When washing your car, you’ll want to use a low-pressure washer. This way, you can avoid any damage to your car, vehicle paint, and tyres. You should use a pressure of 1000psi to 2500psi (100-160 bar) for washing your car.
If you normally use power washer accessories that increase the pressure of the water jet, you’ll want to remove these for your car. Ensuring the right pressure is essential for cleaning your car safely. The wrong power washer accessories could be a problem for your paint and tyres.
However, for a deep clean, you’ll also need to make sure a high-quality detergent is given time to do its job. Look for a detergent specifically designed for cars. Make sure it has plenty of time to attack dirt by applying before and washing after. However, you can skip this step if you’re using a foam cannon.
You can also use both electric and petrol power washers for your car. This should not affect your vehicle.
