Yet another pressure washer question

[Dewy]

Okay, I have a 6.75hp pw. I can't believe you can use this on your car. But hey, if you guys say its okay, I'll do it. So what do you say?

Well, all that is needed is about 1100/1200psi. I`m sure your pw. is way above that so unless you can reduce the psi it may be dangerous for your paint. If you have to use it get farther away and never let the direction of the spray get to 90 degrees always use at a angle to the car.

It seems that power washers are very popular on this site. What kind or size do you all use?

how much pressure does that put out?

The Troy-bilt 6.75 has 2550 lbs I believe.

I have a gas powered Sears pressure washer and it has different nozzles for different applications so you may be able to use it with the proper nozzle. Check you owners manual to be sure.
