Washing a friend — logbook Toyota Corolla 2009

The black color is extremely easily soiled and the car quickly loses its decent appearance without proper care.

Tired of the prices for washing my beloved horse, and the mediocre quality of the services provided, I purchased a gadget specially trained in order to do well to my pet.

As a result, a budget high-pressure mini-washer was purchased.

As a result, the device has already paid off in 10 washes, and has demonstrated its full adequacy for the money paid.

A foam generator was also purchased for the use of chemistry for contactless washing

I think that taking into account the rather long period of warm weather in our region, I can easily use it from April to November, and at the end of the washing season, the savings are about 30 washes ($ 10 per wash), totaling $ 300 per year. At the same time, I will be 100% sure of the quality of washing.

Dad gave such a device to the DR. He generally forgot what it is to ride on a car wash; with his minimalism, he washes with a bang. And the paintwork remains on top, since the sink is contactless, and not as they are used to washing with a bucket, a sponge and a rag in the country.

Yes, definitely, the device justifies itself, on Saturday I will wash again and post photos of the foam generator.

this is the right decision =) I also want to buy a Karcher for myself, washing the car myself is much better, and even more pleasant =)

While it is warm and if there is a place for washing, then definitely!

should the water be supplied under pressure to the sink or stupidly hose into the bucket and let's go? How many liters does it take for 1 wash?

Yes, but in German, in Russian there is no such thing for some reason.

Always please, just keep in mind that it should not work continuously for more than 20 minutes, otherwise it will overheat and die, and such death is not covered by the guarantee.

Is it right in the nakatono instructions?

hang them for 30 liters, they were probably enough, and go ahead, the biggest problem is to fill this canister :-)

ok) I think the water will run out faster, I don’t have running water in the garage)
... I’ll have to hang the canister)

Thank you for your reply! I’ll take a closer look at simple budget car washes at my leisure ...

According to the docks to the device, it is written that it must be connected to a water supply system with a pressure of at least 1 atmosphere, but in fact you can use a 20 liter canister and simply raise it to a height of 1.5-2 meters and wash it for your pleasure.
The pressure is slightly lower at the outlet, but a mud blaster or crevice tool will give something like 10 atmospheres at the outlet.
It does not know how to pump water from tanks located at the level of the sink or below (not paid), it seems that Karchers of the 3rd and 4th series can do this.
I personally connect to the water supply, but my neighbor uses the same apparatus to wash himself from a canister that he hangs on the wall.
Washing takes from 15 to 40 liters of water, depending on the degree of contamination. My average consumption is 15–20 liters, but I wash regularly and do not bring the car to severe contamination.

For a sedan, a wash of this class is usually sufficient, but I changed the car for a nedojeep and, accordingly, I will change the car wash for Karcher 5.20, now the price is just super!

After reading this blog, I was finally convinced that I needed to buy a sink and you can buy such a format - a budget one, otherwise I thought it would not be enough pressure, I wanted to take it for 7-9 rubles and was upset because of such possible expenses!
