Car Care Kit

It matters little what profession you have to give you the tools of the trade, and you must make sure that you have the right tools to ensure the effectiveness and safety during work. For years before retirement, I was in the operation of mobile platforms for washing and cleaning of cars and fleet vehicles car auction, car and mega-dealers involved morning parked cars in the ports, after being unloaded from the ships themselves.

Not long ago I was to another operator’s mobile car wash, who wanted to talk about entering the business of cleaning cars and major car dealers. His biggest concern was one of this type of equipment is necessary.

What kind of pressure washer or high pressure hot water systems, recovery, storage tanks, pipes and even used. In fact, the pipes are in your company uses high pressure cleaner is very important not only for the efficiency and ease of use, but also for reasons of security. Here is his question and I am sure will be interested to hear the answer if you also own a mobile car wash business;

“What size should I pipe diameter for my pressure washer platform, when I go out and wash yourself a lot of cars at auto dealers in my car for mobile use?

Now I use a hose 3 / 8, it is easier to maneuver and easier. Remember, too, because these pipes to break a lot, because you bend all the time, I recommend that you pin-pricks, which allows all the heat and pressure to cope better with the rubber, I recommend Goodyear hose not cheapo Chinese brands.

You also need a blue hose that will not leave marks on the floor or on your hands or on equipment or vehicles, if you accidentally press the refresh long. I recommend double steel braid, and the factor of safety of 50-the pressure of work and double the burst pressure that you must feel. So if you are working with 3000 PSI, a pressure of 4000 or 4500 and an operating pressure of 6000 PSI burst rating of the pipe.

If you get with an operating pressure of 1500-2500 then 3500-4000 and a tube of 4500-5000 broke par. Also not to exaggerate, because you pull these tubes on the ground much longer, then help carry steel inside hands, this kind of sucks, but get used to. I wear cycling gloves with open fingers when working with the hose and gun. Please consider all this.
