Discussion on how to keep your car shining bright and make them heads turn..
I think a pressure washer with a foam Cannon attachment works great at loosening dirt.I would never use brushes on my car's painted surface.(Brushes= scratches) Starting at the roof .Use a clean wash mitt to wash your car with.(I like to pre-soak my mitt to soften up the fibres in some warm water)
Making sure to rinse the mitt after every panel you wash.After washing the panel,I like to use a claybar to remove anything stuck to the painted surface. This will give you a smooth clean surface for waxing etc.
Then rinse,and repeat on your next panel.
Depending on your paints condition.You may consider applying opti coat or CQuartz coating on your painted surface.Which would make your job easier to wash your car with less effort.
just wondering if you got the pressure washer yet. i have a karcher that i bought at costco and it's broken on me for the 3rd time and i need to find something else
911fanatic (ken) recommended one that has the 2.0GPM that he says is essential but it's almost $1k usd

I also purchased a electric (Simoniz 1700) pressure washer from Canadian tire.It lasted about 2-3 years before the plastic parts inside the handle cracked,and started leaking.Already checked with CT ,and they no longer the wand replacement for that model,but there was a different wand I could use.Bottom line by the time I replace wand attachments ..... I would've spent over 90 dollars.Over half the price I bought it for.Anyone interested in buying half a pressure washer off me?
If your purely just using it to wash your car with a Gilmore gun.
I was considering the Ryobi 3100 psi but for $499 cdn. The pump unit from what I've read is almost 50/50 in my books.Complains about warranty stuck out like a sore thumb.
Skip the Ryobi and the electric pressure washers - money down the drain. I have one similar to that Home Depot link and it has been a great unit for the last three years. It gets used a lot and it fires every time and though mine is only rated at 2600psi, it is more than enough - especially for a car.
