Detailing Stations

Nice! Do you store all your detailing products in the garage year round? (Summer and Winter)

 

Yea, the garage and door are well insulated and hold a decent temp year round. I wash mine and my inlaws cars every other week (4 cars) so product gets rotated often.

 

I’ve always used bleche-wite for the tires.

 

Well I wasn’t until now. Nice setup.

 

Obsessed Garage has Kranzles back in stock and they're shipping directly from OG in Lady Lake FL. Matt's email this morning says they won't be drop shipping from Kranzle anymore.

I couldn't resist. I got everything minus some fittings and a hose or two. Going to see what all I need once it's laid out in the garage. Also picked up an EGO 650 blower on sale at Lowes the other day and a stubby nozzle/blower band from Etsy. Buy once, cry once I guess.

 

Mine has been solid, you'll like it.

You already have a gun and wand?

 

I've got a long wand from my gas pressure washer that I never use. I normally use the SGS28 swivel gun, 75ft blue kobrajet hose and Adam's foam cannon. I think I'm going to order an MTM Aqualine or OG spec 40 degree nozzle and pf22.2 foam cannon next. Any suggestions for a lance or wand?

 

I ended up with whatever OG sold at the time with the bend in it (not even sure the brand) and it looks the same from clicking through the link you posted. The number one upgrade I'd say you already have is the swivel on the gun, especially if you've got a bulky hose like a Kobrajet. But as OG sets them up, put quick disconnects everywhere at least after the gun.

edit: Mosmatic, is what I got from him, gun and wand.

 

You went big! That’s going to be an awesome setup.

 

I got the same email. I bought my K1322TS beginning of June and got it Aug 4th. Used a few times so far and it is so much more quiet over my ryobi. Water output is perfect with the hose and mosmatic gun. I spent alot but worth it! Also got a few shirts along with detail stuff and extra misc fittings\brushes. My detailing has come along way from a garden hose and bucket of cheap soap.

 

Finally got the 1322ts today along with some fittings, OG 4.0 40 degree nozzle, pf22.2 foam cannon and a 6.5ft hose. Upon unboxing I noticed the oil level seemed low on the Kranzle 1322ts dipstick and for whatever reason they've eliminated the oil sight glass on the side of the machine. Maybe due to part shortages?

I've emailed OG for help, but I thought maybe some of you would know? It looks like it's just below the "k" on the "ok"?

 

In case anyone wanted to know,

Drew at OG says oil should read in the middle of "ok" on the dipstick. 15w-40 full synthetic mobil or castrol is fine if Kranzle oil isn't available. Going to get some oil and I'll post some better pictures later.

 

They still recommending only one oil change to get rid of the original break in oil? Can't remember how many hours in but it wasn't that many 25hrs maybe. Obviously yours doesn't need it yet so you'll need the oil eventually.

 

I've read 20 hours for first oil change then it's supposed to be good for lifetime after that. OG recommended 20 hours and then twice a year. I'll be following OG's maintenance schedule.

Detail Arsenal is the only online store that appears to have it in stock at the moment.

Think I used Royal Purple in mine, it happened to be on sale where I got it.

 

I was looking for Royal Purple, but they only had gallon sizes. I bought a quart of Chevron Delco 15w-40 and ordered the Kranzle oil from Detail Arsenal. Kind of pricey, but I've gone this far.

 

Good to know, i’ll double check mine tomorrow and order some oil. I have about 5hrs on it so far. Still worth every penny.

 

The oil settled right where it was supposed to be (middle of "ok" on the gauge per OG.) I think shipping must have shook it up. Anyway, this Kranzle is freakin schweet! It's so quiet and it throws a ton of water. I should have bought it sooner. The Cox reel isn't in the picture, but I'm so glad I chose the black cox reel. Perfect contrast with the blue hose and grey walls. Also, the pf22.2 foam adjustment is very precise compared to my old Adams foam cannon. I just wish the plastic bottle wasn't so thin and flimsy.

The EGO 650 blower is perfect aside from being heavy, but I think I'm going to order the apex stubby nozzle from OG. The Etsy version I bought doesn't funnel or direct the cfm's that well.


Here's my mess for now until a permanent wall mount solution is complete. I just need some swisstrax flooring.

 

This is my collection of cleaning supplies i have atm, I am waiting to buy a Active 2.0 from OG to finally have a wall mounted washer.

 

And so it begins...
