are car wash machines/compressors worth it?

Hi All!

Moderators, dito ko na lang ipost...kakahiya ilagay sa Workshop eh B).

Sulit ba bumili nung portable compressors for washing you car? Does it really save you a lot of time?

Personally kc i wash n wax my ride once a week...pansin ko lang na ung medyo matakaw sa oras is ung pagwash sa ilalim/around the wheels, tsaka ung pag wax(i've since switched to the liquid wax instead of ung de pahid; Pennzoil coz it's d cheapest B).

Isa lang naman po ung ride namin..and have no plans of putting up a car wash service B).

If it *is* worth it...anong reccomended brand n specs?

Comments?

all i can is say is YES!
very convienient, kahit anong oras pede akong mag linis ng kotse.
pede rin aong mag DIY paint retouch dahil sa air compressor.

pati rin driveway namin malinis,
pede rin pandilig ng halaman ang washer
kaso nga lang wag mong itutok sa plants
itaas mo parang rain effect.

Yup, meron kaming Karcher na pressure washer. Pati sa engine wash tipid ka.

Yung nga lang medyo tamad ako ilabas kaya hindi ko parati ginagamit.

san available yang Karcher?

Sa Home Depot sa Toronto namin binili noong 1996. Hindi ko na matandaan. Sale kasi nun. Siya yung smallest (or second to the smallest) doon sa mga naka-display, eh. :D

Otep, eh 110V yung washer mo?

Maraming made in Italy na available at ~ Php 7-8K.

**OTEP** · December 7th, 2003 06:16 PM

Yup 110V siya. 110V at 220V ang mga saksakan dito sa amin. 1:2 ata ang ratio 1 110V for every 2 200V outlet.

Yung KArcher may nagbebenta dito sa Pasig.
Around P5,000 yata.

Meron akong biniling generic pressure washer
sa Hans Tools Shangrila for about P 4,000 bucks.
Intention ko is to use it to wash the car pero I
ended up using it more often to wash my driveway,
my gate, house windows, laundry area, blast clogged
drains, etc...Yes, its worth it if you find other uses for
it other than for washing cars.
