Pressure washer to clean car?

[marshal12]

---

I just got a 1400psi washer and saw on TV last night a guy cleaning his car with it.
I can put on a detergent bottle and spray first at low pressure, then put on the head unit and vary the spray from wide to narrow. Seems great on wheels.
Anybody using one?

yes tinuod na bro nga ang pressure washer makapaksit jud ug pintal especially if naa na gamayng crack magkadako jud. mao nang dili jud ko magpa carwash ako ra limpyo sa akong car with a water hose using a normal nozzle. pero basin kanang low pressure hinay ra jud kaayo na pwede ra siguro.

Yeah! The pressure washer is awesome on wheels. Here are some cautions while using pressure washer:
1. Always keep the nozzle at least 6 inches away from the paint. Don't be tempted to get closer to remove a little spot. If you spray directly into an existing chip and you're too close, it can actually chip the paint. 1400psi is not likely going to cause any problem, though.
2. Never use a straight stream (if the pressure washer supports it). Same reason as above, Keep the stream in a "fan" of about 30 degrees.
3. Don't towel dry after washing with only a pressure washer. Even if you use soap, some dirt will remain and you'll end up with dirty towels and swirl marks.
