I bought a pressure washer, quick connects, 50-foot hose, wand and a low-cost foam cannon based on your recommendations and couldn't be happier with my setup. Everything works flawlessly and I have you to thank for it Josh.
This man is seriously pumping out quality and consistent content daily. Like how do you run a damn business and upload UA-cam videos daily. It's insane. It really is. This man puts in fucking work!
Just bought a Simpson 3400 psi and all your recommended accessories. Just delivered today, so I need to connect all the quick disconnect fittings. Looking forward to using it to clean my boat and clean a few neighbors driveways. Find your videos very interesting and look forward to seeing them, thanks for making a boring subject fun to watch.
One item that I've found to be quite helpful that you overlooked: adding a water shut-off valve to the hose (between the hose end and the QD adapter). It avoids having to make the trip to the house water valve before disconnecting the hose, and further avoids all that water gushing and spurting out of the hose when it's first disconnected. An added benefit is that it retains water in the hose, so the next time it's used, you don't have to wait for the air in the hose to be evacuated. And it also saves a tiny amount of water with each connection/disconnection.
@@SPPACATR Why do you think it would be bad? It wouldn't be any different than turning it off at the valve before disconnecting. You can even disconnect the M22 hose - turn the garden hose valve back on to flush it, turn it back off, and disconnect. I've been doing it for years with a Sun Joe SPX3000!
Josh!! This is hilarious! I just did this exact set up for my pressure washer. I used all the recommended upgrades you suggested, and it's awesome!! Can't beat the 50 foot hose upgrade, mind you I used the Flexzilla hose. Thanks for going into detail! Makes washing the car way easier! Cheers Bud!
Josh, You have a great channel. Thanks for your constructive input. Bit the bullet and upgraded from my battery power washer to a pressure washer setup based on your input. My one main deviation was the pressure washer, found a Karcher K1700 for $99. Im 67 and still take care of my cars, so my constànt goal is wash smarter not harder. Thanks for all your help!
Your the man bro....About a month and a half ago I pretty much bought the hose, connections, stubby and the like all from your suggestions. Absolutely love it and enjoy cleaning my vehicle....I always found it kind of ZEN when doing so. The neighbors though are talking lolz....They think Im perhaps a little crazy haha 😛😛
EXCELLENT series, Josh. You helped me decide to purchase and set up my first pressure washer (Ryobi TSS electric) and the necessary upgrades (hose, quick connects for starters). Saved me a long and frustrating learning curve. Especially appreciate your relaxed approach for first-timers. Well-done!
i got the same setup but insted of buying a 22-15 to 22-14 adapter, i got a 22-15 and a 22-14 quick connects and used the male 22-15 and female 22-14 from each of the quick connects just to save some space and don’t have a very long set of connections between pressure hose and pressure washer.
I upgraded my pressure washer and could not believe how easy it has become for me to use it. All upgrades were from quick connections to a 50 foot flex holes to a cannon gun and I even changed out the orifice for better foam action. Best advice. Thanks for sharing, I enjoy your videos and yes I use my pressure washer more than ever.
Josh, you have taught me so much about the details of detailing. I recently have added these upgrades to my setup and they've made car maintenance so much more enjoyable. The only thing I did differently is I got the MTM sgs28 gun and built nozzles with rubber guards. Thanks for sharing the wisdom.
Thanks Josh. I set up my pressure washers similarly with QD's, but at the high pressure unit output use a female QD fitting. That way it's just like electrical extension cords...male plugs in, then if desired, multiple hoses can be linked together for reaching way out for some project requiring that.
Just received & tested Ryobi 1600 / quick connects / hose / wand / mjjc foam cannon / 2.5/3.0 orfice. Getting ready to get started with my mobile detailing biz soon. Thanks for the great review! 🎉
I got the 1900 Ryobi just yesterday , but am taking it back to get the 1800 (and $50) today! Matt at the obsessive garage channel says they both have the same pump and motor...but add a few fancy doo dads and slightly reduce orifice size to get the 1900 PSI. Vid title; The Pressure Washing Project: E23 - Testing The New Ryobi Products
Thank you for the info! I’ve been dragging my feet on these upgrades for a year, and you just helped me pull the trigger😂🤫. Thanks for all of your content👍🏻🤘🏻
Bought this setup with the premium upgrades to the short wand love it! Awesome video and now I have an awesome setup. I’ll never go to another car wash again!
Ive been watching your videos a lot, used your links to get my items. I am washing LARGE objects so it's wash a section, manual agitate, rinse. So I am switching from foam canon to nozzle pretty frequently. In this case, where are you putting your wash wand when you are scrubbing? I'm not goimg to put it on the ground and I am not using a cart that I could put it on.
Hi Josh, New sub here, I'm setting up a hotel reel, wall mounted set up. I am using my existing K2 karcher, is it possible to buy karcher to quick connect hoses?
Great tips josh I switched all to quick connect also did not like the hose holder so I bought a electrical cord reel and zip tied to the front it holds the 50 ft Uber flex hose perfect 👍
@@MrMykeymusic it was a black cord reel on Amazon 12 bucks and I put it an the face of the pressure washer I just wrap the hose around I did not like the original as the hose kept dragging on the ground
Idk if this has come up already, and I’m sorry if its been talked about a million times already, but i haven’t heard you mention it in any videos yet so thought I’d throw it out there. i needed a new hose immediately so ran to Walmart and bought the better looking of the two options they had, which was labeled as a “Black Max” 35’ high-flexability hose. When i got home and opened it up i was really happy with the design and quality which made sense once i noticed the small writing down the the length of the hose said “uberflex by propulse”. It’s only 35’ but works great as an extension and its nice to know that getting an Uberflex at Walmart is option if you ever need a replacement immediately.
Hi and thanks for the comment! Yea i actually made a seperate video about that. The black max at walmart is the uberflex and a great option! And i think 35' is a good length. I like the 50 for my purposes but in most cases 35 is enough!
Josh, I ended up making a new pressure washer setup based on videos you've made. Just got the final piece today (the Craftsmen 1700psi tiny one that you've shown before). I ended up getting that, a MATCC stubby pressure washer gun, a Black Max (Uberflex) 35' pressure hose, a 50' Flexzilla garden hose, a Griot's Garage Boss Foam Cannon, and a bunch of quick connect adapters. Tried it tonight to make sure everything works and there are no leaks, and it's perfect! Such a huge improvement over my completely stock Sun Joe pressure washer and $20 foam cannon I was using. Stupid question for you: how do you wind up your pressure washer hose? I was wrapping it up using my elbow and the palm of my hand as the two points of contact but I'd like it to be wrapped more tightly than that. I see yours is, so I'm wondering if there's an easy way I'm not thinking of.
Thank you Josh ! I wrote you with having issues figuring out how to set all the things up and you referenced a older video but it worked great and I figured it all out. Thank you 😊
Very useful, thank you. I've been looking at upgrading my hose and gun and there's so many different connectors and adapters, it's hard to know which ones to get.
Josh last question for this week. You said to use the Technicians Choice as a wipe down for the interior. I see you spraying a cleaner heavily on the door panels and using a brush to wipe it in, then you rub it off with a Microfiber Towel. What is that product? I have everything I need except a good interior cleaner for the door panel and DashBoard. Thanks in advance
Hi Josh, after watching several of your videos I took the plunge and bought a Stanley shp 2150 pressure washer with MJJC foam sprayer, snubby gun, black max hose along with the quick disconnect adapters you recommended. As always great videos that are inspiring.
Walmart just released the Hart Spot cleaner and it's different from the 3-in-1 you reviewed before. I'm thinking about getting one and I'd like to see a review first
Quick connects is the best item I ever bought for my pressure washer, thanks Josh for introducing the Amazon set. I just purchased the UberFlex hose. What is your recommendation on storing the hose?
Sorry if you haven't addressed this in previous videos, but I have to ask. In this video, Retractable Garden Hose Reel! | How to store your garden hose | GiraffeTools Review, at the 2.15 mark, there is a hose real that has a grey hose hooked up to your pressure washer. Do you have a video on this or can you explain the set up. I'm only going to using my PW for auto details close to the garage and that would be perfect. Also, today (May 30) I picked up the SunJoe model SPX2598-ELT from Menards. While going through the stuff in the box I was surprised that they included the adapter to use an aftermarket hose. I verified using a caliper that the end that went into the washer was 15mm and the inside diameter on the other end was indeed 14mm. Kudos to them.
I just bought an Uberflex “type” hose on Amazon for all of $36 PLUS an included set of adapters PLUS a 10 percent coupon. We’ll see how good it is. My assumption for many goods that appear to be knockoffs is that they are from the same factories but merely lack the same branding. My foam cannon is years old and purchased on eBay for far less than what Chemical Guys wanted for their identical unit - minus the sticker on the container. Warning to users of these hoses: keep them away from the muffler of any gas powered pressure washer. Ask me how I know - and, funny thing, the new hose has that warning printed right on it.
I'm looking to build a washing station in my garage, what electric unit would you recommend under $300? I plan on getting your recommended upgrades with hose, reel, quick connects, foam cannons and wand.
I wish he showed this exact setup, but with a reel, reason being is I only see reels with 3/8 hose connections so I want to see if there’s possible adaptions to be able to use those reels but with flex zilla hose
Thank you so much for all the helpful videos. Hey I have never used a foam cannon nor a pressure washer, but from the Homdex's instructions, it says to not add water to the concentrated solution as the washer would be the one to dilute it. So should I keep my newly bought Mr Pink concentrated or still add water per your instructions?
I have the same setup other than I have the craftsman 2100 psi pressure washer, my Uber flex hose is awesome, I have no shade in my driveway and I finally tried out my CR SPOTLESS deionizer and man what a difference, you’ve made awesome recommendations and I appreciate it, thanks Josh 👍😁
Nice!! I have the original Active and it surges 🤦♂️ I’m wanting to get something different but without breaking the bank. I was my car every Sunday and use all the right stuff. What’s your favorite sub $300 pressure washer? I guess the one with the most GPM is best.
The quick connects on my Portland water leak. Not a lot but I’m here posting. Also the Portland doesn’t stop the motor with the new accessories. It could be my machine, but I figure I would ask here
I've watched this video so many times. I still don't know what I need for quick connects for Ryobi washer. And are the fittings in the link real brass or coated crap metal that looks like brass?
Josh you have any plans of making a video for polishing out scratches from glass. Mine recently got keyed by some jerk. I tried leveling it down with 1000 then 2000 grit paper along with M110 and M205. It got better but just decided to replace the glass today.
Josh…I lost the quick connect from hose to pressure washer( wife misplaced it..lol). What is the size and do they sell it as a stand alone?? Thx ..love your content
Great video as always! Thanks to your previous videos on these topics I upgraded my pressure washer hose and added all the quick connects to my setup which makes setting up a detail a breeze. Any chance we could get a review on one or a few steam vacuums?
I have a Sun Joe Pressure washer. Had to get the adapter. Still leaks. And now my Adam's foam cannon spits and sputters mostly water. Before AND after soaking it in cleaning vinegar for 24 hours. I'm starting to miss my old cleaning mitten and soap bucket. I could also hear my music and podcasts without the pressure washer racket!
Do you prefer or recommend Brass Quick Connect Fittings or the Stainless Steel ones? Is there a difference between the two materials for longevity? (I.e seizing…..)
This is a great setup video with no BS dragging it out. Just getting to the point. Set up my home kit based on this and I'm super happy. Have one question though, does it matter which direction the coupler's and plugs go? I assume it's better for water flow to have the plugs pointing in the direction of the water flow like you have where the Uberflex connects to the pressure washer, but also saw that the plugs on the gun and foam canon are pointing backwards. Any advise there on whether they should all point the same way, or if it has any impact on GPM?
Hey Josh really hoping you can help me. I recently bought the “pressure washer set up” that you mentioned on your channel. One issue, the foam cannon is blasting out real “watery foam”. I changed the orifice as i am using a Karcher K3.170 electric pressure washer. Both 3M products i am using recommend 1oz 30ml of soap and then fill the rest of the bottle with water. Do i need to shake the bottle or stir the product once the bottle is full? Do I need to use more soap? Thanks you for your channel as you explain things really well and living at the end of the world (New Zealand) it’s really difficult to find these kinds of products in a retail store.
#5 the pressure washing nozzles you said you liked the 3.5 correct ? Check your links, no big deal because I found the 3.5 but your link for that was to the 3.0 but below you could scroll and I found ok. Thank you.
Thanks again for another helpful video. I've watched probably all of your pressure washer reviews and have yet to see you mention using a pump saver product. Based upon your overall experience with the washers is that something you believe to be useful or just not really needed?
The main change which improved the setup was to use a female QD on one side of the hose and a male QD on the other side. It allows you to add in new sections of hose if you need to extend it quickly. You just disconnect and add the hose to your existing hose and you're done. Most of the 3/8" hoses with QD connectors are set up this way with a male QD on one side and a female QD on the other side. You can even order female QD connector adapters with 15mm connections so you don't need the 14mm to 15mm adapter on the pressure washer. It looks cleaner with only one adapter. I also added a high flow valve on the hose side to be able to turn the water on and off at the pressure washer. Its a good feature to have when you want to change wands quickly. You just turn off the unit, turn off the water flow, depressurize the wand and swap out the wand. After that, you just turn the valve back on and then the unit. If you are using a gas powered pressure washer, you will need a high pressure valve instead of turning off the unit.
Josh been following your recommendations and purchasing the items you recommended and they have been great. But one question, do I need to do a IPA wash before laying down my ceramic wax? If so, which should I purchase? Would love to see a video on IPA wash, whether it's necessary or not. Great Videos keep up the good work
Just got a Greenworks 1800 psi 1.1 GPM power washer and the blue hose you suggest. Do I need the adapter? (Don’t have the box in front of me to look it up) And I bought the 2.5 orifice spray tips. So does the 40 degree tip bring it to the correct PSI? I think one of your other videos suggested this. Thanks!
What about the active? What would you use in terms of degree tip? Also if I have a mtm foam cannon I’ve heard if I change the orfice to a 1.1 mm I can damage the pressure washer is this true? If so I would have to use the 1.25
I brought a STIHL RE 110 ELECTRIC WATER PRESSURE 2 Years ago Iv got an quick adapter for it : o, 25, 45, 60 and a soap one . Any suggestions adding a hoes replacement for stihl

I’m wanting to get something different but without breaking the bank. I was my car every Sunday and use all the right stuff. What’s your favorite sub $300 pressure washer? I guess the one with the most GPM is best.
The quick connects on my Portland water leak. Not a lot but I’m here posting.
Also the Portland doesn’t stop the motor with the new accessories. It could be my machine, but I figure I would ask here
I've watched this video so many times. I still don't know what I need for quick connects for Ryobi washer. And are the fittings in the link real brass or coated crap metal that looks like brass?
Please make a same tutorial video on Bosch Aquatak pressure washer series also. Request
THANKS JOSH REALLY HELPFUL
Josh you have any plans of making a video for polishing out scratches from glass. Mine recently got keyed by some jerk. I tried leveling it down with 1000 then 2000 grit paper along with M110 and M205. It got better but just decided to replace the glass today.
Josh…I lost the quick connect from hose to pressure washer( wife misplaced it..lol). What is the size and do they sell it as a stand alone?? Thx ..love your content
Can this set up also work with the Bauer electric power washer
Great video as always! Thanks to your previous videos on these topics I upgraded my pressure washer hose and added all the quick connects to my setup which makes setting up a detail a breeze. Any chance we could get a review on one or a few steam vacuums?
What water hose do you use? Every garden hose I get, busts
Im just trying to connect my foam cannon to a Electric Ryobi , new hose ? Connections ? Help
Did you get it to work?
@ yes, Amazon for some fittings
I have a Sun Joe Pressure washer. Had to get the adapter. Still leaks. And now my Adam's foam cannon spits and sputters mostly water. Before AND after soaking it in cleaning vinegar for 24 hours. I'm starting to miss my old cleaning mitten and soap bucket. I could also hear my music and podcasts without the pressure washer racket!
I have a 1800 psi Ryobi electric pressure washer, do i need a water pump? Im connecting my pressure washer to a 26 gallon water tank
Do you prefer or recommend Brass Quick Connect Fittings or the Stainless Steel ones?
Is there a difference between the two materials for longevity? (I.e seizing…..)
This is a great setup video with no BS dragging it out. Just getting to the point. Set up my home kit based on this and I'm super happy.
Have one question though, does it matter which direction the coupler's and plugs go? I assume it's better for water flow to have the plugs pointing in the direction of the water flow like you have where the Uberflex connects to the pressure washer, but also saw that the plugs on the gun and foam canon are pointing backwards.
Any advise there on whether they should all point the same way, or if it has any impact on GPM?
That’s a great question. I haven’t tested that but I’m 99% sure it doesn’t effect performance
at all. If it does, it’s not a measurable amount
Hey Josh really hoping you can help me. I recently bought the “pressure washer set up” that you mentioned on your channel. One issue, the foam cannon is blasting out real “watery foam”. I changed the orifice as i am using a Karcher K3.170 electric pressure washer. Both 3M products i am using recommend 1oz 30ml of soap and then fill the rest of the bottle with water. Do i need to shake the bottle or stir the product once the bottle is full? Do I need to use more soap? Thanks you for your channel as you explain things really well and living at the end of the world (New Zealand) it’s really difficult to find these kinds of products in a retail store.
Thank you so much for this video
Josh do you have a link to where I can purchase the amp reader unit you have plugged into the wall to check the draw ? Love your channel
What about a hyper tough I think I have to have a adapter the quick connect wont screw onto the presure washer hose hook up
Can I use this set up with a garden house from the house?
#5 the pressure washing nozzles you said you liked the 3.5 correct ?
Check your links, no big deal because I found the 3.5 but your link for that was to the 3.0 but below you could scroll and I found ok. Thank you.
This is exactly what I needed
If you use the quick connect fittings on your gun, do you even need one with a swivel adapter? Or does the quick connect fitting swivel already?
Once it pressurizes quick connects typically tighten up and don’t swivel very much
Thanks again for another helpful video. I've watched probably all of your pressure washer reviews and have yet to see you mention using a pump saver product. Based upon your overall experience with the washers is that something you believe to be useful or just not really needed?
The main change which improved the setup was to use a female QD on one side of the hose and a male QD on the other side. It allows you to add in new sections of hose if you need to extend it quickly. You just disconnect and add the hose to your existing hose and you're done. Most of the 3/8" hoses with QD connectors are set up this way with a male QD on one side and a female QD on the other side. You can even order female QD connector adapters with 15mm connections so you don't need the 14mm to 15mm adapter on the pressure washer. It looks cleaner with only one adapter.
I also added a high flow valve on the hose side to be able to turn the water on and off at the pressure washer. Its a good feature to have when you want to change wands quickly. You just turn off the unit, turn off the water flow, depressurize the wand and swap out the wand. After that, you just turn the valve back on and then the unit. If you are using a gas powered pressure washer, you will need a high pressure valve instead of turning off the unit.
I have a Ryobi 2000psi 1.2gpm Electric Pressure washer. So should I use the 2.5 orifice size nozzle?
Josh been following your recommendations and purchasing the items you recommended and they have been great. But one question, do I need to do a IPA wash before laying down my ceramic wax? If so, which should I purchase? Would love to see a video on IPA wash, whether it's necessary or not. Great Videos keep up the good work
How often do you have to replace does if there not stainless steel or this better
As usual great video!!!! Quick question, I have an older Black and Decker pressure washer, hat connection does it have M22x14 or M22x15??
Just got a Greenworks 1800 psi 1.1 GPM power washer and the blue hose you suggest. Do I need the adapter? (Don’t have the box in front of me to look it up) And I bought the 2.5 orifice spray tips. So does the 40 degree tip bring it to the correct PSI? I think one of your other videos suggested this. Thanks!
What about the active? What would you use in terms of degree tip? Also if I have a mtm foam cannon I’ve heard if I change the orfice to a 1.1 mm I can damage the pressure washer is this true? If so I would have to use the 1.25
Super helpful. Thanks
I brought a STIHL RE 110 ELECTRIC WATER PRESSURE 2 Years ago Iv got an quick adapter for it : o, 25, 45, 60 and a soap one . Any suggestions adding a hoes replacement for stihl
Great video. I have the same quick disconnects and they are starting to stick a bit. Might have to swap them for stainless steel ones.
I have the same issue as you and thinking of getting stainless steel as well.
@@garytman007 If you do get them, please let me know if you see a difference.
