If you have not already watched it, watch this video as it explains each of these upgrades in detail. Must have upgrades for your pressure washer YouTube video

This is my favorite mid grade electric pressure washer upgrade kit. Shown with the Karcher Cube this mid grade kit is plug and play with Kranzle, Active and most other popular pressure washers. I always recommend purchasing the best quality tools that you can afford. If you are on a budget this is a great kit. This kit is plug and play with most electric pressure washers with the parts listed below. Here is what you will need.

#1- M22 (14mm) to 3/8" Male Stainless Plug This male plug attaches to the pressure washer m22 14mm water out put fitting. This connection enables a female quick disconnect to be used to connect & disconnect the pressure washer hose to and from the pressure washer. Great upgrade. (Pressure washer hose must be outfitted with a 3/8” female quick disconnect installed on both ends)

#2- M22 (14mm) to 3/8" Female Quick Disconnect Coupler (One for each end of the hose 2 total) These fittings convert this mid level grade hose from M22 connections to 3/8” female quick disconnects. After this conversion these female quick disconnects can now be connected to the pressure washer 3/8” Male Plug and the 3/8” Male Plug on the short gun.

#3- M22 (14mm) Factory Fittings These fittings are permanently attached to both ends of the hose from the factory.

#4- Mid Level grade 50’ Pressure Washer Hose This mid quality hose is light weight and kink free but is not commercial grade. This hose is not steel braided and because of that it will slightly expand and contract under pressure. With some pressure washers that have an extremely sensitive pressure switch this small distortion can cause surging or pressure washer over or under run. This is very minor and most people do not notice or do not mind. For me its worth mentioning. This hose does come with factory fittings that thread directly to the pressure washer. To add quick disconnects you will need the following.

#5- M22 (14mm) Factory Fittings These fittings are permanently attached to both ends of the hose from the factory.

#6- M22 (14mm) to 3/8" Female Quick Disconnect Coupler (One for each end of the hose 2 total) These fittings convert this mid level grade hose from M22 connections to 3/8” female quick disconnects. After this conversion these female quick disconnects can now be connected to the pressure washer 3/8” Male Plug and the 3/8” Male Plug on the short gun.

#7- Short gun A short gun with a swivel puts an end to the long rifle style guns that come on most pressure washers. This puts you up close and in control of the sprayer as well as the foam cannon. Its a must have. User experience is greatly improved with these short guns. All of these short guns have quick disconnects on the front for a sprayer tip or a foam cannon. These all have male plug live swivels on the bottom that will connect to the 3/8 female connection on your pressure washer hose and smoothly swivel even while the PW is on. This will eliminate twisted hoses. Twisted hoses are a big problem without the live swivel. All three of these are compatible with this kit and suitable for full time commercial use although the different quality levels match their respective price points.

Top of the line short gun By far the highest quality gun that I have ever used. Its premium but worth the money. Will last many years of constant Commercial use. Buttery smooth live swivel and excellent build quality. Live swivel is recessed into the gun making the connection very compact and far less bulky than the others. I have had it for years and it still looks and operates like the day I bought it. You get what you pay for. There are cheaper versions listed below but they are less quality and less durable. Review YouTube video

Mid grade short gun (Shown in Pic) Great quality on a mid tier budget. Will produce a higher end user experience and last a a long time in a high use environment. Good smooth live swivel with slightly less quality than the top tier model. Swivel sticks out of the bottom a bit making this section slightly more bulky. This is my second choice if you are on a tighter budget.

Entry level short gun Gets you in the game. Works well in a high use environment but lacks in the details and quality of the better guns. Still a great gun and perfect if you are on a tighter budget

Short gun wand extension Fits on all above short guns. Extend the short gun to reach those to to get to areas. Great for roof tops of large vehicles or inside wheel wells.

#8- Sprayer Nozzle / Tip My favorite tip or nozzle for auto detailing is a 40 degree. It has a wide fan with great coverage. There are different quality levels but they all work great. The rubber protected tip is a bit more money but it will earn its keep the first time you accidentally hit the paint.

Protected Rubber TIP: 40 degree Nozzle High quality black. Great for wide fan pattern auto detailing. Has a protective rubber guard to protect against unwanted contact with delicate paint surfaces. Choose the orifice size to match your pressure washer. (KRANZLE 1322TS - 4.0 ACTIVE - 5.0 KARCHER CUBE 3.0)

Rubberized Protected Colored TIP Set 40° 25° 15° 0° High quality multi fan patterns with industry standard colors. Great for auto detailing. Has a protective rubber guard to protect against unwanted contact with delicate paint surfaces. Choose the orifice size to match your pressure washer. (KRANZLE 1322TS - 4.0 ACTIVE - 5.0 KARCHER CUBE 3.0)

Unprotected Economical Spray Tips (shown in pic) Hard plastic and will damage paint if you bump it. Can be used but be careful. Choose the orifice size to match your pressure washer. (KRANZLE 1322TS - 4.0 ACTIVE - 5.0 KARCHER CUBE 3.0)

Foam Cannon

Foam cannons are not created equal. There are small differences that add up to a great user experience and premium performance. If you want to learn more about these differences check this out.

MJJC Direct from the manufacturer or Amazon My Favorite foam cannon, Great Quality and in this business you get exactly what you pay for. This foam cannon is very well built, produces the best foam from my testing and is worth every penny.

-$15 Amazon Cheapo but an OK Entry Level Foam Cannon. I use it for high PH wheel cleaners and other chemicals that I do not want to mess up my MJJC using. Its worth having a few of these as a backup if you have a few extra bucks to spend.
