There are many things that can be cleaned using a pressure washer. They easily wash away dirt and grime on driveways, pathways, decks, and siding, but what about washing your car? Using a pressure washer to wash cars can actually make the process significantly easier, but it can also pose some potential risks if you don’t know how to do it correctly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That’s why we compiled this article to help teach you how to wash a car with a pressure washer<\/a> the right way. We also discuss some pro tips for pressure washers to help make car cleaning as easy as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pressure washers<\/a> can be used to clean a car, but only if you use the right settings, the right spray tips, and the right detergent. If you don’t, you run the risk of chipping your car’s paint. Considering how pressure washers are often used to remove graffiti, this should be no surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, scratches could develop if the initial dirt and grit on your car are ground into the paint instead of washed away. Lastly, pressure washing can make preexisting chips in the paintwork worse. If you have an older car with flaky paint, you may want to avoid pressure washing your car.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n While a gas pressure washer can be used, an electric pressure washer is best for this type of job because they are not as powerful and therefore run a lower risk of damaging your car’s paint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Thank you to my AWESOME DH team for my Ryobi pressure washer !!
