I bought a pressure washer from Costco and been using the combo ever since. My neighbors and people driving are always like "hey, my car next" & if I still have some soap left after my car, I tell them to bring their car over and I use the remaining soap on their cars.

I didn't see your post till after I posted mine, yours wasnt there when I looked at the thread. kinda weird.

do the foam canon basically attach to my water pressure or do i need to buy some kind of attachment? the gun on the water pressure is still used correct?

we just bought a new house as well, so talk about empty bank accounts!!! we also have to remodel all 3 bathrooms, plus a host of other MODS to the new house (50+ LED recessed lights, new paint/flooring/baseboard trim, curtains, closet organizers) etc etc

Only in Silicon Valley do you buy a house for 1.5m and you have to dump another 50k into it! but hey real estate is all about LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION....

Gorgeous house panipuri! LOL i know what you mean by LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION! i heard silicon valley is pretty damn expensive place to live! for me i'm pretty close to everything now vs before i would have to drive 50 miles just to go to Sam's Club or the mall, movie theatre and basically to see civilization lol

i got lucky with my house as the wife and i bought this in December in the middle of winter where out here in Ohio nobody buys houses in the winter. most people start house shopping around Springtime. so we had a pretty good selection of homes to choose from as we were the only bidders on this house which is 4400 sq ft on 1/2 acre lot. it was listed for $360k and we got it down to $299k. the owner's were already moved out and in Cali and basically left the house in the real estate agent's hands.

still working on the upgrades around the house but pretty much the crown moulding, door casings, baseboards and fireplace mantles are all complete. working on finishing up re-staining alot of the dining table, chairs, hutch and masterbedroom furniture! we did have to buy new kitchen appliances. bought the new Fridgidaire Gallery series from Lowe's. LOL never had so much yard before so learning how to mow wasn't the funnest day as it took a good 4 hours to do






if anything what sold me was the 3 car garage!


but here's some pictures of the crown moulding, casings and the mantle i built for the fire place.




the re-staining was tedious as you have to pretty much scuff up or sand down a bit for the new stain to work but it turned out pretty well

here's the color before:


and now satin black!





re tinting or icing if that's what you call it for the front door with the lace pattern


sorry guys i got off topic but that's okay lol!

yeah! i saw their canon's but i'm wondering if there's other alternatives without paying the price CG wants for them. usually their just rebranded with their logo and hike up the price like $50?

You can get them for $16 to $25 on amazon that are as good as the CG one is.

I had to get a 1/4 inch adapter (pictured below) for the foam cannon to work with my pressure washer spray wand.

Yes it works straight with the pressure washer. I didn't have to buy anything, plug and spray!

here is a youtube video I made on it when I first got my car (looks nothing like it now)

that's what i thought! i thought an adaptor would be needed so glad you confirmed that...thanks! i got a couple of those when i bought my compressor i also picked up the assortment kit for it

[lsturbointeg]

T-bolt clamps came in today!


here's one of them mocked up.

[lsturbointeg]

so totally forgot how $hitty my brake calipers looks with all the rust exposed so i ordered the G2 gold caliper paint from R1 Concepts!


i always liked the way bronze wheels look with gold calipers and being that my BMS titanium lugs are gold it should compliment the calipers





Here's a forum member i forgot his screen name but he also did the gold caliper paint with his bronze wheels
