I'm inquiring on this one for it looks like it will do the jobs I need. It has the soap container built in on the cart. It has 3 power washer tips. This is basically what other posted in what they did to their house. So far I havent read any problems yet. The only obvious con is the height if the cart. I'm also considering in just using this once or twice every 2 years.

PS. I like to get the the other power washer model they're offering in Bi-Mart coz I always like buying from them (supporting local business). There are reviews from 2 or 3 customers that the pump get shot in 5 hours of use. Bot sure yet if that's always the case. The closest local buy that I can see it is Best Buy

That's the same features as my Ryobi. Pro tip: Don't use the rotating tip on your car. I'm sure they tell you not to in the instructions, but if you get it too close, it will remove anything glued on, stickers, even paint sometimes. On mine it will take moss off of absolutely anything though.

I blast my grocery getter at the carwash once a week around 4:30am then drive fast to work to dry till I get 5:30 in Clackamas. The Austin and the MG I just handwash it with wax and water. I haven't use a soap on it over 20 years now.

What kind of wax are you using to wash the cars? Is it a liquid type you're pouring into the bucket first? First I've heard anyone doing that.

Back when I was a kid I was really into car detailing. The go-to from the professionals was to use a mild ratio of Dawn. I guess that's changed.

Wax and water is an old term from not using a soap. Soap takes off a coating film from your car. It will degrade in time. Just wash it with water and terry towel. When it drys up wax it with a very good category of liquid Carnuba wax. Like a red Meguiar. I'm using a different brand but its basically the same.
If you want glass finish (like showroom) I can tell you a bit of it but not everyone does it because there are steps that are not common practices and can be a risk to your paint finish. This photo was taken 3 years ago and the car was painted in 1987. Which is an example of how I maintain my car.

Started building a list that a friend has been asking me for, of guns and ammo/accessories in my future list, he is planning on ordering some stuff...

A basic for what I can remember currently, there are more to add, current list is about 10k including some not out yet or I hope will be made.

Eventually I'll be organizing alot more...

Once or twice a year I blast my daily monthly driver with my pressure washer to remove the mold/moss that grows on it and the leaves/etc., then I go to the car wash and ask for "The Works".

The truck and pickup just get blasted with the pressure washer - they get a lot more mold/moss because they sit a lot more.
