    I don't know if that's possible but the PSI and GPM would almost certainly stay the same.

    I'm not sure if you are thinking on using this on a car ... but if you are, it's not a good idea. More power is not always better , especially with a PW and a car. You could literally spray the paint off of the car, damage moldings, ruin seals/bearings, and get water in places it shouldn't be...

    Don't mean to put a damper on the idea but will not work as the last machine in line will limit the output . Good idea though . As mentioned earlier a pressure washer on a car can end in disaster , with paint removal . I have on older cars with bad paint used a pressure washer to help remove old paint prior to painting .

    Won't work.

    A PW will damage a car if you are not careful. I have been using one DAILY on client's cars. If my pressure washer was taken away, I would quit detailing. Sure beats a waterless wash......
    Strictly my opinion though....

    you really shouldn't need something too powerful. I would say your 1600 PSI is about good enough. Shouldn't need anything more powerful than that.
