We built something like that a while back! Our problem was GPM. We had a 4 gpm for soap, then a 8 gpm hot with a wax and DI rinse. It was great except the tailgate of trucks and backs of vans/suvs. I wonder how they resolved that? It is amazing the time it saves, although ours took 20 minutes to set up...and there were always cars it didn't work for, in grass, on display, stacked 3-4 deep.

Cool video link Danny. When are you getting one?

Not happening. It looks impressive but it wouldn't get the dirt off the cars here in DFW. Not enough volume or pressure. Not to mention how often you would have to refill that tank. We tried to get the owner of the company that makes them to come on Fleet Wash Academy and discuss it with us, but he joined and never posted anything. It's a good Idea and may work on dealerships that get washed 2 or three times per week.
 
There is apparently a guy in Atlanta that has a 24 box truck with swing out booms and 3. 1000 gallon tanks. They swing out and spray the cars and a couple guys wipe them down. Sounds efficient. My buddy that runs a car lot was telling me about it..

Like Russ said looks like some kind of agricultural sprayer....or a portable redneck shower.

I had a guy who was running a biker rally ask for a quote on using my rig (tanks and a shurflo pump) to set up a shower at the rally. I quoted him a price but must have been too high.

Well actually he asked about turning the pressure down and using the heat from the burner for hot water and I said no to that but told him I would use a shurflo instead and had a black tank we could set out in the sun and that would heat the water some.
 
That is too cool. I need something like that built for cleaning roofs...:yeah:
 
Where's the reclaim?

Russ you are spot on. I spent most of life on a working tobacco and cattle farm, this is definitely a large area sprayer most likely for weeds in a large field or grassy area. It wouldn't be used in a garden since it is truck mounted and the truck is too low to the ground and would knock down any plants before spraying them.
