    2400 psi is not too strong to wash cars.

    I've been using this little guy for a couple years..https://www.ryobitools.com/outdoor/p...ressure-washer

    No issues at all with it, used almost daily

    2400 psi can get you into trouble if not really careful, but it can do a great job too.

    Used almost every day for 1 year and never had any problem. $269. Starts easily even in the cold. Easy to move around. Makes great foam with cannon. Gas powered. I would like to get an electric also for quiet times.

    If you are getting a gasoline powered unit, Honda engines with CAT pumps are good units.

    Might as well use a garden hose.

    I had the older model for about 2 years and worked great. Ended up selling it and now regret it.
