Love my AR630 unit. It’s quiet, well built, and easy to use. I’ve got it mounted on the BigBoi WashR Pro wall mounting reel. The AR630 fits well on the shelf after you readjust the supplied AR mounting plates and drill mounting holes on the reel shelf to align with AR unit. I was waiting for the BigBoi WashR Pro pressure washer and got tired of BigBoi’s failure to distribute/deliver a unit in the US and then made the decision to get the AR. A good decision it is and glad that I made the move.
I've bought many detailing tools based upon Keav's reviews and have been happy with all. Combined with my DIY Detail line-up, I've got a good set-up for detailing. Thank you Keav and DIY Detail.
I got a lightning deal on Amazon for a AstroAI Wide Neck Foam Cannon, with 1/4 Inch Quick Connector Plug to Pressure Washer, 1.0mm Orifice,1 Liter Capacity, Orange Lable for $5.79. It works AMZINGLY well! I even recommended it at the regular price of $15.99, it already has the 1.0mm Orifice, I used it with a Harbor Freight Portland 1750 PSI electric pressure washer, 50' Uber flex hose, and HF Pressure Washer Stubby Spray Gun with quick connects on all. My full setup was $193.97 and works fantastic.
As someone that’s just a hobbyist I have a green works pressure washer smooth jet kobra hose and a SGS 28 MTM gun and a harbor fright foam cannon and it works wonders I have washed 100s of cars trucks and no issues I get great foam out of it and the gun is smooth as silk
I bought a Comet 1700 Static pressure washer in 2019, upgraded the gun and added an MTM foam cannon right away and it has been great. Integrated wall mount and reel with a decent hose. 1.9 gpm/1000 psi with a 4.0 orifice and runs great on a 15 amp circuit. I have since updated to a Cox hose reel and the newer 100-ft long blue hose from Obsessed Garage (very flexible, durable and easy to clean). I will likely upgrade to a Kranzle (or possibly dual Kranzles) someday, but that is a ways off. Completely overkill for my needs, but I'm a sucker for high quality tools and equipment. A Porsche may not be attainable for me, but I'd be happy with the Porsche of pressure washers. 😆
I just got an active 2.0. I’ve got a powerful belt driven gas washer for my pool deck and walkway. An electric washer is a totally different animal. It cycles on and off, it’s quiet and powerful enough for a car. Did upgrade the foam cannon (Adam’s), hose (50 ft) and short gun. I would buy the same setup again.
The Active VE52 and 2.0 will put out about 1900-2000psi with a 2.5 orifice nozzle and run well on a 15amp circuit and have better flow than any of the budget washers if you need a little more cleaning power for around the house. I bought myself a simoniz platinum pressure washer recently (VE52) and it's great for everything i need it to do as an enthusiast and a home owner, also put a 50' Uber flex and haven't had any issues with surging, they revised the pressure switch to help with issues.
I had a pressure washer hose (simpson) that lasted for three uses with a new gas pressure washer (3100psi/2.4gpm). The first upgrades were a better longer 50' hose, an additional higher quality 25' hose with a good gun wand and QCs where needed. Next was an armor all foam cannon w/1.1 jet replacement that shoots shaving cream if I want that type of coverage. I need a good swivel and I need to install the 250ez unloader that's collecting dust. If I can get those final 2 upgrades installed, I should have an excellent cleaning system.
I got the Go from AVA of Norway after watching IMJOSHV's review. For $250 you get a quality washer plus 40ft of quality hose, an "unbreakable" foam cannon as good as the MJJC (half a container's worth will snow my car 2x), some other great accessories. Cost for a short gun add on is $15. Not too noisy either. Oh yeah, register it and there's a five year warranty at which you will get an upgrade kit and warranty extension of five more years!
My first pressure washer was one from Menards. After the first year, I've realized that the limit to efficiently washing my vehicles and toys is my pressure washer and hose. I'm going to spend some money, in the future, and get a great washer with a 50ft hose and short gun.
Nick, here are two options of pressure washers based on the budget one would want to invest. Naturally, you don’t have to get everything on the basic version to save a bit more. Keav and IMJoshV have done quite a few videos on this 😊.
for anyone else starting. get a westinghouse epx3100 2100-2300 psi. mr pink soap(either one), a gun with a swivel i got mckillian cuz they respond to customers, atleast one rag company drying towel (like liquid8tor) they glide across the car. Uber flex hose, car interior detailing kit (takavu), suds lab tire shine applier, a grit guard for your bucket/buckets. quick disconnect kit for ur tools and hoses, Wash mitts(2-3)(aidea), tool daily foam cannon for pressure washer. Lastly you could get a 40 degree nozzle for ur gun to wash cars better from mckillans, and a tire brush for the rubber part and not the rims, along with some adams tire cleaner if u need a go to one this one’s it
this is like 400-450 but, a pressure washer itself is like 100-200 and everything included won’t be the best at all and might make car washing tiring or inconvenient in some instances. i’m trying to avoid all of that and get my car clean everytime
Ryobi 1800, 89 bucks, 2.5 nozzle, rinse Guard gun, Uber flex hose, bear force foam cannon with 1.1 insert....done, under 250, all premium stuff, all mobile effective
I am still rocking the Active 1.0 (sold as Simonize at Canadian Tire here) and will do until it dies. I immediately upgraded it with an MTM kit (short swivel gun + wand, 50' hose and foam cannon) from Carzilla, which cost more than the pressure washer itself, but offered a much better experience. We'll see once the pressure washer dies what I replace it with, but I am not sure it is really worth investing more as the performance of that cheap pressure washer is still pretty dang good. I also recently got a DeWalt 60V "power cleaner" for my rinseless wash set up and, although it is a bit bulky and heavy I use more than the pressure washer as I siphon a rinseless solution making things a bit quicker and efficient. It should also be great in winter, when I can't use the pressure washer at all.
Hi Nick, Great video. I wish it was 6 months earlier. I got the budget friendly pressure washer. Had I seen this, I would have had at least went mid tier.
I have a cheap $100 craftsman from Lowe’s. Is it the greatest? No. But it does what I need it to do and I love it. The only thing I hate is having to deal with a hose. Even with an Uber flex, with no reel it’s quite annoying to deal with. May get Active’s all in one mobile setup when/if they release.
Had a ryobi 1600, started making a funny noise after a few years, so i replaced it with a greenworks brushless, which has a higher gpm than most entry level electric, but unfortunately has a moment to wind up before it starts spraying with pressure when you pull the trigger. Not too bad, just gotta be efficient and spray and foam the entire car at once.
My set up started as an el cheapo pressure washer that was on sale then that helped with washing. The next year upgraded the sprayer and foam cannon. The following year I figured out my big pain was the hose so I got a 50 foot hose with a reel. Its crazy to think I have a $130 pressure washer with $600 in upgrades lol but its not that bad when you enjoy doing it and spread it out. Get started and when something seems annoying or like it could be better then when your ready to upgrade those are the things you upgrade. My best upgrade tho is CR Spotless its nice to not have to worry about water spots
Did DIY hire a video editor? The quality on the editing has improved greatly. The only thing that was missed on this video was the color grading in post. Other than that, spot on.
there is a good idea, I want a set that will allow you to connect two Ryobi into one powerful setup. Even if you have to use two sockets, this is not a problem due to the length of the cable. This will be about 2.3 gpm with 1400-1600 psi. Cheaper and better options than a $1000+ power washer
Thinking about debadging/rebadging my trucks emblems. Would love a video on safe adhesive removal. See alot of stuff about eraser wheels, but that seems like it would mar the paint.
Keav continues to talk about upgrading the hose. Which hose is he talking about: 1) the pressure washer to the gun or 2)the faucet to the pressure washer?
Nick, I really do appreciate you continuing to dumb it down for the rest of us… I’m glad you have not lost that aspect of how you serve your detailing community.
Put my system together with an Active 2.3 pro using an upgraded MTM gun, MJJC pro 2.0 foam cannon using high-end 50 ft stainless steel braided hose, all the good swivels and quick connects. I use a 1.25 orifice and get great results. Spent less then $900 for everything.
I was gifted a brand new gas Troy bilt TB3400PW. Is this too strong of a pressure washer? I haven’t purchased any attachments in fear that it wasn’t safe for cars. Many searches suggest staying further back and using a 40 degree tip to avoid paint damage.
DIY, I want all products just to get used to your system of doing things. I want to try rinseless but also want to traditional wash method. Need clay towel, iron remover, polishing supplies, brushes, etc; If I call, can I still get a discount. Seems like most things I want are out of stock. Mahalo!
Thing about electric pressure washers cheap ones you cannot get parts to repair them .when they tear up you need to buy another one .expensive ones you can get parts and repair them .cheaper gas pressures do not have a divert valve on them and if you leave them running it will burn up the pump.
I have had the same Home Depot Ryobi 2000 psi for the last 4 yrs & using it at least 3/4 days a week 6/8 hrs a day doing mobile detailing 😂but i take care of my pressure washer like i clean my truck😊 ... Uber flex hose 50 ft. (USUALLY dont need 50 ft but when you do, YOU DO 😂)... I purchased a ext. cord reel (Wal-Mart ) to help take care of and easy clean up to get to the next customer faster!!! And an Amazon hand gun that has the automatic lock ( RA), Amazon foam cannon, using the tips that came with the pressure washer.... SO Dont be afraid to make a living with avg. equipment ❤... I love making money doing what i love but i refuseeee to spend a lot of money on something i can get for less and get many years out of it and by then the "NEXT" gotta have is out...😂 Cheap quick connects 😂😂
In car detailing i never really see any hot water pressure washers like Hotsy's or NorthStar being used. Outside of them being expensive, is there a reason why detailers do not use them? Most have a temperature control so i feel you could add some heat without damage. Most things always seem to clean better with heat in my experience. I am curious if these would be part of the "dream" setup or if there are negatives to using them on a personal vehicle.
@@diydetailofficial last thing on this, what are your thoughts using turbo (rotating) nozzles vs fan tips nozzles on pressure washers? I have both and feel like the turbo nozzles clean good, but not sure if damage can come from using them. Wanting to see if i can learn from someone else's experience before i make my own lol.
For me, home user, my Ryobi 1800 works well. Got it for $80. I could replace it 4X for price of Active. Also a Raincovo short gun off Amazon for like $20.
I use the diy detail rinseless wash and want to now use a battery powered sprayer to pre-spray the car instead of a pump sprayer. I am interested in getting a Ryobi EZClean 600 PSI power cleaner for other usages but feel like it may work for spraying rinseless wash on the car. Has anyone tried that? Figured it might dispense too much liquid and waste the solution too fast.
I am dissapointed with the Ryobi EZClean 600 PSI. I really want to try out the new Dewalt 1000 PSI 60v system (DCPW1000B 60V MAX). Might have a chance at making a real foam cannon work. The Ryobi just doesn't have the oomph for a real foam cannon. I even tried dropping down to 0.9 orifices in three different foam cannons, but not enough flow / pressure to get foam.
@@AMI_Detail Its for sure meant more for rinseless wash more than a foam wash. The 1200 PSI battery one from Ryobi will foam good though. 1K PSI and 60 volts let us know how it goes that seems a bit heavy. I prefer the RYOBI 18v ez clean as its much lighter than the 40v one.
I’m skipping all the auto detailing focused machines and building a Canpump 230v wall mount setup. Will be able to get 3-3.5 gpm and 2500psi for surface cleaning and then turn down the PSI for auto detailing.
What about those of us in SoCal with so many water restrictions? I use portable DI water from my laboratory and some of Keav's advice for Fanttik products. Fanttik just came out with a cordless 15 liter, up to 725 psi product. I tend to really like Fanttik products and use the DIY products almost exclusively. Wondering if anyone has tried out this new product and if Keav might be testing it out soon. It seems ideal for those of us living with intense water restrictions. I've used the Fanttik NB8 Nano Portable Pressure Washer that Keav recommended with DI water to rinse my car and the 1.8L Cordless Electric Foam Sprayer, 2000mAh Car Wash Foam Gun from Amazon that Keav demonstrated with DIY Incredible Suds with much success, but would like something with a bit more umph and capacity.
Before I spiral out of control I’m just gonna keep paying someone to wash and wax my car. It takes zero effort lmao. I got 4 cars and don’t have the time to waste washing myself, it cost me more money to take a day off work. Plus it’s a tax write off
Ryobi is awesome! It does everything I need to wash a car. It’s totally fine. I got 50Ft of uberflex hose and a short gun will a longer attachment piece and it’s been running now 2 years with weekend washes and no sigh of problems at all
I don't know about the same, but Ryobi for sure will get the job done no problem. Used one for years, but after trying out the bigger ones I wont ever go back. Its needs and wants just like anything else in life from shoes to coffee I could care less about expensive anything else except for car mods, detailing and lawn equipment. LOL
@Keave, with electric pressure washers being so prolific, WHY haven't Foam Cannon makers optimized foam cannons to work at lower GPM Flow Rates eg. 1.3 to 1.5 or .6? Great video.
Keav really knows his stuff. Very good !
Agreed

Wow, amazing video!
Glad you think so!
Im not sure why everyone recommends a swivel gun , if you put a quick disconnect on your hose it also functions as a swivel
Not when it’s under pressure.
Keav continues to talk about upgrading the hose.
Which hose is he talking about:
1) the pressure washer to the gun or
2)the faucet to the pressure washer?
Nick, I really do appreciate you continuing to dumb it down for the rest of us… I’m glad you have not lost that aspect of how you serve your detailing community.
Both, but the machine to your hand is the most important.
Put my system together with an Active 2.3 pro using an upgraded MTM gun, MJJC pro 2.0 foam cannon using high-end 50 ft stainless steel braided hose, all the good swivels and quick connects. I use a 1.25 orifice and get great results. Spent less then $900 for everything.

Is this too strong of a pressure washer? I haven’t purchased any attachments in fear that it wasn’t safe for cars. Many searches suggest staying further back and using a 40 degree tip to avoid paint damage.
You can reduce pressure by nozzle selection
Hey Keav, if there’s a chance I love to see you testing an AVA pressure washer 🙏
He already has.
This guy’s OCD is on my level when it comes to mods 🤗
Keav is great
Ready
Thank you.
I'd love to hear more about the European 220v pressure washers. Is it possible to get one here in the states?
Anything is possible

Check with our distributor that’s local to you
Https://diydetail.com/pages/distributors
Does anyone have any thoughts about the Ava brand of pressure washers. Really it is a whole solution, stubby wand, foam canon, and a servicable unit.
Keav has a video about them
Own it. It’s fantastic. For $350 it’s gonna be hard to beat with a 10yr serviceable warranty. Foam cannon with incredible suds is magical.
Thing about electric pressure washers cheap ones you cannot get parts to repair them .when they tear up you need to buy another one .expensive ones you can get parts and repair them .cheaper gas pressures do not have a divert valve on them and if you leave them running it will burn up the pump.

@1st from Puerto Rico, saludos!
Thank you.
Came for the Ryobi comments
Thank you.
What would you recommend for a gas system? I
For detailing you want approximately 1000 psi at 2 to 2.5 GPM
My 1st and only pressure washer is the Kranzle 1122TST, that with the OG gun.
Good choice
Smart guy. Once you use that setup, everything else would feel like a waste of money.
First and can't wait!
Thank you.
The last 10+ years my life has been spiraling addiction, since I got introduced to Detailing 😂🤦♂️
It’s common
Pressure = Force/Area. It’s nothing to do with length. The Force is reducing due to an imperfect system.
Thank you.
For me, home user, my Ryobi 1800 works well. Got it for $80. I could replace it 4X for price of Active. Also a Raincovo short gun off Amazon for like $20.
Nice
I use the diy detail rinseless wash and want to now use a battery powered sprayer to pre-spray the car instead of a pump sprayer.
I am interested in getting a Ryobi EZClean 600 PSI power cleaner for other usages but feel like it may work for spraying rinseless wash on the car.
Has anyone tried that? Figured it might dispense too much liquid and waste the solution too fast.
Cars with keav did just that. Search for the power cleaner here on youtube and it should be the first one in the results.

It works amazing for rinseless wash.
I am dissapointed with the Ryobi EZClean 600 PSI. I really want to try out the new Dewalt 1000 PSI 60v system (DCPW1000B 60V MAX). Might have a chance at making a real foam cannon work. The Ryobi just doesn't have the oomph for a real foam cannon. I even tried dropping down to 0.9 orifices in three different foam cannons, but not enough flow / pressure to get foam.
@@AMI_Detail Its for sure meant more for rinseless wash more than a foam wash. The 1200 PSI battery one from Ryobi will foam good though. 1K PSI and 60 volts let us know how it goes that seems a bit heavy. I prefer the RYOBI 18v ez clean as its much lighter than the 40v one.
I’m skipping all the auto detailing focused machines and building a Canpump 230v wall mount setup. Will be able to get 3-3.5 gpm and 2500psi for surface cleaning and then turn down the PSI for auto detailing.
Perfect

@@diydetailofficial😅
Man pressure washers , foam cannons? Ivan would be turning in his grave right now lol jk
No, they are fun
What about those of us in SoCal with so many water restrictions? I use portable DI water from my laboratory and some of Keav's advice for Fanttik products. Fanttik just came out with a cordless 15 liter, up to 725 psi product. I tend to really like Fanttik products and use the DIY products almost exclusively. Wondering if anyone has tried out this new product and if Keav might be testing it out soon. It seems ideal for those of us living with intense water restrictions. I've used the Fanttik NB8 Nano Portable Pressure Washer that Keav recommended with DI water to rinse my car and the 1.8L Cordless Electric Foam Sprayer, 2000mAh Car Wash Foam Gun from Amazon that Keav demonstrated with DIY Incredible Suds with much success, but would like something with a bit more umph and capacity.
I’m sure he will
@@diydetailofficialboth of your respective channels are absolutely the best! I learn from every video post! The same goes for Pan’s channel.
Look for a 5 or 7 year warranty on pressure washers. That’s a company backing their products & components.
2 year warranty equals red flag 🚩.
Thank you.
Buy once cry once.

Before I spiral out of control I’m just gonna keep paying someone to wash and wax my car. It takes zero effort lmao. I got 4 cars and don’t have the time to waste washing myself, it cost me more money to take a day off work. Plus it’s a tax write off

Good luck getting 200 hours from an Active 2.0, it will start leaking water from underneath at
We have never had one
Pan is not a detailer like the DIY boys and others, he is a paid marketer for detailing products!
Haters hate.
@@alanhefter4659 haters gona hate and playa's gona play. Fact will never change his a sell out.
You couldn’t be further from the truth. Most of the videos he does are not paid, and if they are he makes it very clear.
My Ryobi is still going better than all the others. They're all the same overpriced.
lol fair enough you’ve washed thousands of cars with that beast
Ryobi is awesome! It does everything I need to wash a car. It’s totally fine. I got 50Ft of uberflex hose and a short gun will a longer attachment piece and it’s been running now 2 years with weekend washes and no sigh of problems at all
I don't know about the same, but Ryobi for sure will get the job done no problem. Used one for years, but after trying out the bigger ones I wont ever go back. Its needs and wants just like anything else in life from shoes to coffee I could care less about expensive anything else except for car mods, detailing and lawn equipment. LOL
To each their own.
I like my Ryobi. But, it is only four years old and the foam handle has now fallen off. And I hardly ever use the pressure washer. WTF?
@Keave, with electric pressure washers being so prolific, WHY haven't Foam Cannon makers optimized foam cannons to work at lower GPM Flow Rates eg. 1.3 to 1.5 or .6? Great video.
Many include the 1.1 orifice for that reason
