- Wanted to follow up my wall mounted pressure washer install video with a quick review of the system as a whole. Actually, as I was reviewing while editing, I’m not sure there’s a ton of super insightful information here, so much as a validation of why this thing is pretty amazing.. or maybe encouragement to anyone thinking of putting one together. In any case, enjoy.

You are a lucky man to have that beautiful high end pressure washer set up. More and more detailers and enthusiasts are installing these type systems in their own garages since Matt Moreman made them popular with his Obsessed Garage. Before Matt showed his set up on UA-cam, hardly any detailers had these types of set ups. Even professional detailers didn't have these set ups and just used a free standing Kranzle's, and other high end gas pressure washers as their "high end" set up back in the day before Matt and the Obsessed Garage line came to UA-cam and the internet with his new store. I have been watching Matt Moreman since he first started his UA-cam channel and I am obsessive myself with my vehicles and detailing. It's a hobby for me and I just enjoy keeping my sports car "dialed in" as Matt would say. Once Matt designed these various systems and started offering them for sale, a LOT more detailers, both pro and enthusiasts started installing these systems in their garages and they are the new "must have" item for pro's and enthusiasts alike. I am working on my own pressure washer set up, but it won't be nearly as sweet as what you have here. I just want to get the COMET unit that Matt Moreman sells. All in one type unit with included hose reel and equipment. I am just going with the basic COMET, nothing fancy. The included 75 foot hose is all I need and the fact it comes with the included hose and the hose reel works for me personally. I already have a good stubby gun so I don't need that. The only other thing I am going to get (although not from Obsessed Garage) is some type of deionizer for the water. I might go with a cheaper two tank DI water system that KEAV over at Cars with Keav UA-cam channel (a great channel for detailing and pressure washer stuff) sourced off of Amazon for like $120 total. It looks identical to the CR Spotless but it's a copy. He gave it good reviews. Cars with Keav looks for alternate (but good quality) pressure washers and pressure washer set ups that provide a similar level of performance as the high end systems like you have, but for the budget minded detailer. So I will probably be at $1,000 all in which is perfect for me. I am only an enthusiast now but I did detailing as a side job 30 years ago. I just liked the clean look of the Comet. If I could afford the high end unit like you have, I would probably get it. The wife would balk at the price though. She already balks at everything I buy for my car. She says I love my car more than her and "It's your second wife!". LOL. She's still supportive. I just hit her yesterday with the fact I need new tires. Not bad for ten years though on my 370Z. It's 10 years old and just clicked over the 20,000 mile mark. It's pretty much a weekend or good weather toy. I live in Colorado so you have to plan your drive days. I had an absolutely terrifying experience last year when we went out for a drive and wound up at the top of a mountain at 9,000 foot elevation and it was going up even further. The road was a seriously steep and winding road that turned into snow and ice covered and about a mile up, the car couldn't go any further at all and started sliding back down the road. I had to back that thing down the ice at about 1 mile an hour and it took 45 minutes to get the car back down to a level where it would grip. I never made that mistake again. I had just moved here from Kentucky and didn't realize how fast road conditions can change here. About a month ago, same thing. Perfectly nice day out for a drive. On our way home from a 300 mile trip at the end of the day as the sun was going down, we got hit with a massive HAIL STORM! It hails here all the time. There was hail coming down at an alarming rate (BAD!) and the darn ice balls were the size of golf balls! No joke. I was trying to find a place to pull into with an awning, but so was every other car on the highway. It kept getting worse and worse and my wife looked at me terrified (because she knows how I treat my vehicles) and her eyes were wide as saucers. It literally sounded like 100 ball peen hammers were hitting all over my car at the same time. I was cursing and cringing all at the same time. It was hitting the car so hard your body literally jerked every time a golf ball sized hail ball hit the car. I told her it was too late to do anything now and that we had to get off the highway as soon as we could so I kept going to the next exit. I finally found a car wash to pull into at least part way out of the hail but it was coming down like the heavens had opened up. Every space you could find in the gas stations, and anywhere else with an awning was packed with other cars trying to do the same thing. In the car wash with me were Porsches, new Corvette's, BMW's, Mercedes, and other sporty cars. You could tell we were all thinking the same thing. There wasn't a space left in that car wash for another car. We had a little impromptu cars and coffee event until the hail storm was over! Then, 45 minutes later, it was gone. Freak hail storms happen all the time here because of the mountain climate. Hail damage repair shops here are always busy! Another lesson learned and hopefully I won't make that mistake again, but that hail storm was a storm no one could have predicted because it was otherwise a clear day. Surprisingly I had no damage on my 370Z other than very tiny "ping" marks in a few spots that really aren't too noticeable to the naked eye so I was lucky. I have to get the front resprayed anyway so it will be fixed at some point. Back to the tires, I had to hit her with "I need to spend $1350 on new tires! She actually didn't say too much because she knew it could have been worse. The stock tires that came with the car are $2,600 to replace. The guy at the tire dealer got me a good deal on all season Continental tires that he said would work perfectly in Colorado and they were half the cost. He is a big Z guy who has several Z's himself including a 240Z and also a Nissan GTR. He knew exactly what tires to use here for sorta the best of both worlds (Winter and Summer) and got me a good deal. He said they were the tires he uses on his own stuff and they are better than the stock type tires that are rated for summer use only, at least here in Colorado. Which is probably why I was having all the issues a year ago on that steep mountain road, although that was a weird situation because the road was a very lightly travelled road that was far steeper than most roads here. I try not to go up to the really high elevations in the winter time with my Z. Now I leave that for our 4-wheel drives. It has been lessons learned on navigating the mountain roads here, many of which are dirt instead of asphalt, primarily because you can get more traction on the dirt road than you can on the asphalt roads covered in two or three feet of snow. We just got two feet of snow here a couple of weeks ago! Loving your channel and content my friend.
That sounds terrifying.. glad you made it down lol. I've unexpected had to drive in snow with my M3 a few times and it can be done but I don't love it.
@@AlwaysSummerGarage Yes sir. The Z can get you into trouble quick. Many owners who have had them have exceeded the cars abilities which caused a devasting crash. The backend will dart out from you much faster than a lot of automobiles. It's a small car with that capable V6 and it has a lot of power even on the stock engine at 350 hp. It doesn't sound like a lot, but in that little Z, it's more than enough to get you into big trouble, FAST! It's why it's such a loved car for drifting. I drive it lightly and even I have had some instances where the rear end will come around on you so fast. Still one of the best cars to come out of Japan and I have had quite a few Japanese cars. I still enjoy it a lot, even though I am getting older. It's definitely not a car you want to hand over to a new driver. NO WAY. It's an automobile that should be handled by an experienced driver. Or at the very least, if anyone is thinking about getting one, attend one of the track driving schools or classes around the Country like Bondurant or one of the others. I'm sure your M3 is the same way.
@@joevanseeters2873 oh absolutely. The F80, even by today's standards, is a monster. I'm the same way though, all things considered I drive rather conservatively.
@@AlwaysSummerGarage Yeah, me too. I was a traffic cop for 31 years so I now drive like a Grandpa! LOL Fortunately we have high speed limits here in Colorado so I still get to enjoy going high speed with my 370Z and not get into trouble. I still love driving though and love sports cars. I am a gear head through and through so I will always have a fondness for cars of ALL types and eras.
The only comment I can think of is … IF detailing is therapeutic, enjoyable, relaxing, whatever else then cost shouldn’t be a factor. Whatever makes the experience better is an investment in yourself. No need to justify it more than that.
😊😊😊
This is a damn fine point good sir 🍻
@@AlwaysSummerGarageI still think the Kranzle would look better up there haha
😉
The process and results are what makes it therapeutic. Not the tools or products you’re using.
@@Reaper-Jimlooks are subjective anyways
Very nice setup. I totally agree, it is worth the investment for someone (like me) that finds cleaning and detailing very therapeutic. I started small as well. Karcher 1800 cube and a hose . Slowly upgraded feed hoses, quick disconnects, cheap DI rig with bypass, nice Foam canons, stubby nozzle, etc. Just in the last couple of weeks invested in an Active 2.0 and a shelf, hose reel, added a dedicated outlet. Still needing a nice DI rig and a dedicated hose bib to feed it. But its coming right along.
Thanks brother. That's awesome, sounds like we had a very similar path. It's crazy how once you get it all into place, the old way of setting up and tearing down seems insane. Good luck on the rest of your build! I'm still considering some bottle shelving and a wall mount for the foam cannons to finish it all up.
Definitely worth the money. My setup was 3 years in the making cause I gradually up graded. I started with the karcher k1700 then bought the og ultimate accessory package. 2 years later bought the shelf and hose reel. Last week purchased the active 2.0 kit for 20% off. The cox hose reel is the best part of the setup case trying to coil up a 75ft hose was the worst part of washing my car.
Yep very similar here.. K1800, small upgrades to that, etc. And 100% agree on the hose reel; it's definitely the one functional thing that makes this so much easier now.
@@AlwaysSummerGarage I didn't want to spend the money on the cox reel cause I didn't think it was worth the price. But soon as I got it I was impressed by the quality.
Great Vid, I'm getting ready to build my first system. I'm using 4 stages, pre filter, carbon, re, res. Correct me if I'm wrong, like I said I'm new to this but carbon extends the life of the res. Why didn't you incorporate carbon in your system?
Thanks brother 🍻 not sure about the carbon.. I may be confusing it with a sediment filter but I read some mixed results on them before the resin and, in most cases, it seemed that it was people with well water that needed it (which wasn't the case for me). I also use the DI tanks very sparingly so I wasn't too concerned with prolonging them.
Are you going with a ready made system or something you built? Curious to hear how it works out for you. Either way good luck with the build!
100ft Cox reel is def worth it. I was able to snag one for $120 at a local liquidation store. I had a generic Amazon PW reel and it’s a night and day difference. Reeling the hose is effortless w the Cox
Yep, before I got mine my kid picked up a cox retractible air hose reel from an estate sale and they seem to be really well made. Reeling in 75ft of hose with this is nothing.
Great setup! I’ve been binge watching you vids! Question: what is the width dimension of it at the widest point? That is from the hose bucket filler all the way to the left.
Thanks so much brother, much appreciated! From the bucket fill elbow across to the tee on the left is exactly 36 inches. Tack on a few extra inches for the water inlet hose connected to the pressure washer because of how it bends outward.
Such a great set up!!! Thank you for sharing such a detailed step by step video! Truly appreciate it!
Thanks so much brother! Hope you found it helpful 🍻
@@AlwaysSummerGarage very helpful
How deep is the 2.3 without cage? How deep is your shelf? I have a 6” shelf that is like to use, so you think it’s deep enough?! Do you have any profile photos of what the 2.3 looks like up there? Going to attempt my own wall build…😬 Thanks!
The rubber base that makes contact with the shelf is relatively small, maybe 6 x 5" but the physical unit is about 10" deep (from the wall). My shelf is 20 x 10" but you could go a little smaller. Here's a pic: tinyurl.com/2cj7rdk7
Good luck with the build!
@@AlwaysSummerGarage setup almost done! I’ll share a picture soon!!
@@AdamosGarage nice! yes please do 🍻
Your setup looks great
Thank you for the videos
Thank you brother.. I appreciate you checking them out 🍻
