    No thoughts on the AR, I've not used it though it's only a little cheaper than the Kranzle I have. Don't recall the model, but it's the one with no gun or hose, just pump only since I knew I'd be going with another hose and gun.

    Honestly the Sun Joe I had prior did nearly the same job. The differences come to user experience and build quality. Moving the Sun Joe around fighting both water hoses and a power cord wasn't ideal. The supplied 25' hose is too short for washing any car imho, get more hose than you think you'll need. It's not a fair to compare them because I never ran the hose and gun which are clearly superior to the Sun Joe. Hell the Sun Joe is still running at my buddies house so it's held up over 4 years. Same for the PF22, it's not noticeably better than the Torq one I had before it.

    Is this the pressure washer Kranzle 1622TS?

    As far as the foam cannon should I just get anyone that meets the pressure washer specs?

    Looked it up, it's a 1322TS, think it's nearly the same unit as the 1622 but I think Kranzle gave Obsessed Garage their own model number.

    Like the Kranzle, the build quality is nice on the MTM just don't get the goofy bottle they used to have. They've got one now with a wide base so it doesn't topple over easily on itself. I know there are some other nice cannons out there, Griots (topical) is one, can't recall the others.

    Are you using the MTM gun?

    I'm thinking about the Flexzilla pressure washer hose because of the color is high visibility.

    Mosmatic, whatever you do get one that has a swivel, can't tell you enough how much better the experience is with a swivel vs without.

    Never used a Flexzilla pw hose. Not terribly impressed with the air hose we have by them but it's held up but we only use it a few times a year.

    As an example, something like this: https://www.amazon.com/MTM-Acqualin...d=1&keywords=MTM+Hydro&qid=1618266129&sr=8-17

    What material should the hose be made of, rubber, or some kind of poly material? Most for withstanding pressure.

    My Honda powered pressure washer burst the hose within the first month.

    Yep, that would be the MTM version, very similar to Mosmatic.

    Here is the MTM hose I have: https://www.obsessedgarage.com/prod...ssure-washer-hose?_pos=5&_sid=60b1ad309&_ss=r

    I'll let him explain the thoughts behind the hose, it's more than just outer material. I'm not trying to endorse OG per se but the dude has certainly done his homework in this area. I see on his site he seems to sell damn near everything now, all I'm familiar with him is on pressure washing gear.

    The longer the length of the hose do you loose pressure?

    Believe he tested out to 100 feet with negligible difference to a short hose. Do note that this Kranzle when running a foam cannon will pull more than 15 amps, so it needs to be on a 20 amp breaker.

    I couldn't find the length at Obsessed Garage.

    Will a 12/3 by 25ft extension cord work or may cause issue?

    I don't feel like wiring a 20A outlet outside.

    Just get one rated for 20 amp, I'm sure anything longer than 25' is going to be more like 10/3 awg though.

    I usually buy Yellow Jacket extension cords. I have to get 10/3 x 25 ft cord to get 20A.

    It should be more than enough for my needs.

    Thanks for answering my questions, appreciate it.

    I use a Greenworks 2800psi electric pressure washer with the chemical guys foam cannon on a 50ft hose. Never tripped the breaker.

    I'm looking for a electric pressure washer with atleast 2,000 PSI and 2.0 GPM. Which most PW I look at recommends a 20A breaker.

    It should meet all my detailing needs and doing some things around the house.

    I just washed my truck with the Griots ceramic wash and coat. I was pleasantly surprised at the beading of water at rinse off.

    Marring is a issue.

    The Rav4 was scratched to hell. Grayish looking from UV damage.

    It's coming along.
