I’ve had success with biodegradable car soaps. They’re safe for the environment and your paint job!
I’ve found that using a foam cannon really helps loosen dirt before you pressure wash. It makes the entire cleaning process easier!
Foam cannon? Sounds fun! Is it hard to set up with a pressure washer?
It’s super easy to set up! Just attach it to the spray wand and you’re good to go.
Safety tip: always use a neutral pH soap to avoid damage to your car’s finish. Prevention is key!
Great point, @kathryngonzalez! Also, don’t forget to rinse thoroughly to prevent soap residue.
Regarding pressure washing, any thoughts on using hot water? I’ve heard it can be more effective.
Hot water can definitely help, but make sure your washer is designed for it! Otherwise, you could damage the unit.
I think this sounds way more fun than going to a car wash! Can’t wait to try it out with my friends this weekend.
Just remember not to spray too close to the paint – you could strip it off! Always test in a small area first.
Great safety reminder! I learned that the hard way. Now I always keep a safe distance.
I wonder if there’s a specific technique for drying after washing? Any tips?
Use microfiber towels! They absorb water well and are less likely to scratch your paint. I’ve been using them for years.
I recently did some research on high pressure car washes. Most places charge between $10 and $30, depending on your vehicle size and extras. The performance definitely varies!
Thanks for sharing! I’ve seen prices getting a bit higher, especially for detailing. Are you finding the higher cost worth it in terms of cleaning efficiency?
In my experience, you definitely get what you pay for. I found a wash for $20 that does a much better job than the $10 ones. Worth considering if you use a lot of mud and grime.
That’s true! I once got a “cheap” wash that barely made a dent in the dirt. I think investing in a decent wash saves time overall.
Is there a place that offers a loyalty program? I’d definitely consider a higher price for regular washes if I could save in the long run.
I found a local place that offers discounts on future washes if you pay upfront for a package. It’s a little pricey, but totally worth it!
That’s awesome! Do you know if they offer just the high pressure wash, or is it bundled with other services?
