Washing a car with a pressure washer
Rinse top-down to knock off loose dirt, apply foam or shampoo, wash by hand with a microfiber mitt, then rinse again. Keep the nozzle moving and at a sensible distance, and use a fan pattern on paint. Rinse wheel arches and underbody with more pressure. A pH-neutral car wash shampoo protects any wax or coating underneath.
How much pressure do I need to wash a car?
Less than you might think. Any of the home machines here is plenty for a car; what matters more for paint is the nozzle pattern and distance.
Can I use a pressure washer with a foam lance?
Yes. Most of these machines accept a foam lance or detergent bottle; use a car shampoo diluted for foam, never washing powder or dish soap.
