It is good to mention that pressure washing vinyl siding is not recommended. Some folks do it but it can create tremendous problems. If you are pointing the wand up, it can easily blow water behind the vinyl. If the house is over 20 years old it likely will not have house wrap behind the vinyl which means the sheathing and possibly the insulation will get wet. It can take days or weeks for it to dry out and mold and mildew will grow inside the walls of your house and cause all kinds of respiratory problems for the homeowner.

@juanesquivel1986 4 года назад

A pressure washer is perfectly safe for cars, but just try and stay at or below about 1800 psi and keep at least about 8 inches of distance from the paint. Also, ALMOST all drive-thru car washes use some form of high-pressure watering systems... food for thought in case you still don't believe my first statement.

You can wash a car with a pressure washer, just need to attach the right tip and keep the right amount of distance. All car detailers use pressures washing techniques and foam cannon's.

@bohamian903 4 года назад

Yeah she was completely off base with that statement.

This is a general use video, so this is more of a disclaimer to ensure that both she and lowes would not be caught up with a person who misused their pressure washer on their car.

These pressure washers work really well for washing a driveway before you applying driveway sealant.

@coppulor6500 10 месяцев назад

Driveway sealant? Would you consider expanding on that info? I'm sure I can look it up but if you have any tips and brand recommendations and quick info, that would be awesome. Didn't even know you could seal a driveway. I would imagine that would prevent mold from growing on it?

@charliem.7492 3 года назад

FYI...YES, You CAN use a pressure washer to clean your car or truck! Just look for the attachment for vehicles. I have one and have washed my truck with my pressure washer and NO paint came off of my truck, so don't listen to people that claim you can't pressure wash your vehicles!

@131dyana 2 года назад

@tybrown3041 5 лет назад

Most if the time you dont want to use high pressure on a house and every Auto detail shop uses pressure washers on cars. Never start the pressure washer without having trigger pulled

@michaelshelley3768 3 года назад

Nearly broke my arm that way when I was new

@Lambda.Function 3 года назад

I was given a maximum PSI for cleaning the stone on my house, going as high as possible might clean faster, but it also risks damage. You can do most house cleaning with a PSI that is also safe for washing cars, no need to go super high.

@tpfarm3535 5 лет назад

Good information! I ruined my deck with a pressure washer - mainly because I had no clue what I was doing.

@Blackfeet 3 года назад

What did you do specifically, I'm intrigued.😂

@tpfarm3535 3 года назад

First of all, it was my first time using a pressure washer and I borrowed the washer. I have a 900 SQ ft deck and I was hand scrubbing it to restain it. My neighbor came over and said I could do it in a fraction of the time with his power washer. Intrigued, I went for it. I finished scrubbing by hand and he showed me how to use it and I proceeded to power wash my deck. He was correct, it was fast and it removed the old stain beautifully. My deck was back to original wood color and I was excited at restaining my deck so quickly. But as it dried and I started inspecting the wood, the pressure washer shredded the wood fibers and actually gouged out grooves in some spots. I spent the next 5 days sanding trying to bring the smooth wood back and filling in the deeply gouged areas with a resin wood putty. After watching this video I realized my mistake. He had the 0° tip on there for his brick home. Changing tips was never mentioned so I never questioned it.

@ale189251 3 года назад

Should u even preasure clean wood. I think a deck can be cleaned with just a swapper now and then ?

@spencers4121 5 лет назад

Maybe I'm missing something, as I don't have or never used a "new" gas pressure washer. But shouldn't they made a point of purging the air out of the line, before starting the engine.

I still use a pressure washer on my car since its PSI rating is lower than usual. I just keep my distance and use the nozzle with the widest angle as well as making sure not to keep it shooting at a specific spot for more than like 4 seconds. Whatever’s there that I can’t get I just end up getting later.

Dust for cobwebs with a broom first. Water just glued the web to the surface.cleaners don’t really help unless you’re trying to kill mildew.

@djratino 2 года назад

You can pressure wash a car. I use the electric model. It's only 1700 psi compared to a gas 2300+ psi model. I also use a green (15°) nozzle designed for gas. It cuts the pressure way back. This is a similar setup mobile car wash guys use on power inverters or portable generators.

Would have been nice to show how to pressure wash other surfaces, like wood fencing,decking, vinyl siding....and also show how to use electric pressure washer, because when you use electric you have to do certain procedures so that water does not drip toward you extension cord connection ....ok video, but could have been a little more detailed for all types of washers
