Presentation of the product
Whether you collect cars or use them daily, regular washing is necessary. Dirt and dust can settle on the skin of the car at any time and damage the paint. Therefore, regular cleaning not only keeps your car clean but also helps maintain its value.
However, you may find it a hassle or inconvenience to wash your car regularly, usually because of the price of time it would take on your busy schedule. This is where pressure washers come in. This versatile tool gets the car wash job done in no time. In addition, you can use it to clean and restore different surfaces, such as concrete floors, exterior brick or industrial vehicles.
With pressure washers, also known as power washers, you don’t need to use abrasive cleaning agents. Its cleaning power comes from a motorized pump that produces water at high pressure through a nozzle. The force of water helps break up tough stains like grease, residue, wax or rust.
Here are some key terms you should know before buying a pressure washer:
GPM: gallon per minute
PSI: pound per square inch
CU: cleaning units (or cleaning speed)
Before selecting the pressure washer you need for your car, always check its GPM, PSI and CU ratings. Most importantly, it is necessary to choose the right PSI value of the pressure washer, as a higher PSI value would mean more force on the surface you are cleaning, thus damaging the surface.
Here are the pressure washer ratings you should consider:
Light service: 0-1999 psi
Average service: 2000-2799 psi
Heavy Duty: 2800-3299 psi
Industrial obligation: 3300 psi and above.
Where can I use the pressure washer (applicable scenarios)
Pressure washers are versatile machines, so apart from using them for car washing, there are other surfaces to clean with the pressure washer. Some of these surfaces include:
road
A clean driveway gives your home a clean look. However, with a pressure washer, cleaning the driveway becomes an easy and simple task. Be sure to use turbo nozzles instead of a standard spray tip.
Exterior walls of your house
There are several types of exterior walls, but regardless of the variety, you can use a pressure washer to remove dirt and grime from the exterior walls of your home. More often than not, walls may require cleaning out of necessity rather than aesthetics. However, be sure to present the correct procedure for cleaning the exterior wall.
covered
Cleaning the cover by hand can give you back pain. But if you use a pressure washer, it will be a breeze, you might even enjoy it. However, be sure to use the proper pressure, as higher pressure could strip the paint. To clean your deck properly, you’ll need to move constantly and avoid holding the hose in one direction for too long.
Stripped Painting
If you are tired of removing paint with a scraper tool, you should try using a pressure washer. The pressure washer not only saves time, but also allows you to control how it strips and clean the surface evenly, even in hard-to-reach places like between deck boards. However, if the paint is lead-based, avoid using a pressure washer on the surface as it is hazardous to your health.
Close
Whether you have a vinyl, wood, concrete, or chain link fence, you can use a pressure washer to remove build-up, dirt, or rust from your fence. However, when you are pressure washing a wooden fence, use a soft nozzle to avoid stripping the paint. You will also need to repaint the surface of the fence to prevent it from rotting.
Barbecue Grill
If you’re a cooking enthusiast or love to grill burgers and barbeques in your backyard in the summer, you’ll undoubtedly have crusty stains on your grill plates that will be difficult to remove. However, this won’t be a problem if you use a pressure washer. Be sure to unplug electrical components before you begin cleaning.
However, that doesn’t mean you can use a pressure washer to wash everything. Some of the things you shouldn’t use a pressure washer for include:
- Electrical panels
- Air conditioners
- Animals or people
- Windows
- Plants and gardens
Product characteristics
Pressure washers work as garden hoses as well as air compressors. A typical pressure washer often comes with a gas engine or an electric motor that powers its water pump. The pump accelerates the flow of water from the garden house, producing high pressure.
The washer is also connected to a high pressure hose and at the end of it is a water pressure gun. When you pull the trigger on the water gun, air mixes with the water and comes out of the nozzle.

To use your pressure washer to wash your car, you must follow a set of guidelines. Although not necessary, it would give you the best result. These steps include:

Before washing the car, park it in an open area, away from other fragile objects. This is important to avoid any accidents. Make sure the electric car pressure washer is close enough to your car.
Rinse the car
Before you start washing your car, give it a light wipe to get rid of any lingering residue. Turn on the machine and use the pressure washer to give your car a light spray while you are a few feet away from the vehicle. Then slowly approach the car after you are sure that the water pressure is suitable for car washing.
Apply detergent to the surface of the car
Dilute the detergent in water and pour it into the water gun attached to the end of the pressure washer hose. Be sure to use a mild detergent suitable for car washes and pressure washers.
Rinse off the detergent
Using the 40° hose nozzle, rinse the detergent from the surface of the car. Be sure to hold the pressure washer at 40° to 45° to rinse from the top of the car to the bottom.
