Pressure Washing

[jch216]

Will a pressure washer remove all the dirt on a dirty car or do you still need to scrub?

[Brainchild]

It depends on how clean you want the car, IMO.To get all the junk off I would hand wash it, but I'm too lazy so off to the carwash I go

Pressure washers don't do anything like a good enough job IMO (even the professional ones with steam and detergent).
They are great for getting the crud out from the wheel arches, and the really thick stuff off the bodywork, but you'll need to get the elbow grease out too.

BE careful---you can peel the paint right off it with 3000 psi of pressure...

Thanks guys.

Remove the paint takes much pressure, but even with low pressure, you could peel off striping if you have any.

I concure with Graham, the only way is to get out the elbow grease.

Got a local car wash? Those things rock! Those soft spongy things get the stuff off no problem! They don't miss a spot.
