I just ordered a giraffe wall mount one. $240 on Amazon, self contained, and flows pretty well (1.6gpm I think is what it was tested at on a YT video).

Hopefully 65' hose will be long enough. If not, I'm probably just gonna do one of the $100 Ryobi (and maybe a DI system).

I’d highly recommend investing in a nice hose with quick connects and a swivel on the gun end. It makes the hose SO much more manageable when moving around the car.

I received my Ryobi pressure washer and a 50’ Ryobi hose for Father’s Day this year. The pressure washer itself is great but the hose was a nightmare. Very stiff when pressurized, never laid flat, always wanted to curl up on itself, and difficult to coil back up for storage.

I recently got a really nice Kobrajet 50’ hose with the quick connects and swivel end for Christmas. Almost a night and day difference. The hose is supposed to be non-marring as well, but I’m diligent about not letting the hose hit the vehicle.

I also picked up an MTM undercarriage sprayer attachment. A little pricey, but well built and will be used frequently. Even just attaching it to the end of the gun allowed me to get under my 340i xDrive with no problem. Now granted the 340i isn’t lowered yet, so it’s still sitting on the 4x4 xDrive suspension. Even with a mild drop though I’d imagine this sprayer will get underneath no problem.

I bought a ridge washer swivelling stubby gun to go with it.

I'm already kind of debating sending the giraffe pressure washer back. I keep seeing guys with awesome looking pressure washer carts with DI built on to them, and it just looks like a way better option for me overall.

I think I'm gonna cancel it and I beat in DI instead and get a ryobi electric washer.

Major flex lol.

The cox reel alone is prolly more than most are looking to spend on their pressure washer LOL

(That said, that’s a nice setup!).
