That’s why we chose the Simpson PS3228 as our best pressure washer for cars. If you use a pressure washer professionally for car detailing, you need a model that can stand up to daily use. 3500 PSI is about the top of the pressure range, putting a lot of the big commercial models out of the picture.Īnd just to reiterate a second time-don’t pressure wash your car! While most foam cannons work with a wide range, we seem to get the best results with at least 3000 PSI and 2.0 GPM. We prefer to pair a pressure washer with a foam cannon and we’re partial to the Chemical Guys’ Big Mouth Max Release Foam Cannon. Stick to elbow grease and a soft cloth for the actual cleaning. Use your pressure washer with a soap nozzle ONLY to apply soap and to rinse the vehicle. Our recommendation for the best pressure washer for cars comes with a major asterisk: *don’t pressure wash your car! Most pressure washers have enough power to damage the finish and even dig into the paint.
