whats the best pressure washer for the money. Not lookin to spend a lot but something to get the job done, nothing electric... if they make those :huh . im just tired of scrubbing my quad to death when it just gets completely dirty again 5 mins later. And after watching my friend use a pressure washer on his bird cage i cant imagine how nice its gunna look! and take 1/10 of the time!

dont use pressure washers. when you use a pressure washer it has so much power that is sprays the greese right out of all your joints. unless you plan on greesing after every pressure wash i suggest use the hose. i used one for awhile and took off my rear pivot bolt and it didnt come out. lets just say i had to get a new one and leave it at that.

I have a honda 5 hp which works great. There is different caps that effect the power so the most powerful one is like at the car wash but you can also make it alittle more powerful than a garden hose. I forgot how much money it was, not too bad though is what i know.

I have that 5HP Honda with the interchangable tips. Works awesome. The green one works best for cleaning the bike and quad, and the yellow one for cars. Be careful with it though, my dad stripped some clearcoat off my sister's Eclipse with it..
