Question Pressure washer!

Hi, I’m about to get a Honda pressure washer as a gift that has 2000 PSI.
Does anyone think it’s too strong of a pressure washer to use on cars?
Looking for your earlier reply…

Yeah! It would be good for you. 2000 PSI is not bad, it should be worked fine.
You may also check out http://www.best-pressure-washer-reviews.com/, it has excellent reviews about best pressure washers selected on their characteristics.

If you love your washer, put a small "in-line" filter in the water supply hose. It's the same filter you use for a washing machine. Otherwise the pump will loose pressure quickly as the piston and valve seat wear out.

Yes it absolutely is. If you manage not to damage paint, you are likely to force water into electrical parts and cause even more expensive problems.

I have alway shy'd away from the use of pressure washers on automobiles.

I would only use it on the wheels and wheel arches, never on the paint, I also use mine to clear the radiator of bugs and crap after long road trips.
