    What are your thoughts on pressure washers?
    Just recently purchased as "personal size" 1600 psi washer at Sam`s Club for $64 :thumbup: :thumbup:

    Plan to do wheels, wells, engine (carefully), undercarriage, bugs and removable carpets.

    Tried it on the carpets yesterday:

    1600 PSI......Wheels(especially the barrels), wheel wells, tires, engine. Rinsing the paint as well, just hold the wand at a good distance.

    Cool ♥My Power Washer♥

    Hello Guys/
    Well being I live in New York [Snow & Salt/:cursing:/] I have a large3800/PSI Gas Power Cold Water Washer.Hopefully,before the Snow flies this coming Winter...We`ll be down South,prolly Florida. I used a Hot Water one at my Bus Garage job many years ago,for 13 years.It cleaned the Engines/Trans/Rear w/Zep Degreaser unbelieveably...They had to be for D.O.T. Inspections.
    After doin` that for many years,I got good at my job,so I figured it was time to get my own.It was costing too much $$$ at the Car Wash,plus they don`t have that 45 Degree Angle Pipe Fitting like I bought for mine at the wand end.I have a Quik Connect at the wand end to change different Degree Spray Patterns.I like the *25* Degree the most.The 40 Degree is good also.The Angle Pipe is good for the Undercarriages,as it gets into more areas than a Straight Wand can`t do.I spend a good,30 minutes or so on the undercarriage and the Engine/:clap:.Bad Habit...Maybe,but I know it`s clean,lol.
    I get those *Gaps* between the Doors & Fenders/Doors and Rocker Pannels/Etc.
    My only regret is I have a Pull Start.It does start easily,but I`m always afraid of hurting my back when I yank that rope start.
    I have to invest in the Electric Start Kit and a Battery for a Honda engine.
    Anyways,I love my Power Washer,and feel it was a good investment for me.
    Regards/
    Raymond

    I`ve been using them on cars for over 20 years now and never seen any negative effects from it. It makes cleaning so much easier, especially when the car is very dirty. :thumbup:

    I use my pressure washer to peel flaking paint at the stable and cleaning out my horses` stalls. On my car? Not a chance.

    I like using my pressure washer on my rims and tires. After spraying wheel cleaner, the pressure washer blows just about all of the brake dust and other contaminants away. I also use it on my wife`s DD whenever there`s loads of bug on the front end.

    Big difference between using a 3000+ psi gas pressure washer with a 5 degree tip on it and an electric unit putting out 1000-1500psi with a wide pattern tip.

    Nope.....1800 electric. Just not a tool designed for automobile use in my opinion. Each to their own.
