since reading this forum i'm getting paranoid about damp etc (i blame Dan and the aircon thing )

with the jeep i could use the big karcher on full power and never had a problem

BUT

i'm getting worried about the RR

i've been over three ploughed fields this morning and it needs a bath - its currently dark brown from ground to roof

so in all seriousness is there a problem with pressure washers?

thanks guys/gals

the clue is in the title nick, water under pressure....it will find any opening into the range and will get into the many electronics we have ...in fact pressure washers will take off paint in some circumstances...
go waterless or in your muddy situation use soapy water and rinse off with a very low water flow hose pipe, or like me wait for it to rain.. ... - .- -.

thanks Stan

so it will be Snow Foam under low pressure - followed by a quick rinse off using the karcher from a 'distance' and then two bucket method and rinse with filtered water

talking of pressure washers and stripping paint - i managed to strip the clear coat lacquer off my Porsche front bumper many years ago!! - i was horrified as it came off in 'sheets'!

Nick, what filter are you using? I've been looking at the in-line jobbys but can't find one with high flow rates. Or should I just be rinsing at the end with it?

As per PW, just don't use it too close to the paint and don't hover along the joints too much.

PS. remember to silicone spray your door seals after a hardcore wash session

This really depends on how hard your local water is if it is a warm day you cannot get all the water towelled off a Rangey fast enough to stop hard water marks. I use a large water but filled with water via a filter and then pour this over the car as a final rinse can let the car air dry and no water marks  Far to many gone...
