I remember this video. lol. That's pretty cool. That was the old SPM controller. They were awesome controllers, but the compact size of the SR and the XCT makes them far more versatile.

True. Would do a nice job on the seats too! Stupid is infinite!!

Then I blast it all off and it looks like a totally different cart.

Perfect!

Pretty sure my garden hose does 1800 psi! (joking)
I’m used to the Karcher I use that I upgraded to a 3500 psi pump. I use it to strip paint on occasion. Lower pressure is a good point. I’m sure most people don’t have a pressure washer with that much juice.
I do use mine to wash carts with, but it’s not a way I recommend to people. I kind of assume that if someone is asking, they’re not familiar with using that type of equipment, and it makes them more likely to ruin their stuff.

I would also recommend not washing cart on driveway. Many times you'll get those pesky rust stains if your cart is electric.

Yep. If at all possible use the next door neighbor's driveway. Of course, for some of us that might be a 1/4 mile away.

Most definitely. I always try to do it over grass or gravel.

SO reading this I get a washed cart might run. And a dirty cart always runs
