Pressure Washers

Looking to get a pressure washer to wash the cars, found one that puts out 1700 PSI for cheap, Think thats sufficient enough?

I want something that will do well on cleaning the car, but not wreck the paint.

Inputs? thanks.

fiddy,
You won't need a pressure washer to wash a car. You can use one but just use the wide spray instead of the pointed spray. A garden hose is enough really.

Well im not buying the pressure washer specifically for car, Im buying to do some stuff around the house too. I have an exposed aggregate drive way that needs to be washed at least once a year. Figured since im going that route, I should consider one useful for my cars as well.

Power washers are great for washing the car. It's good to have one for washing porch and sidewalk as well. But you have to remember to preper you car well before you wash it with a power washer like covering the locks.

Pressure washers are great for the wheel well areas on cars, they really get all of the small grain stones out of your shock towers and leave it looking brand new.
