What a sweet set up! Looks awesome. I took your prior advice in another thread and had Llumar Formula One Pinnacle installed on my R1S. Very happy with it. My question is, what product do you use to clean windows with Llumar tint? I was told to avoid anything with any form of vinegar solution. Not sure what that leaves.Having a fixed pressure washer setup makes washes so much easier, and faster. Setup and clean up are effortless. Rivian and Tesla get washed once a week. With the DI water, I no longer wait until ~4PM for the sun to get fully behind the house and allow the driveway to be shaded. Washes in full sun are easy peasy.
The only thing left to add are a few shelves between the pressure washer shelf and spotless system, for my iK pump sprayers.
