Anyone have a recommendation for a portable car washer? --- - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I am in need of a setup to wash some vehicles with, that is portable by hand.
I am fine with it being a small gas powered powerwasher , or even something like this:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/230728462162...84.m1438.l2649
Its mainly for when I don't have access to a spicket or hose.
I wasn't sure if you guys could see something wrong with the above "ebay" setup , or even had some hands on experience with anything like that. I wont use the brushes , just the "powerwasher" set-up.
I would hate to buy something that is just totally junk ... but if the pressure on something like that isn't so bad it may be worth it.
Thanks for the help

Looks like it might work. Shipping is almost as much as the unit! What about Harbor Freight?

I haven't done much searching yet ... there may even be better units on Ebay. That was one of the first I saw.

Thanks for the tip, I will see if H.F. has anything

Try Home Depot
They have sprayer rigs like this

That's a good suggestion too.

I will head there this weekend.

Are they going to be sold for automotive use, or will I be looking for "bug sprayers"?

What else do you think they would be sold as? Thanks ! ---
