I do the leaf blower thing as well and I dont pay any attention to my neighbors considering how dirty their cars are so if they think im weird, I dont care

You might want to be careful where it is spraying underneath the car since there are wires and connectors that can be damaged. I clean my undercarriage pretty thoroughly, but I put my car up on a lift and just wipe it down with a rag and all purpose cleaner.

Yep I know what your saying but this doesnt spray with the full 4000psi, maybe 1800 but that could also damage something but I am very careful using but thanks for the tip!

Have a very similar tool as well for my pressure washer. They are handy, espeically for those of us in cold winter climates where you want to get all that corrosive nastiness off the underside of your car regularly.

been looking at this Karcher one for a while, I know you can find fitting to attach it to any conventional Pressure washer, only thing holding me back is my driveway being on an incline and is a bit rough and I am not sure it would roll across it well enough for it to work properly but who knows I might take the plunge later this summer

Yea I would have bought that one maybe but I didnt think you could attach to any pressure washer that wasnt their brand.
