I am sure yu could ghetto rig it somehow but I have not personally done it :D

anyone?

Brandon dude, I don't think anyone has attempted to do this here on Beyond... looks like you're the "pioneer". Give it a try, but damn, be careful... don't want to strip off you're paint. lol

You can buy a nozzle for an air compressor that also has a connector for a water hose. I don't know where you can buy them though.

probably just at Canadian tire would be my best guess

nah they probably woudln't have it.....that would reduce their sale of pressure washers then wouldn't it?:D

try some kind of fitting store or something dedicated to air compressors/fittings/plumbing (house of tools? princess auto? and other "fitting dedicated" stores..)

If nobody has one......then make one ghetto styles or something :D

I got a shitty one from Canadian tire. It doesn't work all that great, but its better than a conventional hose washing.

Problem is your compressor probably does not put out anywhere near the same PSI as a pure pressure washing unit. Higher then a hose but much lower then a pressure washer.
