Firebuff17 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Zman024, Rich Got a few shots of the homemade undercarriage sprayer. Nothing special. It it works pretty good as long as you have decent water pressure. Made from misc plumbing parts and drilled a few 1/8” holes (drilled in different directions). Used a 4ish foot long push broom replacement handle to attach the sprayer head to. Slides pretty good on the pavement. In hind sight (and easily remedied) I should have used 1 less hole for better pressure. But none the less it still works pretty darn good. And I put a quick disconnect on it as all of my hoses have them. This sprayer gets attached to the hose that also had a thumb shutoff at the end to make it easy to turn in and off and move about.

ZMAN024 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 Josh, I like it. Maybe you could add a paint roller or equivalent to the handle and it would roll nicely on the pavement. IAcamoprincess01 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Firebuff17 Posted December 21, 2017 Share Posted December 21, 2017 (edited) Yup. Straight garden hose. And I am feeling crazy I can hook my garden hose to a hot water hook up and use hot water to do the rinse.

Wy_detailing Posted December 23, 2017 Share Posted December 23, 2017 Finally got my MTM stainless quick disconnect and swivel for my pressure washing set up, amazing how a few little pieces can make such a difference! I wish I would have pulled the trigger much earlier on these, very well made and makes using the pressure washer much easier! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been holding off until I found a quality set-up. Hard to tell from a picture on a website if the quality is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MTM hydro quick disconnects are nice and good quality as for the swivel it’s ok nothing special, I like my mosomatic swivel better, I have both. https://www.amazon.com/Mosmatic-Live-Pressure-Washer-Swivel/dp/B00Z0O7WAC/ref=sr_1_sc_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1514067090&sr=8-1-spell&keywords=Mosomatic+swivel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to look up "RoRo ship" and it stands for "Roll-on/roll-off" which means the wheeled cargo is driven onto the ship, instead of lift-on/lift-off (LoLo). Learn something every day!

2 birds & a Z Posted December 25, 2017 Share Posted December 25, 2017 Decided to show some Christmas love to my 'old' beater & took it for an early morning drive. Passing an empty parking lot, I wheeled in & took a couple pics. Here's one.Finger tip blocking a chemtrail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liralen Posted January 2, 2018 Share Posted January 2, 2018 Put together my shelving to finish organizing the detail room/supplies. Even though had gloves on got a small wound while assembling (pushed down a little to hard before putting the plastic endcaps on), definitely could of been worse. Once the room is totally reorganized will post more. Mongosg8 and Rich 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
