    i know this might be old but i just noticed your pressure washer . . . . did you happen to get that at Costco and if you did how do you like it? I am thinking of getting one for myself but wasn't sure on the brand and the quality of the product they delivered. PM me if you could.

    Excellent work btw.

    Great job. Love the rims, but cleaning them is just a bitch.

    I figured there might be more interest from other members on this so I will post my answer to your questions here.

    This PW is a Powerstroke brand and was purchased at Costco.
    Performance: 1700psi and 1.4gpm
    Comes with a 25degree nozzle, foam nozzle (to be used with the built in reservoir), and a 'power nozzle' that is really aggressive. It also has a winding mechanism and housing for the hose. The power cord has a wrap around type housing too, but you have to manually wrap the cord around it.
    So far it has performed just fine for this level of machine.
    Pros:
    love the 1/4" fittings because they don't require much in the way of adapters. This is true for my camspray foamer. The wrap around housings for power cord and hose are nice as well.
    Cons:
    Hose cord is too short by about 5'. It won't quite make it all the way around a car without moving the base. Haven't looked into aftermarket extensions. Also the soap reservoir and supplied 'foam' nozzle do not produce great foam.

    To sum it up, I do not regret buying this machine. I like the 1/4" fitments and the hose reel. I do wish the hose was longer and find the soap reservoir and supplied nozzle to be ineffective for thick foam.

    Hope that helps, thanks for the compliment about the detail as well!
