BEST PRESSURE WASHER FOR MOBILE CAR DETAILING SET UP? | Active 2.0
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 сер 2024
- How does the New Active 2.0 Electric Pressure Washer hold up in a mobile detailing set up. In my mobile detail van I use a basic gravity fed system. That means that there is no pump between my water tank and my pressure washer. Gravity alone is feeding the water in to my pressure washer. I wanted to test and see how the new Active 2.0 would work in this situation. I will be running this off of my Generator and I will be using a 50' pressure washer hose. I will also be testing the psi and gpm with the gravity fed system to see if that changes any of the performance. ENJOY!!!

I already tried to buy this unit for black friday and I lost the discount because my bank blocked my card, I hope to be the winner of this pressure washer. thanks for doing this Josh 😎👍
I have a ve52. Had one of the originals. Called them about the power surge with the longer hose. They sent me a new unit. No problems. Love this company so far
Great to hear!
Thank you for the update and the future updates Josh. Love that you listen to your viewers feedback so well
As much as I love the Active 2.0, $350 for what I would deem as only a car wash tool since I can't get the higher PSI for heavy duty, I feel the V52 or even a Ryobi is better for me since I don't have a business or use in a professional setting
It is specifically designed for 2gpm at 1000psi and 200 hours. Nothing more, nothing less. No where in the advertising does it claim to be a do-it-all.
@@timkinley1779 Yes I know, I am just reflecting on it from a cost perspective personally for a one use tool.
Cost perspective like you said, as a consumer for home use applications and not simply for washing vehicles you are absolutely correct. There is so much more value that you can get out of a for example gas pressure washer to clean your house sidings your concrete, etc. But when you are simply looking to wash something that doesn’t require high pressure (washing a vehicle) this is the absolute best in terms of price to performance.
@@ServrHax Yep all fair points guys!
I was thinking about this as well… ryobi $100 vs active $330.. 1.4 GPM vs 2.0 GPM. 900 PSI vs 1050 PSI… I might stick with my ryobi and save some cash.
I just picked up from Lowes a Craftsman 1800 psi for $119 and it works great. You don’t need anything more than 1800 psi for auto detailing washing. I’ll never but a pressure washer that has an onboard soap tank as many have.
You want more GPM for faster rinsing and more foam. This means lower PSI. 1k-1200 is good
Ryobi 1800 is still going strong for me. This will probably be the next unit I purchase when the Ryobi dies
Does a foam cannon hook up automatically with the ryobi 1800? Or do u have to buy additional part to hook up a foam cannon? I have the griots brilliant finish foam cannon
@@NightmareonAnyStreet_ I have a Kobrajet hose and an MTM sgs28 spray gun. I don’t use anything from the kit other than the unit itself so I wouldn’t be able to answer that at the moment.
Me to ❤and the 2100
Did it die yet?
@@theunkownmr.562 funnily enough, it has not died, but I did break down and ordered the Active 2.0 this week
So would you recommend the Active 2.0 pressure washer over the Greenworks 2300 or 2700 psi pressure washer for mobile detailing?
next suggestion on content would be best inverter generator for mobile detailing
Definitely agree with that! I see a ton of predator 3500s but that doesn’t seem like enough juice.
Any surging so far? Have a Uberflex 50ft house and that is main reason I’m thinking about the AR630
Thanks so much for all your videos, Josh. Really awesome job!
A good informative vid, thanks for posting it. Looks like a solid value, for what you're getting. Time will tell 👍🏽
Another one in the books!!!!
Update on the machine? Any problems after a few months??
Nice work Josh, but running that generator would drive my clients and their neighbours nuts. Surely this client could let you plug into his power and water. I haven’t got one client that doesn’t let me connect to their power and water. FYI I run a Karcher K2 with your UberFlex update (bought from your links) and its been unbelievably good. I’ve already done about 100 hours with it and it hasn’t skipped a beat. It’s the best $AUD129 I’ve spent in my setup. It replaced a Ryobi very heavy 2400psi machine with a hose reel that has been relegated to paver cleaning around the house (and the thing I trip over most in my storage area 😂😂😂) Lloyd
For interior work a lot of the times you will overload the clients power supply and that’s very unprofessional. I use an inverter generator that’s the most quiet piece of equipment I run. The air compressor is far louder. As far as my business goes I can’t function without my self sustaining ways.
@@PolishedMobileDetailing503 in 6 years I’ve never tripped a circuit. I use surge protected electrical setup and none of these have been tripped either.
What do you do for jobs in parking garages/lots with no power or water source?
@@marloncienfuegos1556 these are few and far between. If this is a situation that arises, I either have them drop it off at my place or I will pick up and drop off for a small cost increase.
Will that predator generator run your pressure washer, vacuum and air compressor?
What ceramic coating did you get use of the cars?
*Damn Quad Brows has to Over do the Active 2.0 post! Enough already, we get it!*
Any updates with this unit??? I got one but recently started having some issues with mine less then 8 hours on the unit
Great video I have a question about your generator how to you keep it from putting carbon monoxide inside your van?
I have the exhaust facing out the back of the van and doors are always open while using it. I also always finish with windows and dressing so I turn the generator off right away and that gives it time to air out
Great video. How did it hold up?
Can you do the same test w the VE52 please! Gravity fed in your van setup!
Hi I'm on a budget, what would a good generator be?
You should do a mobile detailing set up video again
I got the pressure washer and it got broken after a couple of months, and I called for the warranty and they told me they cannot give me another one cuz if I use it for detailing it lost the warranty, I thought it was made for detailing 😕
whoa really? thats not great
Love my greenworks 2700 psi
Hey josh I purchased a Simpson mega shot MSH3125 model and I want to start detailing… should I sell it and get an electric pressure washer? ( if I sell it I’m going to try and buy the active 2.0)
You need a battery power blower. I seen that old model in your van.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks for sharing will consider trying it out vs my ole reliable ryobi
@IMJOSHV are you running the Active 2.0 with the 1.25mm or 1.5mm orifice in your spray gun for best foam results?
How did this thing hold up
Thank you for this video, it answered my question about hooking it to a water tank, and because of your other video I didn't purchase from the obsessed garage, but I went through your links, btw I didn't get very good customer service from them. Thanks again Claude Harris #OGDetailer
Hey Josh. I have a 2500W Generac generator and a 33 gallon water tank that gravity feeds my active 2.0 with the original pressure washer hose (nothing upgraded). Upon plugging the water inlet into the active 2.0, and connecting the active gun, I get no water through my system and the pressure washer sounded like it was working super hard and could not prime. I believe my water pressure is low. I did not face this issue feeding my 2.0 with a garden hose in my garden while being powered by my generator. It primed right away. Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong? Thanks
Josh, Ty for all the videos and information. With that said, will you be doing anything with the Absolute rinse-less wash?
Really nice setup Josh 👍😁
I could barely do my one 2022 Honda Civic and you guys do multiple cars without any problem..lol
Does this have enough psi to clean concrete?
It was enough to clean under my foreskin, so yes
Eager to see the long term usage/durability of that PW; although looks like it has the same 2 year warranty as the V52, they could have at least added 1 more year to the warranty since it's supposed to last twice as long. Still great price for performance. The greenworks 2300 has a 3 year warranty (and 10 for the motor) but I hear they have dreadful customer service; on the other hand I've heard Active has really good customer service.
I agree with you on the warranty. They say it's designed it for 200 hours so, I say put an hour meter on it and let's see.
@@imdeplorable2241 we’ve done many tests both steady state and on/off cycling tests to validate this statement. You should have seen the water bill!
I have $1k to spend on a pressure washer walking away from my gas pressure washer and use it solely for walk ways, I am thinking of the AR630TTS $730 with shipping through my whole sale or the Kranzle 1622TTS at $1100 with shipping
What ceramic coating was used in the vehicles?
Can you do test review on the Martha Stewart pressure washer
is it better to use electric pressure washer or gas I hear gas is better ?
Aayyyeeee love the washing footage! If only I had an infinite budget 💯💯💯
The uberflex is making my active 2.0 pump stay on constantly after trigger release. Active support says that uberflex is not compatible. How r u guys making it work
I seriously don't know how you got the active 2.0 with uberflex working properly. It makes the pump run constantly after releasing the trigger. Rep at active even Said uberflex is not made strong enough for this unit.
IWas thinking to Get the Active 2.0 Along with 50Ft Red uberflex, But it still surges?
Would you rather use this over the AR 630tts?
Soo the whole gravity thing with the pressure washer is just about lifting the water tank off the ground?
I find that helps but as long as the water line is above the pressure washer it should be fine. Many of these pressure washers can actually drain from a bucket so in that case you’re totally safe
Yeah the back pressure is what’s killing me on these eletric pressure washers
EXCELLENT
Love the content, only use your tips for my personal use!
Just curious.. those cars belong to anyone famous or "well known"? Has to be someone.. right?? lol
Are you using the 1.25 in the foam cannon or the 1.1? If you are using the 1.1, have you had any probs with it? Have you settled on which orifice tips you will use in the spray wand? Thanks for the vids and info as always.
1.1 should never give any problems with electric pressure washer. I use it in my
Mjjc pro for my detailing business everyday and it works great. My pressure washer is 1900 psi 2.1 gpm
@@alvarorevuelta1224 the 1.1 can create issues with amp draw depending on if the unit is running on a 15a or 20a circuit.
Using a foam cannon with a 1.1mm orifice will trip a 15amp breaker for sure and 1.25 is not far from it as well while using this unit.
Do you inspect cars for scratches before you detail them?
Yeah you should always make note
Josh, why not make more videos of you working on custom vehicles? I mean just look at those cars in this video lol. Each one costs more than my house
I don’t get how he has time for anything other than doing yt vids. Dude works hard.
How much different are the products you use for the exotic/nicer cars or is it all the same stuff?
What generator are you running this on?
Just bought a Predator 5000 and it will not run my Kranzle 1322ts, even after shortening this cord..my patience is running thin and I’m about to just get this unit instead!
May buy this from Adams when they get it back in stock.....You still happy with it?
Nice work
Pre Ordered mine through OG months ago and one of the last to get it.. still waiting :(
What nozzles are you using?
I'm confused as to why you would opt for this type of setup when you still have to run a gas generator constantly. I would think at that point have a gas powered pressure washer and battery powered tools (blower and such). It works either way, it just seems like an extra step with the generator is all.
Love the videos btw, keep up the great informative work please!
Edit/addition: You could also work everything off of an inverter with a battery bank powered by solar on the roof and having it charge off your alternator when the vehicle is running. Just an idea if someone would ever want to get away from having a generator or loud pressure washer.
Still need to run the generator for a vacuum, steamer, air compressor and a extractor and would need more fuel and are alot louder than an inverter generator.
@@brianvalera6412 Hey! Fair enough! Not a pro here was just curious btw
Hence the term 'mobile'.
@@timkinley1779 gas pressure washers aren't mobile? Plus there's other ways to power things on the go.
@@MrGallonofpcp Allows for flexibility.
Do you rinse it first, or do you foam it first?
Great video
Glad you enjoyed it
How much does the Active VE52 weigh?
Hello Josh could you please help me, what would you recommend to use on a client's car that has had paint spilled on the floor carpets, nothing got on the leather just on the carpeted floor boards Thank you! This is if it were relatively a new spill like just an hour or 2.
Hope you aren't still waiting for a response....
Thank you ;)
Wow nice
@imjoshv I bought the 50ft flexzilla hose and CAT pressure washer. When I hook up the hose and test the trigger, there is a slight delay of approx. 1 second from letting go of the trigger until the machine stops. With the standard hose the machine stops immediately. Do you know if that is expected when using flexible hoses or longer hoses of 50ft.?
Yea that makes sense, it’s the increase of extra back pressure in the hose due to the extra length
I purchased the adams 2.0 pressure washer that was honestly a nightmare. Not enough flow @ all... I am purchasing the active 2.0. What do I need to connect my Uber flex to the units supply (m14 x22). For my foam cannon, gauge ect. Basically what do I need to purchase to fully hook this up(quick connect wise) ? I need quick connects for both ends of the Uber flex?
I have the Adam's 2.0 and while it's decent I am purchasing to Active 2.0 through Adam's. They have a package with a 60' hose, quick connects and stubby gun w/swivel for 80$ more.
Do you still use this in your mobile setup?
Hey Josh what can I use to easily remove bugs From my car after a long trip?
Thank you.
Have a good layer of protection beforehand. Then wash as normal. I'll usually apply product before a long trip. Never an issue.
What’s the update on this ?
Yeah!
I'm debating between an AR 630 TSS or K1322TSS or Active 2.0 for mobile detailing. I don't have a generator, would you go with an active 2.0 so I don't need to worry about the customer having a 20 amp outlet or buy a servicable high end AR 630 or 1322TSS AND SPEND THE MKNEY ON A generator?
Debating save exactly one bit using at my home. I just installed a 20A dedicated circuit to cover all of them. What did you end up with? Why that one? Thoughts on it so far?
@@user-tg3gv6ty9v I have a Kranzle 1322TSS setup as a wall mounted set up. I do most jobs out of my garage and some mobile detailing jobs. I thought about getting the Kranzle 1622 because it can run off a 15A circuit. It cost more then the 1322TSS so I decided since most of my jobs are out of my garage I got the Active 2.0. If I did more mobile detailing I would have gotten the AR 630TSS due to the gpm it has and it’s a serviceable unit. The Active 2.0 is doing good but my favorite pw is the 1322TSS.
What were those cars ceramic coated with? Pretty amazing!
I believe its a gyeon coating
Hi. I am interested to know with the gravity fed system, do you get a drop off in pressure washer performance as the tank empties? Thank you.
No. The output hose and valves determine flow. Static head pressure doesn't push more through the pump. As long as the required gmps are met, there is no difference.
No change at all.
Good afternoon Josh! Today I just received my mjjc foam cannon and I tried it out for like 8 seconds then after there was no foam coming out of it just water. I followed all instructions and nothing else did I do that would cause any harm. Can you please help me out with this? Can I return it? Or get and exchange?
Not sure if mine was just a defective one?
IMJOSHV Does it really matter what diameter hose you use? Can I use the uberflex and still hit 2gpm?
It all has to go through the smaller orifice of the nozzle so the hose shouldn’t make a difference. I was able to get right about 2gpm with the uberflex hose!
Would you suggest the Active 2.0 or AR 630 TSS for mobile detailing?
Did you buy one of those? Think I’m going to buy one of them Black Friday.
@@user-tg3gv6ty9v I got the active 2.0 I don’t do a lot of mobile jobs.
So a longer hose makes your pressure weaker.?
no
How are you using the uberflex with this machine? My brand new active 2.0 with the uberflex doesn't seem to like it. The pump stays on after you release the trigger. Active just told me that uberflex is not compatible? How did you get it to work?
I have the set up with uberflex 50' and MTM trigger etc and no problems at all.
This thing still holding up?
Hell Yeahh!!!!!
Any chance of you actually keeping track of the hours of run time?
Nothing too scientific but I can look at the jobs done and each job typically has the unit on for about 30 min so I’ll factor it out that way
What would you say is the ideal pressure washer for home use out of all the ones you tested? thx
We would definitely say (as noted above) that this for most any and all home applications is ideal - not just auto cleaning. If you need more pressure, go gas.
I have the cheaper Amazon Basics foam cannon I found on Josh’s link and wanted to make sure I am using the right orifice for it since I just ordered a new Active 2.0 from Cameron who was very helpful. So for my Amazon basics foam cannon can I use a 1.1mm or what size orifice should I use for my foam cannon to get the most foam without hurting the pump or anything on the Active? Thanks in advance
Your code doesn’t work 😢
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
I'm so on the fence with the 2.0 and the v52 because I won't be using it in a professional setting and the numbers are so dang close. The 100 dollar difference has me stuck lol. I'm a tight ass with money....... OG is doing their giveaway so if the 2.0 is part of that I'll buy it there I think lol
The ve52 pump is rated for 100hrs of use while the 2.0 is rated at 200hrs
@@iMakeURaGez yeah I know. But for me the weekend warrior I'll get my 250 worth out of the 100 hours I'm sure of it lol. But I mean 350 for 200 hours. The value is def there.
@@no_lft_shft yea it's a tough call for me too but those extra 100 hrs are something to consider
@@iMakeURaGez especially when it costs half the price. You figure the 52 is 250 for 100 hours, x2 that and you'd be at 500. But with the 2.0 it's only 350 so you're actually saving 150 bucks lol. This train of thought is exactly why my girl doesn't like me spending time on Amazon lol
@@no_lft_shft It comes down to mostly usage in my mind. Someone who uses it a few hrs a month it’d take 5 yrs to hit 100hrs. Pros need reliability or a good warranty to keep swapping em out.
Gas Generator defeats the purpose of a electric power washer. You still have all that noise during idle when not using the water. Unless you get a battery generator

@@MasrSR Still no power, lots of landslides, temporary bridges collapsed washed out by the rivers overflowed, over 1000 people rescued because of overflowed areas. My family in the southern cities of Juana Diaz and Ponce(named after Juan Ponce de León) are alright. Homes here are made of concrete and if built per code they are resistant to beyond category 5 hurricanes if windows are protected with hurricane shutters.
@@1stfrompuertorico568 would you say it's a materials issue or just plain money issue with some houses not being built to code ? If i lived on the island I would want something hurricane proof for sure ...
@@MasrSR The materials are here for sure so are the engineers and architects with a building plan, so it's a money issue. Some people have to build according to their resources. It's like in the states, you have mobile homes and when you have a hurricane or a tornado, Which do you think will suffer? The less resistant, and in the states most homes aren't able to withstand over a category 3 because normally they don't have this type of hurricanes or even tornadoes until they happen. They are built to withstand cold temperatures and are built from wood because is less expensive and do not crack with freezing temperatures like happens with concrete. So now you see many homes in Florida, low Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas how homes are built more resistant to these types of situations.

Have now used this to clean house siding and it performed well ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX I also bought some wand extensions which enabled higher washing without needing a ladder. I recommend both. This unit arrived quickly, was easy to assemble (only had to attach the handle), and arrived in perfect condition. The only very slight downgrade from a perfect score is the design has a low handle and requires pulling from the side. My old washer was an upright model, while this one is more horizontal. Other than that, it's perfect for my needs. It has a great deal of pressure and more easily cleaned the house siding, porch rails and concrete than did my older model. The engine is a bit louder, as well, but the total time to clean was reduced by the more powerful spray. Did I mention it starts on the first or second pull every time?!! I am definitely happy with this model.
€330+ for the washer... uuuuhhhh no!!!
Great video
