4 Upgrades Your Pressure Washer Needs 

Lol. The upgrades cost more than the pressure washer 4x

This reminds me of those box Honda cars that are like $1500 dollars but they put $2000 rims and $1500 stereo system and $800 exhaust 😂

This is what a near end game pressure washer setup looks like. Yall can save your money with this setup. Grip: sgs28 for around $70 or if you don’t need swivel the sg28 is $34 and a great low budget option is the harbor freight stubby grip at $25. For the tips all the mtm aqualine ones with the rubber are about $30 but you can get bare 40 degree tips anywhere for about $5. And a great hose would be anything flexzilla with the 50 foot one being about $40. Unless your pressure washer is wall mounted you don’t need more than 50 feet and anything less will have you hauling your pressure washer everywhere. Here’s my ideal setup if you’re just starting and want a super low budget build: Ryobi 1800psi 1.2gpm electric pressure washer $100, harbor freight stubby grip $25, flexzilla 50’ hose $40, and a nozzle kit from harbor freight for $20 totaling $235.

People who haven’t detailed for money don’t realize how much better these upgrades make your life

I agree the upgrades are a must buy you can get all those for $150 total for good brands. Most expensive is the hose.

Quality Quick disconnects and quick shut off valves changed my life haha. My favorite upgrade

If you're worried about hitting the paint with the nozzle you're too close to the paint.

Remember these guys run a business - so these are investments for efficiency gains.

McKillan's gun and bent wand, Uberflex hose, pressure gauge, tips in different sizes to dial in your psi and gpm, tip holder, STA-BIL pump protector

140 for a hose attachment and a nozzle guard 😭😭😭😭

He speaks facts. Even wiv a more expensive washer you don't get those conveniences as standard.

Just get a better washer and skip them upgrades ❤😂

this is the washer I have but with a 50 ft uberflex hose on a swivel McKillans gun. also using a 3.5 green nozzle tip flowing 1.6 gpm at 900 psi. perfect for washing.

Got that mtm gun I just clean my own cars at home but my god I love it

You should let your viewers know if they get a Karcher, they should be mindful of the outlet size is a M22 15mm fitting. Meaning, not any pressure hose or Quick Connects will automatically fit. They may need some adapters to covert the more common M22 14mm hoses out there, as well as the quick connects.

I use the ryobi 1800/1.2gpm paired with a Toolcy snubby, and 50ft Toolcy flexible-kink free hose and an AstroAi foam cannon. All lesser known, cheaper options on the upgrades, but I swear by this combo. It has served me well for about a year and a half now. I’m not a pro detailer, but do detail as a side hustle so it gets plenty of use/abuse and so far has handled it great. MTM hydro, Mckillans, I’m sure it great too but waaay overpriced.

I was half expecting this to be a joke, but after reading the comments I get it. Seems kind or ridiculous tho if you buy an expensive one you still need some of these upgrades, but such is life. I’m in the market for a pressure washer upgrade from my little electric WEN. Something I can use also for wet sandblasting..

Just bought a short hand hose for 20 bucks and the original hose may not be very long but I have no problem carrying my little ryobi 1600 psi pressure washer around. Plus the pressure washer only cost $60 bucks.

I have the Active 2.0 and i agree with everything but the hose part. I like a flimsier hose than the extremely rigid ones. Personally i like 1/4" and 50 feet. Maybe $80-$100 for a good one.

The Ryobi 1800 psi pressure washer is the best bang for your buck if you’re doing car washing/detailing. It’s $99 and you can afford the new gun to go with for the price of the Karcher

Another tip: increase the gpm of the tip to reduce psi and increase water flow ;). Easier on your system too.

I need that pressure washer for now lol

Jesus the way he said Kärcher😂😂

Great vid thanks

Flexzilla hose every time

Ar630, enough said💯

Agree 100%. Great video 👍🏻

Everyone in here saying you should’ve bought a more expensive pressure washer to begin with washes their car with a hose 🤣

This is advise for those running a car washing business, not personal use

Thanks for your video. I am a car detailing enthusiast and bought MTM SGS28 recently. However, I am a bit of dilemma which Karcher to buy to wash my car once every 2 weeks and thinking to buy Karcher K3. How can I adjust the pressure after connecting this MTM gun to Karcher 3? Karcher gun has its own pressure choice, but this gun does not have the pressure choice. Thanks in advance. Best Regards,

Upgrading the tip is important 😏

Some pros say.the lower the pressure the cleaner it cleans?

Just get the Active 2.0. It's the best entry level pressure washer.

my body shook when he said the name of the brand

just get the harbor freight gun it’s 25 and get the cheap ass Pressue washer from Home Depot. Foam cannon anything from amazon it works just fine trust me I’ve been doing this for a minute.

Use the money on the upgrades to get yourself a nice greenworks pressure washer. You won't be dissapointed

How did he detach the hose from the gun?

Question, on the nozzle guard what’s the difference between 40 degrees 2.0 40 degrees 3.0 40 degrees 4.0 ?

I wonder if it’s possible to just buy the pressure washer bare bones especially when you may already have the upgrades?

So basically, buy a different pressure washer that comes with the good stuff. 😂

I have the same pressure washer What generator runs best with this unit I run out of my vehicle so a smaller unit would be great if they work !!

The standard hose is fine 😂

You might as well buy a quality PW if you are going to up grade with extra parts.

Stock electric pressure washers suck... the average 2000 psi is good enough but its the gpm that makes them useless. The trick is to open up the case and get to the pump assembly. Now take off the pump inlet valve and unloader outlet because the bore is too small and doesnt allow enough water in. Theres 3 types of inlet and outlet connections either threads, cotter pin or quick connect and the size is universal. Order new ones online with a larger bore... viola

Love your video's man! I own a part time business, if that makes any sense. 🤙🤙

His prices are insane! You can get way better stuff for way cheaper.

have a bosch aquatack 120. can i change the hose ??

My $13 short pressure washing wand works great probably just as great as that $130 one

Buying similar upgrades causes my new pressure washer to surge. K2 KARCHER, but putting the stock wand and hose on makes it spray properly. Any suggestions on what I'm doing wrong 🤔

its some pricey ass upgrades. A 35 dollar hose and gun off amazon will do you just fine.

Just buy a quality washer once

My Karcher 1700 quit working after 3 -4 uses. Completely dead and this was after fairly light duty. Mine was used to clean the outside of a trailer once a year. I am extremely disappointed.

Can I get it shipped based in New zealand

I rather buy a Honda and place a spoon engine in it with a t66 turbo some nose and a motec exhaust.

Where can I buy all those stuff?

Links and examples of quality gear please.

How loud is it? Where did you find that nossle guard? The pressure washer hose connection is the same for all hoses right? Just curious if I use my current hose and just change the pressure washer for this one if its quieter. Gas or electric?

What size nozzle guard do you recommend?

I found some other stubby guns and hoses for my karcher k4 compact that work great. Karcher is great but the hoses and guns are horrible

That tip cost more than my foam cannon and gun combined😂

can you put a pressure regulator on these electric pressure washers?

It's actually $110 on Amazon right now.

Bro they make other products are really good and way cheaper. For the homeowner of course. Pros sure, it’s different.

And the fittings cost $150, assuming you can find the right ones. That's a huge issue with Karcher

And the hose swivel

Where you get the holes bro?

The yellow perils are a waste of money they only have a working life of between 50 and 100 hours all because they have plastic internals which fail dramatically you’ve done upgrades that are usually standard especially the hose on better made pressure washers

Or just buy something like the little dewalt electric pressure washer that u atleast don't need a new wand or if ur gonna spend 400 bucks just buy a nicer one to begin with

Where you buy that exact type of hose

Just get the whole set up at OG

I have a friend in Tanzania that wants to get into this business. He doesn't have access to decent equipment. Where can he get a power or pressure washer from, near eastern Africa.

not sure how you can say it's a great pressure washer for $140 if it costs another $320 on upgrades to make itto make it usable , basically just spend $450 on a proper jetwash

How about I don’t buy the washer and buy one with all the upgrades on it already

So another words just buy a good three or $400 pressure washer from the start and then you don’t have to do any extra purchases because just two of the items you talked about equals over $300

For the ppl talking abt the upgrades y’all should ask me that I own a pressure washing business,most of my equipment cost the same or double as my pressure washers😂

All the upgraded prices 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Longer… sturdier… hose ? ;)

Bro the gun itself cost just as much as the fucking pressure washer

what hose do you upgrade with?

What was the hose?

Full machine $120 cost of plastic attachment $1000

Just get a better one 😊

Where can the mtm gun an blue nozzle guard be purchase??

That foam cannon threading is GARBAGE! 3 uses and it's TOTALLY stripped of plastic.

As a person from third world country Uganda, I can to learn what to get. These are too expensive. 😢. Where is the budget stuff.

U have a $5 dollar old ass pressure washer and ur telling us to buy a $140 hose and new gun attachments ! I don't know who ur selling products for because your getting screwed on what ur paying for pressure washer attachments lol And U make the statement that you have a wonderful amazing pressure washer bro I think that was a kids radio lol

Let me save you some time. Get a McKillans stubby gun for 50 bucks. Get an Uberflex/Flexzilla hose for 50 bucks. Skip the $40 rubber spray tip... you shouldn't be anywhere close enough to your paint using a pressure washer to "accidentally" hit the car.

So basically the power washer costs $320 dollars.

So now we've got a $500 pressure washer. I'd rather just buy a better one to start with add a flexilla, Amazon wand, quick connects, and a 1.1 orifice.

The more I watch your videos, if I was a customer and see the “ unprofessional “ things you do I would walk right out. That thing you call a pressure washer is a toy. All the upgrade had to cost kore than the pressure washer. Get yourself a professional pressure washer. In one of my detail shops that is 80’x 100’ I have two ( 2 ) professional electric wall mounted pressure washers. They are 230V 1 phase, 1500PSI. I also bought hose reels that are mouthed to the wall with 100’ of 3/8 non marking hose. I mounted a stainless tell shelf with all the attachments. I have a nozzle holder mounted to the wand to keep all the nozzles within reach for quick change. For 1634.00 get yourself a professional pressure washer and for 200.00 more get a hose reel and mount it to the wall. We normally completely foam 4 cars at one time and let the foam work for about 4-5 minutes then foam again and ONE person washes all four vehicles. When they are done with one it gets moved to another part of the garage and the detailing begins. Anything from complete paint correction, to simple hand wax to ceramic coatings. If your trying to save money buying a “ homeowner “ pressure washer it’s going to fail and cost you even money in the end.

If you need rubber tip guards , you are using the pressure washer the wrong way.

No swivel?

For the amount of upgrade cost you can find a better electric power washer that comes with those things. Google is a friend. LoL

Yo this guy really getting ripped off with these prices

Then buy for 1000€ new one better no need to buy upgrade!

He’s right the stock gun and hose are garbage

Karcher 140$ , upgrade 400$! Buy karcher for600 $ and thats it

And finally upgrade your machine by buying another machine with higher pressure and it’s just cost $800. Thank you for watching.

there are good products for much cheaper

Bro spent more money on the hose and gun than the washer.
