    Don’t power wash anything that you care about the paint

    Here's what I use, and it works perfectly fine. There are different tips that control pressure, and green happens to be perfect. I've cut down on my water use, car takes minutes to dry now, and it's overall the best money I've spent for washing my truck. I'll never take my truck to a car-wash, I think that's actually more damaging, and if the pressure washer is used correctly, you won't have an issue with the paint. I prefer electric over gas, don't want something really noisy on the weekend mornings I wash my truck.

    What do you like about it? Just the weigh or something else? I looked at them at lowes yesterday but decided against it because I remembered when my mom bought the OG green scrunchy kind back it the day and it was an epic POS.

    They are nothing like the expandable hoses. In fact it doesn't expand at all. Its light weight which is key for a 100' hose, flows a lot of water, enough for a power washer (I got the 5/8"), easy to coil and store, extremely durable, very rarely kinks, and never kinks off completely. Best hose I have ever owned and like I said now I have 2.
