Hey,
So I've been using this Turbo Power Wash for many months now and I figure it's time to let you all know how I feel about this product. If you have no idea what I'm talking about, here is the product link for it:

The unit itself features a simple design that any fool can learn how to use without even reading the instructions. You just screw the little adapter piece to a garden hose and then plug the bottom of the TPW (Turbo Power Wash) into the adapter to make connection easy (as opposed to screwing the entire gun onto the end of the hose...that would be annoying). Then -or before attaching to the hose- simply unscrew the top cap labeled "SOAP" and fill it with your favorite car soap (supposedly, you can also fill it with car wax) and you're ready to go.
Now all you do is pull the trigger and fire away...the water sprays through the adjustable nozzle which features 6 different heads, ranging from light sprays to higher-pressure jet streams. Simply hose down your car -or one section of the car- and then proceed to soap it up. You do this by pushing this switch at the top to the left (or to the right, I forget which one, but it's clearly labeled). The switch is easy to operate and allows you to adjust the soap/water mixture to your preference. I usually put it all the way on soap and spray it in bursts all over the section of the car I am focusing on, then I just switch it back to Water and rinse it off.
Now it all seems awfully easy and painless, and it is! The adjustable nozzles are great for when you wanna focus on the wheels or the body of the car, and the whole thing is setup for a completely touchless wash. But what I have found is that it does not really do the typical deep clean of using a wash mitt and a bucket of soap/water mixture. The wash is only surface-deep and does not get rid of rain spots and tougher dirt/road grime. The car will look impressively clean from far away, but if you examine the paint close up, you will not be a happy camper. This by no means makes the TPW a bad product at all, but it does not make it the true"touchless car washer" they make it out to be. After you rinse the car and apply the soap mixture, it's a good idea to pull out the trusty wash mitt and scrub the car yourself, then rinse off with the TPW. This will give you a great clean, but makes it no longer and touchless, and adds the regular amount of car washing effort on your part.
The product is definitely worth the price of $30 and can be used for many other purposes than simple car washing (I use it to wash my ATV's, and the web site suggests using it for washing house windows, rinsing out gutters, etc.). In fact, for only $30 (plus shipping, of course) it's hard to justify NOT purchasing this thing and finding a good use for it. I guess in the end it all comes down to if you are serious about a good hand wash every time and you don't have any other use for this thing, you should probably save your loot and stick to the classic wash mitt + bucket method.
