Tip #4 – Pressure Washer with Adjustable Working Pressure
A car washer machine with an adjustable pressure setting comes in handy to clean every part of your car. A slightly less powerful setting is recommended for the more fragile parts of the car including the windows, lights and mirrors. On the other hand, a more powerful water pressure setting is suitable for spray cleaning stubborn dirt that is adhering to car tyres, such as mud, animal faeces and more.
It is recommended to use medium pressure for car washing.

Tip #5 - Good to start Pressure Washing Your Car 4 to 5 Feet Away

Tip # 6 - Use Attachable Car Brush to Clean Stubborn Stains
For stubborn stains that do not come off with the initial wash, you can use an attachable car brush to scrub it clean. Detergent can be applied via the pressure washer if required.
Tip #7 – Use the Right Car Washing nozzle attachment
You should also be careful to not use turbo dirt blaster nozzle because this kind of nozzle might remove paintwork on the car.
Tip #8 - Avoid Using Strong Spray Setting on Areas with Chipped Paint
As an extension from tip #7, you should also avoid using strong water pressure settings on surface areas with chipped paint in order to avoid making it worse than it already is by scraping off more paint from the chipped part.
Tip #9 - Pressure Wash Your Car on A Good Spot
You should also be mindful of where you choose to use your high-pressure car washer machine. You would want to make sure that you have ample space to move around together with the car washer machine around your car. You also want to make sure that you choose a flat ground surface with not many stones, tree branches or other sharp objects lying around so that the pressure washer won’t scratch the car by accidentally hitting on stones from the floor.
Tip # 10 - What MBAR is safe for washing cars?
Know the suitable water pressure level to do the cleaning effectively without posing any threats to your car that requires more effort to recover. As a rule of thumb, 100mbar to 110mbar is suitable for light duties, small household cleaning jobs and car cleaning. On the other hand, 145mbar is required for heavy-duty household applications, decks and pavements and also tough stains on frequently used household surfaces.
