    which power washer

    So my power washer broke and need a new one.
    i really only used it for the house but i am now thinking about using it for the cars as well.
    I would like to know if many of you guys use a power washer to wash the cars you work on
    and what kind of washer do you use. I dont really want an electric one , i prefer gas. I know i dont need one more than 3000 psi. I have been searching a little and see some that you can
    actually put soap in and dont have the little hose to suck what ever cleaning solution you
    decide. i am wondering if you can use that to foam a car up. Any input about a power washer
    that you use will be appreciated thanks.

    Go with a Honda may cost more but it's better than Briggs Stratton .

    Gas pressure washer for cars is likely overkill.

    If you want a gas pressure washer: Honda motor. CAT pump. Electric start is nice!

    If you'll be using a surface cleaner in the future, take note of their flow requirements!

    I have a Dewalt 3800. Definitely overkill for cars, have to be mindful of your distance when using something that can eat concrete like its nothing lol

    What PSI is good for removing bugs and will be paint safe. I'm looking at getting an electric so I don't disturb the neighbors.

    I got a gx 390 and can regulate pressure from 4000 psi to 100 psi or even less.electric PW is a different ball game,but is good for personal use not commercial.1000 psi with a little distance would be fine for removing bugs.I always use the white tip wide spray.

    You will be well served by a 2000psi electric pressure washer.
