Since you may have just started down the rabbit-hole of the wall-mounted and ready to go pressure washer world, I highly recommend three things, if you don't already have them:

1) A de-ionizing system like https://crspotless.com/products/diw-20-high-output-wall-mounted for "spot-free" rinsing. It's glorious.
2) A "foam cannon" for applying car wash soap.
3) A powerful cordless "leaf blower" to speed up drying. Like: https://www.makitatools.com/products/details/GBU01M1

Your car is white, it seems, so the different won't be as dramatic as it would be on say a Black car, but having used all of the above for many years, I am never going back to the old days. I can wash, rinse, and dry a car in five minutes if I rush it. Fifteen minutes if not. And without touching/rubbing anything.

Item 1 looks interesting!!
Item 2 I have but am going to update it as I don’t like my harbor freight version and the little one that came with the wall mounted unit is tiny ..

item 3 brilliant idea! I will add something like this.

Thanks

There are quite a few "good" foam cannons, but even more bad ones - including most of those that come for free with inexpensive pressure washers.
I started out with one of the cheap ones, which I liked, but switching to a good one was a revelation. I use: https://www.amazon.com/MJJC-Thicker-Technology-Connector-Pressure/dp/B0CYY3YZGD/
You of course get the best foam cannon results when using a wash soap that says it was made for foam cannons. Again there are plenty of good brands.

Can you share which wall mounted unit that is?

I am way down the rabbit hole on detailing….although admittedly, I enjoy rinseless washing more than the pressure washer these days. That said, a wall mounted setup with a hose reel and DI water is convenient when you want to go that route.

It is about as good as a cheap big box store washer with 100ft of hose.

I have no real complaints so far as it is way better than dragging a big box store washer around the car and then putting it all away. Power is enough for the car.

I wouldn’t say it is amazing. But I am happy with it after initial use.

Ok, so now I'm envious!

I hate my Karcher with a passion - it has the world's most tangliest hose ever (and that's the anti-tangle one).

Never knew this was a thing and will now look into getting one!

Nice setup there!
