Mobile pressure washer opinions / recommendations
Discussion
Would like to get a mobile pressure washer to take with me in the car and hose the bike down after muddy rides. Unfortunately don't have the budget for a nomad so am considering either the Mobi V15, Mobi V17 or Airace. Anyone using one of these and care to share their experiences? Any alternatives I have missed?

Doubt that would have the pressure required to shift mud etc. The ones mentioned run of a 12V power supply. Would just be good to hear from others who have one and could recommend it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZwKE4yd2QI
I've had my Mobi V17 for about three or four years now and it's been brilliant. I tend to take it to any winter rides and races with me just in case I need it. It will happily run off the cigarette lighter socket with the engine running.
Only thing I've had go wrong was leaving it out in the garage in a recent cold snap when the hose froze up and popped the gun off the end. luckily there was no permanent damage and it seems to be working well again now.
It's also pretty handy when you're cleaning the windows at home!

Got the Airace one that looks like a decapitated K9, it's great, one fill is enough for a bike normally, two if really filthy. It's only downside it has to be plugged into a vehicle, which I find ok, but if you wanted more mobility to use in the pits at a cross race it wouldn't hack it. But it sits in my van ready to get the worst off before going home and finishing off.

I use a garden sprayer, the pressures not great but it's usually enough to get the worst off around the gears etc - the rest I leave until I get home. I've got the Mobi V17, or something that looks very much like it, except it's green instead of blue, and branded Aqua 2 Go or something like that. I assume they're all made in the same Chinese factory anyway.
It's great! Works really well, and just about the perfect strength, in that it shifts mud really well, but not so strong that you'll worry about bearing seals.
The reservoir will do one bike really, really thoroughly, or will do two if you don't want showroom condition.

I asked this question a while back - but as I don't have a cigarette lighter socket in my car, I needed something battery powered.
Ended up buying the Sealey PW1712 that was recommended. On the whole very good, and shifts mud well (while its still damp). The recharging socket has started rusting so the connection is a bit iffy now, but still working, and I bring it to races in the winter.
