Do Power washers ruin the paintwork on your car?
Scottymon:
I do think PW's have the ability over time to help lift lacquer from slightly damaged areas, perhaps adding to the whiteworm effect of the rear badge and wheel centres wheels, ESP. For those who go too close with the lance. Maintain a sensible distance and it'll be fine.

Not using a pressure washer and just an open ended hose may cause the car to burst into flames. :jumpmove:

This is correct, I have heard countless stories of how innocent people innocently cleaning their car on a Sunday morning, have opted to use their open end hose to cut corners and save a few squid, have been victims of spontaneous combustion of their mad rides! It effects millions of people a year and must be stopped!

It's common sense.theres some car wash places around near me were the power washers are that powerful they rock the the car almost

I once took my first car/pride and joy to an 'autoshine express' car wash place and the pressure washer they used lifted the lacquer off my bonnet and front bumper in places. Rediculously powerful. Most domestic power washers won't cause this sort of damage, unless you use the dirtblaster lance :scared:
