It's going in a single bay Petit, & should be a 50 --70cpd site. I would not be shocked if it got up around 80+ & had to add a 2nd Petit.
Would this be plenty for 2 Petits? Or just 1, or is there a better choice for the money?

Only compressor I will ever own!
Makes the work room so much nicer to work in!!

That is the same company (Eaton Compressor) as the one in Sooner's post and made here in Clayton. I don't know if they are the best but they are pretty quiet and appear very well built. We are planning on buying one soon.

I seem to remember that 2 stage compressors are much quieter than single stage? Could be mis-remembering. Typically 2 stage are used to obtain higher pressures, which we don't need for car washes, but I believe they are quieter. Might be worth checking into

The above compressors are both two stage.
