Can i do anything cool with a pressure washer?

Alright, i just found out a few days ago i have a pressure washer at my house (i dont pay much attention to things). Anyways, i was just wonderin if i can do anything cool with a pressure washer....like with my car anyways. Lemme know if you guys have any good ideas. Thanx

...wash something? that's cool.




hehe... you can degrease your engine if its dirty :)

you could take off your wheels and clean those suspension components..i know mine have tons of black goop on them thats very nasty.....damn goop

you can blow the shit out of your wheel wells.......and/or put the car up on a jack and clean underneath your car

umm.... wash it? wash the engine? clean ur suspension, clean the underbody, clean ur rims, and if u wanna see if u have any exhaust leaks... just spray a huge stream in there lmao... j/k bout the last one haha:D

I usually clean my rims, muffler, wheel wells, and the stock black grille on my front bumper with my pressure washer, always comes out quite nice.

Note, I no longer have fog lights

Awesome, i didnt even think about wheel wells and suspension, or the car itself, or even the wheels. The only thing i was thinkin was engine bay but i heard you can mess shit up if you dont cover electronics/hoses and crap. Thanx all, cant wait for a warm day so i can try that baby out.

If its powerful enough you could probably peel the paint off your car:)

Which is the reason you really dont wanna use it on the rest of the car,

Great thing though, my caliper paint is holding up great! Its been like 5 months now and it looks like I just did it.

Pressure washers is one of detailers many friends. you can clean almost any thing with it, just becareful around loose paint. instead of scrubbing stuff with a brush to loosen it, just spray the checmical & pressure wash off. huge time saver. pressure washers is my choice for cleaning engines. gardern hose is too much water, pressure washer is only a fine mist. just dont spray directly in electronic parts, those can be cleaned by hand after the big mess is gone. also dont clean a HOT engine, warm is good, but not HOT.


cleaning a very dirty engine can make leaks worse because they have been clogged by road grime & then you clean & make all pretty then the next thing you notice leaks every where. (not usually a honda problem)
