Do you want a gas or electric?

The gas units are built better.
My Craftsman unit is 9 years old and I beat the hell out of it I paid $299.

I did replace the pump on it after about 5 years.

My foam gun....haven't decided on a pressure washer to truly get a cannon. Got any suggestions for a pressure washer? Not too cheap....but not super expensive! Any got an ideas of a good pressure washer as the cannons a very much the same from the videos I've watched.

I use a Ryobi electric, I didn't necessarily get it for cars but I got a foam cannon from amazon for 20 bucks (the chemical guys cannon at 89 bucks apparently breaks a lot) and it works great. I use it all around the house and I really like it. being that its electric i don't have to worry about it removing paint... i liked my foam gun i had before but wow the difference in foam between a gun and a cannon are amazing. i have this (link below) 1900 psi washer, but on electric washers that rating is with a 25 degree nozzle, with a 40 degree that # is reduced to about 800 psi ( i found a couple youtube vids that break that down) which is good, especially with the fiestas soft paint.

With pressure washers, its not all about psi. Look at gpm also. A but load of pressure with no flow is not what you want. Most gas units have a much higher gpm. I have a lil refurbished Karcher that's 1500psi and 2.2gpm. Its really hard to find electric units with a high gpm. I have heard good things about the sunjoe ones and they are 1.76gpm for the 2000psi models. Happy shopping.

I actually drove it to work today! The new Turbosmart Kompact recirc. valve sounds awesome. It's like a damn IMSA Quattro! It chuffs and flutters, and PSSSHh depending on how long you are in boost and how much.

Is the hood crunchy carbon as well as the hatch, just painted?

WHY didn't Dave take his plates off the car?
Hood and hatch are carbon fiber. I swapped out the carbon fiber with the oem hood and hatch is being swapped back to oem today. The old man doesn't need much of what is on the car, so the hood and hatch will possibly end up on my 2017 along with some other pieces.

After I get the car to Vegas to be registered plates will go back to Dave

By far my favorite color of the Fiestas! Wish I coulda snagged that color when I got one. Looks great!
I use to have all black cars and got really tired of always seeing them dirty. Then we went to all white cars which can appear clean for so much longer... but feel bland without contrasting accessories. After I ceramic coated the 14, I absolutely love this color as well. Unfortunately this one is for my pops.
