- Guys, this is a video I put together for you to see how easy it is to make a detailing keg that’s awesome for waterless washing your car. I’ve always wanted one but couldn’t afford one.
With the help and inspiration of Wesley Oakes it is possible to build your own keg for under $200.

Built the same here after a little research, if you use a cheap pressure washer gun with a 40 degree nozzle and 3.5 orifice, you get the fan that really changes things! Also, it still runs forever with just one pressurizing.
Interesting, I can adjust the spray pretty well on this. Will good enough for now.
What parts did you use to get the pressure washer wand on one?
@@1bballplayer2011 was just about to ask the same thing. i bought the other stuff but wanted to use a pressure washer gun
@@1bballplayer2011 I'm trying to figure that out , also
@@CVMarius this is what I bought off Amazon and it worked. YAMATIC Pressure Washer Adapter, M22-14mm Female Thread to 1/4 Inch Female NPT Fitting, Power Washer Connector, 5000 PSI
Thanks for the great video....
Building this setup myself after watching, just buying a solid metal design trigger/handle 👌 was actually even cheaper than the all plastic one in the description.
@@MaximumEffort814 right on. I’ve seen some variations now. Let us know how it goes or post a comment with links
I just completed my keg today. I happened to have a corny keg that I was able to use. Wanted to let everyone know that my ball cap was much thicker than the one you have in the video. It was a real bear to drill through. I ended up having to use just about every drill bit I had stepping up each size drill bit until I finished with a 3/8" bit. As you did in the video, I had to make the hole slightly bigger for the valve to fit. Very happy with the build. Thanks!
Excellent, enjoy it!
Cool DIY rinceless wash pressure washer! My thanks! 😉
Thanks for watching
Sun Distributing is a window tint supplier in Mi. They stock everything to build this. I have purchased from them several times.
You look happier than a kid at Christmas.
I’m smiling ear to ear!
phillip, Is it about the same price? I'm close to michigan
Wondering the same as I am too
I don’t remember what it cost. I just liked the brass spray handle. And they sell complete hose assembly. From quick connect to the spray handle. And the hose I purchased was B5 blue in color. Matched the car. No OCD here.
@@waynewoodrick5055 I just got mine from sun distributing. I got a stainless steel ball lock hose end, 30 ft Kuri red hose, brass nozzle with swivel and sprayer tip. I added a ball lock end with an air hose attachment so I don’t need a schrader valve. All under $200. I got a used keg for $50
awesome vid ben... you had me laughing protecting your face with the bike helmet... looks like a great tool.. i could really use it in the winter
Haha, I was scared
Glad you’re liking it! It’s a fun little DIY. 👍
It’s awesome!!! Thanks for the heads up.
@@DetailingBreakdown No worries... I seen you last night on the ADG FB, Billy is a really super guy. We had been in the same Marines, same 3/3/3 .. We met up a few years ago, it felt like yesterday and forever at the same time.
I am typing with one finger sorry for spelling and missed words, operated on both hands.
@@KevinAClassA it’s all good
Great informative video! I just ordered everything to put this together. Thanks for the parts list.
That’s awesome but Wesley Oakes gets all the credit here. He made it stupid simple for all of us.
@@DetailingBreakdown @wesoakes Thank you both!
Benji been hitting iron paradise lately!? Haha that keg is sweet a whole other level of Rinseless
It’s definitely a fun and great tool to have in your arsenal.
Cool looking little tool you made yourself there Benji!
It’s super cool and fun. How did I wait this long?
Benji,
Outstanding video brother!
Laughs and seriousness, I needed that today. I have never seen you in a shirt and tie, I thought I picked the wrong channel, LOL !!
I have 2 detail kegs (no names) that I use all the time, super impressed with how you did that. I am taking your advice, building one of my own the same way.
Thank you for the excellent content,
Stay safe
Appreciate the kind words! Glad I could help and no matter how bad a day it is, we can try again tomorrow. How r ur other kegs? Any advice for people?
@@DetailingBreakdown I love those thing (Kegs), I use them for prewash, rinse less wash and wheel prep.
@@DetailingBreakdown I went and ordered everything on your list, can't have to many.
@@KevinAClassA I was thinking about adding another. 😂
@@KevinAClassA I can see how good they are now
Awesome video! Safety first always😂😂😂
Haha thanks
Glad ur keg done! I’ve been using mine when I wanna have a change of phase , had it for 5 years from detail keg. I modded and add a few safety features like a pressure regulator , pressure gauge and picked up a Udor sprayer with a half fan pattern. If ur getting a used keg or even a new one u should pressure test it first before diving in. I pressurized mine up to 110 , but if ur not comfortable yet with the psi u can do 80 psi. Pressure regulator will will keep ur pressure consistent far more without a regulator.
I’ll look into it for sure. Ty
Where did u buy a pressure regulator or don’t have a link?
I too would like a link to the regulator you use.
@@shawnhann2858 I out links to everything I bought just the way it was given to me. Look in the description.
Thanks, nice informative and funny video
Haha ty for watching
Yeahhhhh I'm going to need me one of those.
Hell ya!
It’s def not original to me but glad to help you do it for yourself.
Now, I may clean the exterior and get it wrapped or something haha 😂
@@DetailingBreakdown I need to use an old microfiber pad and polish mine or just wrap it in black vinyl I have laying around
@@wesoakes do you have a link to the video where you did this same build? I can't seem to find it on your instagram page
Thanks for the video! I'm going to try making one as well but are you able to keep the pressurized keg in a hot garage? I live in Texas and my garage gets over 100F and I'm not sure if that is safe or not. Thanks!
@@paulkim7663 it was 29+ days in a row over 110 here and the kegs stays in the garage. One week it hit 120 degrees and it didn’t have any problems. If u want u just release the pressure with the pin on top and don’t worry about it. I usually release the air just so the seals and stuff don’t wear out.
Could you have filled it with air using the other quick release connector? would have saved drilling a hole in it. I'm gonna try running a bucket of rinseless through my Ryobi EZ Clean at the weekend.
@@WolfAbarth I don’t know, I followed what Wesley Oakes did as I said in video. I’m sure there are many ways to do this. I used his way and it’s easy for a simpleton like myself.
Thanks for sharing you keg, it looks great. I’m wondering if you might be able to help me get hold of some parts? I’m in the UK and cannot easily get the sprayer trigger and nozzles, as they aren’t available in the UK
I’d say order everything else and go to the store where ur at and get something that fits the hose. Should be simple
Isn't the fitting on the keg without the pick up tube for the original compressed air connection to fill the keg when there is liquid in there. Is there any kind of adapter that can be used to just convert that to a usable valve instead of needing to install the schrader valve manually?
Man, I have no idea about kegs. But if u find out that would be great! Thanks for the great question.
@@DetailingBreakdown Will do already some some research haven't found anything completely perfect yet.
@@DetailingBreakdownIn case you are interested there is nothing that is plug and play but did come across some home made items like cdn.homebrewtalk.com/data/attach/538/538241-IMG-1187.jpg that should do the trick.
Do you have a video using this set up for foam? Have you tried it?
No, I don’t want foam out of this keg. I have an IKPro2 Foamer for that.
Did you have to change your gasket and o rings that came with the keg? How much PSI were you able to put in it after using it for a while?
I didn’t change any of that. U can read what they do on the site u order it from.
I put 80psi in my keg
Wow, they are a great. hmmmm
U don’t know until you get one.
any idea on an alternative for the Teejet adjustable cone tip?
No sorry, but I see other set ups around
@@DetailingBreakdown is the detail keg still performing well? I have everything ordered - i already have 4 kegs - but i got a different nozzle because the one you listed won't deliver to me in Canada.
@@seabrew1 the keg is bad to the bone. For under $200 it’s amazing! I should clean the sides and wrap it or something, but then it would be like everyone else’s…lol
@@DetailingBreakdown lol, yeah i won't be bothering with that.
Did you say it has a pressure relief valve? If not I suppose you could add one
80psi valve
You pull up on the ring on the head of the valve to manually release the pressure if you need to open it.
The final part - TeeJet 38720-PPB-X8 TriggerJet Adjustable Spray Tip is currently not available from Amazon. Any ideas for an alternate tip? Thanks!
I’m sorry for that, if u put the trigger in Amazon they will give u options. Here is a straight tip that should work.
a.co/d/aWNv0xg
Any tee jet tip you want to use would work. Cone or fan tip.
@@wesoakes guys, Wesley is the man that showed me how to build it. Listen to what he says.
Cornelius kegs are designed for a maximum of 60 psi, shouldn't pressurize anymore than that.
I go about 78 and love it. Thanks for watching!!
