mounting a pressure washer on the wall for vehicle washing

[fatboyracing]

I have a gas powered pressure washer but I hardly use it, if I had an electric one mounted on the wall in the garage I might use it more.

This would be for washing cars nothing else

Any suggestions

I don't know about one that you can mount on the wall, but there are certainly plenty of good portable electric units. I have a Karcher that I use for all my detailing work which works great. I am sure you could figure out a way to hang it or just let it sit on the floor.

Which model?

I'm looking at getting one to use for washing my cars. Don't need some crazy badass one, just to use a few times a month on my car(s)

I am pretty sure I have the Karcher K.3740, which I really like. I previously had a cheap greenworks from Lowes which worked just fine also, but I wanted the Karcher because it can siphon from a water tank I have in my garage for use over the winter.

you want at least 3 GPM to be able to run a foam cannon.

What model/models would you recommend?

I beleive I was wrong on that GPM number. its one of those days..

Here is a link to our local foam cannon thread, its got alot of info on pressure washers aswell.

I'm having serious brain related issues today, but I seem to remember reading during all that research awhile back.
That to get proper action from a foam cannon, the pressure washer needed to be at minimum 1800psi and 3gpm.

But I have researched so much since then its hard to remember correctly.

I am going to have to disagree with that statement. As you can clearly see in the description for the foam lance on Detailed Image you can using it with pretty much any pressure washer from 800-3000 psi. Tons of people are using foam lances with cheap $100 units from lowes and home depot. Honestly you will safe with most units. I know a lot of people have the karchers and are happy with them.
