I agree. My dad uses one on his company car, and my mom's car. But they don't really care about them.

I don't like the mist created by high pressure water. With a hose, you can run the water along the windows and the body of the car and as it runs off, leaves hardly any water beads behind - in other words, instantly dry windows and not much water left on the body to have to dry off.

 

wife bought me a nice tol craftsman washer. anybody using one o wash thier car. looking for some tips. the washer has 4 diff tips for diff psi and has two bottles for diff cleaning solution.

 

Try to use a low pressure tip and stand back a few feet when spraying. Never use it directly against the car or into the grill area.

Though all tips aside, I wouldn't use one. Too high a pressure can force water into areas that don't need it (i.e. headlights, trim, etc) and can worsen paint chips and scratches.

I'd rather stay old fashion and wash the car with a bucket and hose. That way I can 'feel' the cars finish and spot out problem areas to fix.

 

heck, with the paint on these cars it would prolly all peel off.

 

I bought the Mr Clean washer that hooks onto a regular water hose and you don't have to dry your car at all. Just washed my B with it today and yet again no spots have been left behind. Picked it up for about 20 bucks at Pep Boys, because I was tired of going to car washes and have to go over my car more then once to get all the spots. heh
