I agree if we're talking carsmy son and I used to routinely use the
pressure washer on his '83 Jeep CJ-7 after a day of muddin...but then
again it had a rattle can paint job
In my experience, pressure washers work just fine on cars. That said, the
half-brained person just needs to realize that the higher pressure your
washer, the finer the point and the closer you get the more likely you are
to clean more than you wanted.
Personally, I've used them many times over

Others have made similar comments. However, what do you think is used to
get cars cleaned in touchless car washes? All of the equipment in

I thought it was the American way to use a pressure washer on anything
you can't clean with a leafblower.

Actually, drying a car with a leafblower does not sound like a bad

Pressure washers used to be a high-ticket item, so they weren't that common.
Now they can be had for no more money than the tab for a pretty good
Saturday night's partying. I've got a couple, actually (pressure washers,
not bar tabs). Clean freaks beware! Car and tire manufacturers recommend

Understand that in Florida a pressure washer is pretty
much a standard yard implement, like a rake or shovel.
With the crap that gets on your walls, sidewalk and
screened enclosure over your pool (pool cage) you
pretty much have to have a pressure washer to get
things clean.
That being said, I

Yeah, we do, but the ones I've seen don't compare with
a pressure washer.
