Low cost pressure washer to stop moss ingress

T Blake · 2014-05-25T18:54:21+00:00

Looking to buy a pressure washer at the cheaper end of the market. Its use would be to periodically clean around the crack and crevices of our car that doesn't see a lot of use these days. I can only think the green moss like growth growing in the cracks is doing no good at all. It seems the market leader (ie most common )is Karcher, and Currys do a Karcher K2 compact model at 79, pressure is 110 bar. Would this be as good as any to get, or would anyone recommend something else? Thanks.

The only thing that can damage sound paint is over application/poor rinsing of strongly alkaline detergent.

Indeed.

Is that how shotblasting works? I always wondered.

The pressure washers they use operate at pressures several orders of magnitude lower than the more powerful Karchers. They would not use the higher nozzle setting either.

The de-laminated number plate I mentioned was done to my current car by a Polish car wash...

How do you define properly?

Car manufacturers operate within certain cost versus quality constraints, but other than that how would the quality vary?

Or you might be wrong. I know which one my money is on...
