    Default Pressure Washers?

    After washing my car (again) i'm convinced that a good pressure washer will be more economical in the long run to clean the car (also house, deck, walkway, etc). Any good recommendations for washers?

    cheers

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    PW's are great, I have a small electric model that's easy to lug around and fits easily in the trunk of a car. "Only" 1500PSI, but still enough power to clean pretty much anything short of scouring concrete.

    Unless, you get a High pressure, gas powered one....it really doesnt work for car washing like the one's at the bays. I had hand wash most of the time anyways so the Pressure washer is great for the house, deck, windows, cobb webs etc.

    Is this some secret code or something?

    That's what I was worried about, I don't think that gas powered washer is in the cards quite yet...

    Electric just won't cut it for what you want. I have used many electric models and they are pretty shitty for washing cars. Save up for a gas powered one.

    Just so you know, it's fucking LOUD!!! They are sweet though. At work we pressure wash, soap, pressure wash then just let it dry and it dries without water spots and is always nice and clean. It doesn't get mosquito blood off though (on the front from the highway). It's cool for cleaning wheels/tires too.

    Oh and 90% of the time it won't splash back on you, but be careful for corners and things (around the mirrors, bumpers and stuff)
