Car Washing?

I would advise against a pressure washer. It can take the paint off quickly if you get too close. It happened on some hub caps of mine from my first car lol.

What I do is a normal quick wash, followed by a clay bar pass, and finish with wax. Granted I only wash every 6 months, this works good for me. I don't get any water spots. Clay barring a full size truck sucks lol

6 Months?!?!?!?! Must be nice.

Black car + dessert = washing every week or two.

Guess I can't complain.... White car and lots of rain = the same thing. Poor Bill lol

Well I started the day with a Husky 1600 PSI Electric power washer. Reviews were pretty poor, but Home depot gave me a 20% discount on an open box. So I figured I would give it a chance.

Put it together, turned on the switch.....

Pump was froze up.

P.O.S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So I took it back, asked for my money, and headed over to Lowes.

Figured I'm going gas, might as well got a good one.

So far I love it.

Oh and Bill, I got one of thses at walmart, and it seems to be doing the trick. Flow is fast enough it doesn't affect the output, and I didn't have any problems with water spots.
