Right now I am running a gas-powered pressure washer. 2 gpm @ 2100 psi. The power washer I have is made by Ex-Cell.

Now as for the foam cannon/lance (whatever people call it), it's from a company on the 'net called pwmall.com. I ordered the FC and an adapter, shipped for only about $70. Had it within 2 days.

My wand comes apart around the middle. So I was able to shorten the length by half. I made a quick connect set-up with brass fitting and some Teflon tape (to make a nice seal, plus it's really cheap) so I can switch between the FC and a fan style nozzle, without killings myself to try and quickly switch by having to take things apart.

Now, my current wand set-up is temporary. I am looking at getting just a trigger (which is way shorter than my current set-up), a longer hose and another nozzle(s). Hopefully sometime over the next month or so.

I have been talking to another detailer in North Carolina, and he helped me with a few tips on making my set-up. I will be making mine similiar to his in time.

Before you ask, this will work with an electric power washer. The guy from NC is using one with his set-up. I believe it's a Karcher PW. I like gas-powered ones better myself, as they can be a bit more powerful, and one less cord to hassle with.

I will try and post some pics of my set-up some time this week.

-Roger.
