      Thanks for the update on the quick connects since I noticed in your video you showed 6 of them on the tailgate but I guess you already had 2 installed on the kink free hose. I see now there are 8 in the pack. Great video! I wanted an easy way to clean our new boat and I HATE using our gas power pressure washer and hose that will just loop up and kink if I stare at it long enough. Man great content. Liked and subbed!

    Also, some friendly advice for someone wanting to use their pressure to make money:
    Put in whatever tip you wanna use and give it a pull. Then spray at the ground for a second or two.
    This just ensures the tip is locked in. The last thing you wanna do is be expecting to get paid to detail a car and then having to replace a window or get a dent pulled and painted.

    At 2:47 it appears you wrap the teflon tape counterclockwise. It should be wrapped clockwise so it will not bunch up when you screw in the fitting. Moreover if there is a rubber grommet/washer, you do not typically need teflon tape. In any case, thanks for the video and the useful tips.

    Pretty much same setup but I'm using the RidgeWasher foam cannon. Its the sleeper of the foam cannons. I was fed up with all these crap foam cannons and was about to cough up the dough for an MJCC but on a whim decided to try one more cheap cannon. This Ridgewasher is putting out that thick foam from the Ryobi pressure washer all for only $20 and comes with a nice quality wash mit as well.
    I also couple that factory hose that comes with the Ryobi to the Uberflex hose which give me a total of 75ft of hose. This allows me to leave the Ryobi in the garage with the door shut without having to sacrifice any length of the 50ft Uberflex. This virtually makes that high pitch sound of an electric pressure washer completely silent. Totally makes the car wash process much more therapeutic.

    I bought pressure washer about two months ago...didn't see the need to buy anything larger. I paired it with a McKillans foam cannon, quick connect kit, and a swivel handle. The Ryobi works just fine...plenty of foam, and so far not a single issue. I picked it up on sale at Home Depot for about $89 or so. But you will need an adapter (M14-22 male to M15-22 female) to hook up your hose and foam cannon...seems Ryobi uses an oddball size on the unit. Very pleased with my setup so far.

    • @AutoHeadz

      Make sure you run water through the system for a full 30 seconds before turning on the pressure washer. That will ensure the system has no air in it. Sounds like you have air in the system.

    So...with the foam cannon and the foam it leaves on the car...you do not use a wash mitt to run through the vehicle? Does it lift the dirt without agitation from a mitt?

    • @AutoHeadz
      @AutoHeadz  5 місяців тому +1

      Steps:
      1. If paint is hot pre rinse with P. Washer to cool paint. If paint is not hot start with foam.
      2. Foam entire car and let foam dwell for several minutes.
      3. Rinse off foam
      4. Foam again and go in for contact wash using two bucket method. (Scrub in straight lines do not swirl)
      5. Rinse off car
      6. Dry car with drying towel / spray with a detail spray while drying for best results
      (Always do wheels and tires first with separate washing pads/buckets/materials)

The best advice I can give is when you get the clients you enjoy working for try to get them to be a maintenance customer. The customers who pay well but give you a hard time or just not easy to deal with in my opinion are better as a one time service. Also make sure you take videos and pictures of every vehicle before you start and after you finish. I have had three people so far try to claim that I either cause damage or did not fix/clean what they asked for. All three of these people were proven wrong with my video I took before I started.

    2:12 I didnt know Ryobi has no brass o/p pipe, this seems some copper/aluminum alloy with a brass coating low quality!!!! also at home we use the PW once or twice a week so it is always better to remove all water from the pump after any wash job. There is only one problem with the QC/QD fitted at o/p pipe side that all water wont go out of the M22 pipe because of the M22-15 QC/QD.
    So for home use its better to disconnect the QC/QD adapter from the PW and do a 2 second dry run so all water get out. You do this small thing and your PW will live longer

I then bought the Uber flex hose which fits super nicely onto the machine although when running the water it’s crazy how much water leaks from the insert nozzle. I then tried buying a quick connect kit to hopefully fix this and it didn’t help. I don’t think it’s the machine itself because the original hose works just fine.

    Wish I could show you my setup.. im using the exact same home depot pressure washer.. with a small short gun similar to yours.. but my ryobi pressure washer is now a wall setup. That mean i don't have to carry it and deal with 20 cords on the ground,, no more cord management.. because I added a wall reel and bought a 50’ flex hose to feed the reel.. now when i detail a car i just pull the hose.. do my stuff.. washing, foaming, rinsing and retract it back.. the only cord on the ground is the hose … nothing else.i also have a second reel for the garden hose next to it just in case i need the garden hose. And i added a reel for the air…. So my wall has 3 reels.. garden hose, pressure washer hose, air pressure. Oh i almost forgot , the electric reel.. that i use when doing DA compound around the car. So four reel on the wall.. and all my stuff are cheap stuff… nothing commercial grade except maybe my ghibli as5 vacuum.. haven't figured how to put the vacuum hose on a reel yet.. as for the ryobi pressure washer.. it does the job just fine for detailing cars
