To make washing your car easier you can use high-pressure water sprayed to remove dirt, dust and other materials from the surface of a vehicle.

These devices are named power pressure washers and are electric devices used to clean better and faster cars and even other kinds of surfaces.

Between power washing and pressure washing, it is only one difference and that is the temperature of the water.

In power washing, the jet wash is heated and the water used in pressure washing it is not heated.

Pressure washing is used on surfaces that are sensible at heat using cold or normal water, any temperature but power washers use only high pressure steams or hot water.

So if you choose to try pressure washing your car you should know a few things first.

Things to know

Cleaning a car with a pressure washing device is an easy and fast way to keep a clean and sparkly car so you should know how to choose the appropriate pressure washer.

Important when choosing the pressure washer is to determine the appropriate power (PSI) and wash flow (GPM) needed.

Higher power means more pressure /force of the water when it leaves the nozzle, higher GPM means more water is released, the combination of these two PSI x GPM is measured in cleaning units.

To properly wash a car you need a device with at least 1900 to 2800 cleaning units.

These devices are really efficient and more economical in using water than hoses.

Proper pressure is important when choosing a pressure washer to not damage the paint on a car so the proper pressure would be around 1200-1900 PSI and with 1.4-1.6 GPM.

Different nozzle types and sizes are available to make sure that the pressure is distributed evenly.

Narrow nozzles will cover with a high pressure less surface and wider nozzles will cover a larger area but with lower pressure.

Because not all electric pressure washer can be used with extension cords is important to be close enough to an electric outlet.

Usually, for car washing, we can use 25 degrees (green) and 40 degrees (white ) tips/ nozzles.

Before using any cleaner or car shampoo on the car you must rinse the car and spray off any debris, mud with a powerful water jet from 4-5 feet away starting from top to bottom spraying the water downward.

The tires and wheels can be washed closely with a strong water jet to remove any stubborn grime and dirt left under the hubcaps.

After thoroughly rinsing the car first, you can start applying a car cleaner detergent or shampoo by using the special compartment for detergents in the pressure washer.

These kinds of car shampoos or car detergents and cleaners come as concentrated solutions and need to be diluted in water first before using them.

The pressure washer has these detergent tanks for the cleaning solutions but some might not have so you must spread the car shampoo with a microfiber cloth or a car sponge on the car.

After spraying the detergent and allow it to activate you can rinse it off using a 40-degree tip at a 45-degree angle to rinse from top to bottom.

After the rinsing, it is important to wipe the car with a microfiber towel to remove any residue of water remained to avoid water spots.

Pressure washing is one of the easiest, efficient, effortless and fun ways to wash your car.

With a small investment, you can keep your car clean regularly with no effort in the most efficient and time-saving way.
