True story. Some people have a hard time with that concept. They're probably the same ones that put 1 quarter in the DIY wash bay, suds up the brush, and go to town on their 89 Accord. Reason #672 why I don't use the brushes at the DIY wash places.
+1 to both of those, so +2? It's a neat pressure washer, and since I store it in my porch, where I watch TV, edit videos, etc. etc., this one's a boon because it doesn't block the signal for my cable box, LOL.
Yeah, it does look like a good one - and with the wheels & telescoping handle, it could be something to keep your eye on if you need a replacement any time soon :D
I wouldn't blast them with high-pressure water, but the foam cannon or one of the lower-pressure nozzles shouldn't hurt them. You can ride a Harley in the rain without damaging the speakers, so I wouldn't think that just getting them soapy or wet would hurt them.
Ahh, good question! It's because I like to do an extra rinse, and with lower pressure, there's less risk of getting water in somewhere it shouldn't. It's surprising, the number of motorcycles I've seen that won't start or run right because water got in somewhere it's not supposed to.
@@RoadReality oh interesting! Makes a lot of sense, and I'm guessing with the power of the foam you don't need that extra rinse power. Looking to buy this washer for my car. Is it still going good today?
@@kevinpalardy8592 The rinse to me is just to get the soap and broken-up dirt off the vehicle, so it needs volume, not pressure. The pressure washer is going great, I highly recommend it
Yeah man! It works great and is so small! I mean, I should've known all the tools were INSIDE of it, but I didn't pay attention to THAT part of the instructions :D Addams, huh? How do you like their stuff compared to Chemical Guys?
You got pretty good foam from your setup. Mine surges with an Amazon foam cannon (not chemical guys Torq). Not sure if it is an issue with the pressure washer or foam cannon (1.2mm orifice). Nice review of this pressure washer. I plan on permanently mounting in the garage with hose reel.
Nice! I'd love a more permanent setup! Yeah, if you're getting surging, I would look at the pressure washer first - mine was doing that because of a leak internal to the pump. This thing just CRANKS compared to my old one.
@@hfjeff2736 Ouch - hopefully they take care of you. All the reviews I read about THIS Dewalt were that it was fantastic and could take a lot of abuse... which is apparently something I need all my tools to be able to do :D About the bike - THANKS! It's Billiard Blue, a 1-year color on the Harley touring bikes. My wife picked it out, haha!
@@RoadReality Dewalt did send a full replacement with all accessories pretty quick. However I sold it and bought an Active VE52 and did a semi-permanent garage install. Hard to beat 2.0 gpm.
@@hfjeff2736 Yeah, can't beat 2gpm - the electrics are stuck at 1.2gpm I think. Congrats on the new system - I'd LOVE a permanent garage setup! And a garage.
The compactness [spell check doesn't barf on it, so it's a word IMO] is a huge benefit! We'll see how this one holds up, but so far so good... and it'll get a workout in a week or so - I'm gonna do the rest of my driveway :D
Gee, thanks Doyle! :D I don't need a gas-powered pressure washer, nor do I really care to have another engine to maintain, and I don't have space to store it.
Always nice to get new tools. Looks like it sure does the job.
Yeah, it sure does! Hopefully this one lasts longer than my Ryobi.
key is dont get right on the bike with the wand, keep a little distance and your bike will be fine

I love Chemical Guys products. Very cool pressure washer. 😎

I bought one of the foam blaster bottles that connects on end of my pressure washer off Amazon for like $10 and that thing works great
Cool! I got mine in a package with a gallon of soap, but it wasn't THAT inexpensive! Good buy! :D
Looks like it is a great set.
I need to get foam cannon for mine i think. It doesn't suds up very well
This thing IS great - at least the first few months' of use, anyway... and yes, get a foam cannon for it - I love mine!
Nice job, still looking with each way to clean my baby.
Yeah, gotta make it easier on yourself, especially with all that brightwork on your bike!
Looks like a good one. I got small one that the wife can move around and clean stuff :)

Is it safe to wash the speakers?, I believe the sound system is sensitive to moisture…
I wouldn't blast them with high-pressure water, but the foam cannon or one of the lower-pressure nozzles shouldn't hurt them. You can ride a Harley in the rain without damaging the speakers, so I wouldn't think that just getting them soapy or wet would hurt them.
Hmm question.. why didn't you pressure wash off the soap?
Ahh, good question! It's because I like to do an extra rinse, and with lower pressure, there's less risk of getting water in somewhere it shouldn't. It's surprising, the number of motorcycles I've seen that won't start or run right because water got in somewhere it's not supposed to.

Can the foam canon connect directly to the handle without the extensions?
I don't think so - it connects to the quick release fitting on the end of the wand.
Love getting new tools/toys!! Looks good!! I usually use Addams cleaning products but do have some Chemical Guys

@@RoadReality Thanks for this info. Just opened a warranty case with Dewalt. Love the color of your bike by the way.

Nice looking washer. Like the compactness, is that a word? Maybe when mine dies, I'll replace it with this.

@@RoadReality 👍
@RoadReality is it still running great no leaks ?
Not a bike guy but man that's a beautiful bike.
Thanks! She shines up nice :D
@@RoadReality sure does!. Stay safe.
@@davidhess3320 You too! Thanks for watching!
Park the bike on the driveway
Good idea!
👍
Water and electricity don't go together. Be a man get a gas power pressure washer
Gee, thanks Doyle! :D I don't need a gas-powered pressure washer, nor do I really care to have another engine to maintain, and I don't have space to store it.
@TheBlueBikeDoyle 😂 be a man! Save the planet and think about the future for your kids, why polute every chance we have
