Recommendations for tip-top quality car pressure washer

Money no object, up to about £300.

I don't know anything about washing cars or using a pressure washer - Obviously my Butler sorts this sort of thing out with one of the outside minions.

However I have a slight issue with the oxymoron!

wash your car yourself?

INKSPE

go down and get a nice illegal to wash it while you shop.

Really sad, but since I bought a Porsche I wash my car every couple of weeks and wax every few months. I find it really relaxing, though my neighbors think I'm an obsessed tit.

So I agree with what you have said apart from the "Snow foam the car", cause i don't know what you mean. When do you use the clay, I've got some but not used it yet?

God, I am so sad, and so happy this isn't in general.

Snow foam is a cleaning aid, the basic idea is that it grips onto the dirt for longer than just spraying it with water, making it wetter and easier to remove - but also because the foam slowly drips off the car, it takes some of the dirt with it...



With regards to clay, you dont use that as often, once or twice a year, give the car a good thorough wash, use something like Chemical Guys Lime and Prime to get all of your wax off THEN you clay the car to remove anything that's stuck on that hasn't been removed by the previous washes.

If you youtube it chemical guys have a load of videos on the subject.

There are also loads of guides on detailing world, like this chart to show the various steps and when to do them:

See my previous post - properly washing a car can be very technical.

Or is the technical section just for specific technical questions? where is the line?

No matter how hard you wash that car, I'm afraid it will still be a Ford.

Yes because you normally need to be over 40 to insure it
