Re: Bought this from Costco!
I have a very strong gas powered pressure washer. Honda motor. over 3000... cant recall exactly. Ryobi from HD I think. I don't put it close to the paint at all. Mainly for the wheel wells and to rinse the dirt off prior to the foam cannon experience... i did find this link... i hope it's okay to post it... it was from a quick Google search...
peace

Bought this from Costco!
Got it today! Spent about 15 minutes putting it together and another 15 trying to figure out why it had no pressure! I felt stupid when I put the tip on and it worked like a charm! Tomorrow it will be put to good use by doing my wifes little red sports car!

Yes, it is amazing how little water come out of the wand without a tip on

Nice find!!
I'd throw away that red nozzle. You'll never use it for anything, especially washing cars.
A 40 degree nozzle with 3.0 and or 3.5 orifice would be perfect for that machine. Either would help knock down the pressure a little bit so you wont have to worry about anything.

I don’t think it’s well above 2000, I think the difference you feel/perceive is a higher flow rate compared to the average stand alone pressure washer.

This discussion is precisely why I went with a SunJoe SPX3000 (rated 2030 psi) for doing vehicles. More than enough power to clean....not so much power that i have to worry

I’m not worried about the pressure. 9 times out 10 it will have a foam cannon on it!

Don't skip the pressure rinse step. A pressure rinse will remove far more dirt and grime than a foam bath ever can. If you combine both you can expect to remove as much dirt as it is possible without touching the paint. But if you only do a foam bath and then rinse off with a hose, it will be far less effective than pressure rinsing without using any soap.
