Here's the scoop. Nick makes a strong point about buying the unit that will save time and result in a cleaner finish, and given what he does, I am sure the net-net on the hot water pays real dividends.

My issue is two-fold and uses Nick's logic introducing the fact that I'm saving for a vapor blaster that I will use 10 hours per week every week at a minimum, and the one I need is a significant purchase. That's what my capital equipment account is focused on right now. Since I'll do just 4 cars per year with a pressure washer, it's a long amortization schedule to spend $2K on a hot unit.

Like I said, there is some serious clay-like material on this tub near the front fender wings. That's the real test. The rest is grimy but I think (we'll see) will manageable with cold/100F water.

Good advice all around.
