When purchasing a pressure washer with the intention to wash your car, there are a few things you should consider.
First, you should consider the type of pressure washer. The two main types are electric and gasoline. For the purpose of washing a car, you will generally want to steer toward electric, as they have lower max PSI, which is ideal for car washes.
Next, consider if the pressure washer has adjustable nozzles that allow you to change the PSI as needed. A pressure washer with interchangeable wands makes it adaptable to many situations.
Other things to consider include the weight, price, and hose length of the pressure washer. Finally, since you’ll be using your pressure washer outside, cord length is important.
