Power Washing

I was just in CVS and they had a power washer for 19.99 (the as seen on tv one). Is this bad for the paint?

This one? https://www.buywaterjet.com/

It looks pretty handy. For $20 it even comes with a soap dispenser - not bad. It doesn't use electricity or gas so there's no way it will harm your paint, but it does look convenient. If I see it locally, I might be tempted..

^ That looks pretty cool. I don't think it's all that powerful though but for our cars I think it's great.

Personnally I would not use a power wash to wash my car.... I think there is too much risk of damaging the paint.

Try this.....
