After wheeling, power washing is a must.
In the future would like to have a small portable electric like a Karcher 1500psi?
What is everybody here using? Is 1500 psi enough or ?
This is what Ryan's Rig looked like after wheeling a few weeks ago after our
River Road playground, under the hood..

So here is proof that Ryan does wash the Jeep!
We finally got around to it today (stopped raining)
His Karcher is I think a 1600 psi? with soap holder, it did well..
Any ideas for me on a small, portable, inexpensive electric washer?

I think I have the same one. Never used it on the KJ.

I just use regular hose power, and dishsoap/simple green mixed, cover the alternator and go to town. Works well.

Ryan's was so bad HJ, I had to use a soft scrub brush on parts with soap, a sponge with soap to clean plastics and rad cover etc. We also did remove the air box as under it, was a mud cake. It so needed spraying inside! Ya to dish soap, will remember that one for next time.
Will get some simple green too, I have used a mixture of fantastic/Ivory for really greasy areas before too. Ryan I think loaded the power washer with simple green, as they do require special soaps.
On my KJ yesterday was able to lay down on a pizza box (lol) and get the frame rails and skids and pretty much everything else under Jeep cleaned out..much better!
Lots of different power washers to choose from!

I have a small electric one I have had for 6 or 7 years now, can't remember the name of it? Works great I think its 1500 or so as well, picked it up at a discount place for like 55 bucks
I wash mine from end to end, top to bottom as soon as I get home from any off roading
