Apologies if you know this already but you can't use PVC pipe with a pressure washer. There is too much pressure

FACTS

It won’t last long. You’ll have a miniature PVC explosion, depending on the PSI of the pressure washer.

Yeah this washer is used for a hose attachment only. But it does provide enough pressure without a pressure washer to get the salt, dirt, and chemicals off your undercarriage effectively

Reading your thread I was surprised no one had mentioned this after gdgraph posted.

We use one of these for our work vehiles. You need 51/2" of clearance to use it, but it works good.

I know what you mean, my idea is more of a DIYers who want a fun inexpensive project that works great and I feel it gives better range and control than a sprinkler as it covers more areas and you can know where its washed underneath without having to guess cause you use the top of my undercarriage washer a guide

yeah I'm sure that works good but for lower cars id be worried about scraping, plus it seems like that can be very expensive.

yeah, I figured yours would work better with trucks... and yeah mine was about 15 bucks or so to make I'm sure the one you have is a lot more powerful but for someone looking for an inexpensive and effective solution, the PVC does the job.
