costco $15~ water gun review

[silvermist99]

I bought this water from costco back in June and didn't get much chance to wash the car this year with the stupid rain.

Anyways I just did a quick 30min wash on the car tonight and took some pics/ review.

I found this thing at costco in markham, markham road & dension area. It looks pretty big and cool plus it was cheap, costed $10-15 I forgot. It has an area on the top where automotive soap can be inserted. There is a knob on the top of this gun that I can switch between water and water+soap.

It comes with two nozzles, one is a jet that sprays dirt of the car/prewash. The other one is shower to wash it slowly.

This thing is awesome! The power of this gun with the jet nozzle is quite strong, enough to get the big dirt off the car. Not quite power washers like but its stronger the other guns i've used. I prespray the car with water first, then do a layer of soap. After that I wash the car with these mitts I got from costco (which is also like $10 I think). When this is done I spray the car again with water, clean rims with cloth then waterblade it dry. 30 ish mins to clean the car depends on how fast I do it.

close, mccawan and a little south of hwy7. The bur oak houses don't have garage connecting to the house, have to step through the backyard. The one I'm in does :D

[Flagrum_3]

I agree also the car looks mean :)

[Iceman_F1]

Looks cool. Too bad I don't go to costco. Might have to look around for something similar.

[Jeff-TheBiz]

Wtf is attached to the top? A scope?

Is this a long range sniper Car Washer?

Planning to do a couple of jobs? Turning into a 'cleaner'?





Okay, I'm done.

My garage slopes down and water runs out of the garage quickly.

Okay, I'm done.

The scope is an extender that can be added on to wash things further away. Pretty useless but it looked cool leaving it on the gun :chuckle.

[blackspeed3]

not bad for 15 bux!

[silvermist99]

its actually 9.9 something at costco!

[oni]

damn, that's cheap for a water gun.

off to costco!

[RX9]

washing the car inside the drywalled garage??

[silvermist99]

yeah I wash it in a drywalled garage without getting the walls wet.

[axelf911]

How's the water pressure? Does it do enough to chip paint if you spray too close?

[silvermist99]

How's the water pressure? Does it do enough to chip paint if you spray too close?

The water pressure is decent, about as strong as you can get off a non pressured washer.

If you point the nozzle 2mm from the paint and hold it at the same spot for 2 hrs it can probably chip the clearcoat off. Other then that it should be safe.

I think they raised the price, last time I walked by it was going for $13-14+?

[Soyabean]

Which costco sells them? I dont believe I see them anymore

The woodbine/hwy 7 one in Markham had them last time I went (back in mid April). In the automotive section, but prices went up, it wasn't 9.99 last time I checked.

Keep it in mind for next year. Everyone can bring one and we can have a big water gun fight.

Anyone see one of these in other costcos. Would like to get one. Maybe they are sold out until next spring? Live in Richmond Hill and work in Scarborough.

[leungly]

Yeah I saw it this year however haven't seen any in the last month or so. It'll likely come back in March/April I think.

[ericssonfan]

Yes! Finally somebody else that has seen this and actually used it.. I saw this the last time I was at Costco which was summer.
I was thinking of getting it but skeptical on how good it would be. I'll be on the lookout for it next time I'm there.

I had a Simoniz Pressure washer and the handle/wand split in half and it was way too much to replace it.
