Am looking for feed back and help with two items that want to purchase this week for use on cars I will be detailing.

Cam Spray Foam Cannon: definately going to purchase this item for prepping cars before detail to reduce swirls and scratches. wanted to know if it is campatible with any electric preasure washers other then the Cam Spray 1500A. It looks like a great preasure washer but I am just trying to get things in motion and in all honesty, it is just outsite my budget.

Is there a cheaper Electric preasure washer available that it is compatible with?

Lastly, I asked Phil about cleaning carpets and he told me the best option is to spritz some Adam's spray and then extract the soiled carpet.

Is the Aztec Extractor the best that is out there? Read reviews on other extractors like the Duramaid and all were poor but the Aztec Extractor was on top of all reviews each time.

Do all of you share this view? would the Aztec be the best purchase for what I am looking to do?

thanks alot, you guys have all been alot of help!

marcus,

the cam spray foam canon can fit other pressure washer with the correct adapter.

I can honestly say there a few out there but haven't done the research on them yet.

A Karcher is a good low cost alternative however I blew about 5 up in one year equaling the same amount as the cam spray pressure washer (which is rated at 10x's the hours a consumer one will be)

As for the extractor how many cars do you plan on doing that need this type of work?

 

I plan on doing between one to three cars per day.

so I need an extractor that will put up the work load but is small and portable as well with alot of pull so that the job will go buy quick.

guess I will get the more expensive preasure washer if it is going to last longer

Mytee-Lite 8070 if you are mobile or the Mytee HP60 if you are more fixed.

 

if you plan on doing 1-3 the one that I have

Duramaid is probably not enough

For more info on extractors call up Kevin Farrell at Kleen Car.

Tell him I sent you.

 

I just purchased one of the Cam Spray Cannon Attatchments from your site. had to search around but I found an adaptor for the Karcher PW's. will use a cheap PW from Walmart to get started and as I progress will try upgrading to the Cam Spray PW that you have.

thanks again

can you post the adapter manufacturer and model numbers of the adapters and maybe price I'm going to start logging this stuff in...


thanks and enjoy.

 

Karcher Adapter A

Karcher Adapter B

I ordered the adapter for the first link. it is only five dollars. will find out if it really works when I get it in the mail this weekend. karcher adaptor A

 

I own an Aztec extractor. For how often I use it, it's great. I am mobile and keep everything in a Sprinter. Fortunately, for me, I have the space.

But if I were a fixed location actually cleaning 1-3 carpets per day I would use a truck mount steam cleaner. They cost much more but have the power and are heated by propane instead of waiting 20 minutes for the water to heat up in an Aztec. At 1-3 steams per business day the machine will easily pay for itself and save you a crazy amount of time.

Aztec
PRO's: small, portable, light, built really tough, at aprox. $600 shipped it's priced right, does fantastic on a car here and there.

CON's: It takes about 20 minutes to heat up the tank of water.
It does not hold but about 2/3 gallons, so on larger jobs you may have to refill and wait to heat up more water.
