HOW TO PRESSURE WASH A CAR

Pressure washing a car can be an easy and cost effective way to help your paint stay shiny and maintain a flawless glow year round. Although it seems straight-forward, choosing the wrong pressure washer and nozzle settings can lead to damaged paint and cracked windows. Below are some tips and tricks to follow to keep your car looking great quickly and safely. DID YOU KNOW? There are certain formulas designed for rust removal, so utilizing such power washing chemicals can help you remove unsightly rust from your vehicle. BASICS: Your power washer should be at least 2200 PSI to ensure there is enough pressure while cleaning. You can use an additional brush if you already posses a power washer with a lower PSI setting. RINSE BEFORE THE SUDS: Many trucks and winter vehicles track heavy grime, so if your vehicle is very dirty, be sure to power wash any excess dirt prior to adding any soaps. This allows less grime to set in by removing it prior. DID YOU KNOW? A car responds to soaps much better when it is at a colder temperature? SOAPS AND DETERGENTS: You can add soap into the power washer and spray it over the vehicle for even coverage. Make sure to sweep it over the car in a downward motion so the grime tracks downward. RINSE: To rinse your car, again, use a downward motion starting from the hood to the tires, is the best way to ensure all detergent and grime is removed. In four easy steps, you have a polished, shiny, and glossy car without the cost of touchless car wash services. Money spent on a power washer now can save you money on car washes later!
