho .


For me, Everything get's washed into the -utility- washer which doesn't see house clothes.
I've never hand wrung anything except the glass cloths which I do hand wash. But since it's the diamond weave , which creases easily, I don't even hand wring those out and just put them on a clothes hanger and let them dry in the boiler room

I know! All good fun bro.... Wringer use? I air dry all my towels/mitts and this removes 98% of water so they're not dripping all over the place.

disintegrator66 That is simply an astounding set up. I'm in awe but oddly not envious.

Kranzle 1322TS with Kobrajet hoses and OG Mosmatic spray gun / wand. So far really loving it. Only issue so far was that I had to switch to a 1.5mm orifice on my MTM PF22.2 foam cannon as the Kranzle kept overamping.

Took over my utility closet on the left to keep it all hidden.

I have two set ups. One is an electric for cars and other small stuff. The frame is made from parts of two old pressure washers, some metal and conduit I bought, and old exhaust pipes, all "frankensteined" together. It's an AR630 pump, "uber flex" type hose on a reel, a couple wands, tips, a foam cannon, and stainless Q C fittings.

The other one, for the bigger jobs, started life about 15 years ago as a Dewalt 3800 PSI, 4 GPM, Honda 13 HP unit from Home Depot. Over the years, I swapped out the upright frame for a "low-boy" aluminum one, replaced/upgraded the CAT pump, added the hose reel, Flexzilla hose, lots of tips and wands and trigger guns. I also have a Erie Tools 20 inch surface cleaner for cleaning the deck, the dock, and driveway. One thing about the Honda engine, it may sit for up to a year, but 1-2 pulls and it starts right up.

I just got one of the new giraffe wall mounted ones. It's nice not having to pull everything out each time I want to use it. I'm using it a ton more than my old karcher. The self retracting reel is great.

Here's the long version of that picture.

The CR has worked well. I just use it for the final rinse and haven't had any water spot issues.
