Safe? Not using a power washer on your paint [Freak]

Me, I use a brush that hooks up to the hose . The continuous wash of water washes away dirt as I brush. I use the soap from my Mr. Clean car wash system. I then rinse the truck down and use the spot free wash for the final rinse. Works really well...

1500-1750 psi will be fine, I have been using one for the last 25 years and have not had a problem. Just take it easy with the distance you keep the tip from the surface.

I got a good deal from Amazon on this:



It was $80, free shipping & came with a free extention hose. The same setup is $127 now, but still has free shipping.

Watch your Sunday ads, I've seen them an sale at checker & Pep Boys too.

1300 psi is good from cleaning & won't do any damage. I wouldn't go any higher that 1700 or so.

You can drill holes in concrete with a power washer, but if you are carefull, and pay attention, there is nothing better. laugh
