    Quick one, can the Jetterix rinse soap off a car okay or does it leave streaks? I usually just use a bucket and hose but the nozzle I have now is pretty weak. Curious if this one pushes enough water to make rinsing faster without dragging out the pressure washer.

    Mine knocks the suds off fine, though I still go over the glass with a squeegee after. The driveway setting is too much for paint so I keep it on the wider spray. Cuts my rinse time down a fair bit compared to standing there with the old nozzle.

    Does it actually speed things up enough to skip the bucket routine? That’s my main hangup, since a weak hose nozzle is exactly what I’m trying to get away from. I’ve seen mixed comments on whether it saves time or just adds another step.

    I wouldn’t count on it to rinse a whole car quickly. Mine does fine on the lower setting but I still go back over the panels with the hose because it doesn’t flush suds off as fast as I’d like.

    A stronger nozzle still won’t rinse a soapy car like a pressure washer, so I wouldn’t buy it expecting that. It knocks off the loose suds, but you’re still chasing the film around with the hose.

    I don’t think it’ll leave streaks as long as you keep moving and don’t let the soap dry on there. The main thing is it’s still just a hose nozzle, so don’t expect it to blast suds off like a pressure washer. Mine helps enough that I stopped dragging the bucket out every time.

    It gets the soap off fine, just not in that blasting pressure washer way. If your hose pressure is decent, it’s a solid step up from a weak nozzle. I still keep a towel handy for the glass, but the paint dries clean.

    Mine actually left faint spots on the hood until I started drying it right after.

    Mine still leaves little beads if I don’t towel dry after.

    Mine gets the soap off without any hassle, no streaks on the paint so far. It’s not a pressure washer blast but it’s quicker than my old nozzle was.

    Mine didn’t leave streaks, but it’s no faster than my hose honestly.

    Mine works fine for rinsing, but I noticed it uses a lot more water than my old nozzle because of the tighter spray. Something to keep in mind if you’re on a meter.

    I’d still keep a towel handy either way.

    Streaks are not really the issue on a soapy car. The bigger problem I ran into was the narrower stream blasting water past the panels and soaking everything around it. It rinsed fine, but I still had to go back over spots by hand.

    I use mine mainly on the wheels and lower panels where the soap really hangs on, and it knocks that stuff off way quicker than my old spray head. For the main body I still go over it with the hose first, then finish with the Jetterix. No streaks so far on my car.

    The soaking everything complaint is a bit overblown. Mine throws water past the car if I aim it wrong, sure, but that’s just how you hold it. Rinsing soap off is the one job it’s actually decent at, streaks haven’t been an issue for me.

    Used mine on my truck last weekend and it rinsed the soap off fine, no streaks left behind. It does make the job quicker than my old spray nozzle, that part I can confirm. Still need to go over it with a towel after though, same as always.

    I tried using one of these nozzle things on my mum’s little hatchback a couple months ago because my hose pressure at home is pretty sad and I figured it had to be better than the dribble I was getting. Rinsing the roof and windows went okay but the suds kept clinging around the wheel arches and behind the bumpers, so I ended up going over those bits again with the bucket anyway. It wasn’t streaks that got me, it was just that the water didn’t seem to carry the soap off as smoothly as I hoped in the tighter spots. The straightforward panels were fine though and I did get done quicker than my usual slow bucket routine. I still keep a microfiber nearby for the odd patch that needs a wipe, which is just normal for me. I don’t think it’s magic but it definitely beats standing there with a weak spray.

    Rinsing soap off is the easy part. What actually matters is how much water your tap puts out in the first place. I have decent pressure at home and a focused nozzle like this moves a lot of water fast, but at my parents’ place with weak flow it turns into a sad little stream and takes ages. So the nozzle can only work with what it gets. If your current nozzle is the weak link, this might help. If your whole house has low flow, it won’t magically fix that. Also worth checking that the connection actually seals properly, mine drips if I don’t tighten it enough and that gets annoying quick.

    Fair enough, I’ll just give it a go and see.
