Just read the thread on road salt and again I an thinking of investing in a pressure washer. Hhowever an ex-colleague - who previously used to run his own under the arches type garage - swears that they are not good for your car, strip too much wax, paint and sealant off and blast water where it shouldn't go.
What does the team think?

Marko, this topic was aired two days ago, and several times in the past - the search facility should help

I have one and find it good only for cleaning flag stones etc and it take hours to do them. the one i got won a What car test, i covered the car in the cleaner provided and cleaned off , the result only excess mud was cleaned off, i still ended up sponging off.
Given the prating about required to set it up, it will only again be used for cleaning concrete

Mark,
You will find a fair amount on this with search. However here is my comment from the last thread on them....
>Fine as long as you have a sympathy for the parts you are washing. The >spray on most can be varied to a soft fan that wouldn't take the skin from a >rice pudding.
>Keep a powerful spray well away from anything electrical, or and paper >labels you ever want to read again.
>If you are sensible they are fine.
I never even thought for trying them on the paintwork, they'll be no good at that.

These are great for getting muck and salt out from under wheelarches and so forth, but can be a bit fierce on paintwork, so I would only reccomend using one after the winter to get rid of all that salty crud that builds up, but you still need the bucket & sponge to get the bodywork clean properly.
My father has taken a lot of paint off his (old) vehicles with one of these.......

Do anyone have preference for a sponge or one of those brush heads that water travels through. It seems that the brush gets in more awkward corners but does anybody think it scratches the paintwork more than a sponge.
