1800psi is weak....waste of money to buy a pressure washer unless it's atleast 2,500psi. Washing your car with a pressure washer is a little bit overdoing it no? Why not just use a garden hose and wash the car the right way?

Incredible comment but for $99 what should you get? Also an electric one is less hassle than a 2500 psi that has to be gas. And no it's not overdoing it becuase in 3 years no problems, 2500psi is overdoing its not a side walk or a roof it's you car geeeez!

Also since the first time I bought it I refuse to wash my car without it but thats just me...

KArcher FTW. I just bought one for all purpose use, and i love it. Got it at costco for $400 something bucks. I love the dual detergent tanks too (that could be used for car washing)

Seriously, pressure washing is a bad idea, mmkayy?
Soap is really not needed to wash a car either. It reduces the effectiveness of the car's finish, given by the previous polish.
If you guys don't believe me, go check out some detailers forums, and see if anyone uses pressure washers. I'm sure there are hardly anyone that will admit it if they do.
