We have an absolutely beautiful tree in the front of our house. It’s great to keep our car cool in the summer all year long. Yet, day in and day out, one thing we cannot seem to avoid is birds pooping on our car! I can’t help but have a solution to little droppings all over my car!
Cleaning the car can often be seen as quite the laborious task. The image here is likely to be buckets of soap, water and a hefty amount of elbow grease for good measure. However, this does not have to be the case in the slightest. So with that in mind, let’s begin a look at some of the reasons why it’s a worthwhile investment for your car-cleaning routine.
No one likes to see their car get worn out in appearance. A pressure washer is perfect for car owners who want the make sure that their prized possession will be squeaky clean and free from dirt. This is especially true for those spots that remain determined to stay on your car, no matter how much you rub at them.
Spray With Care
It should be pointed out and well noted that you must take care using the pressure washer on your car. Check to see if the nozzle has variable widths. It’s very important that you do not use the most pointed and powerful setting on the car’s paintwork or any chips in the paintwork; this could lead to the paint being stripped away. Certainly not the outcome that you wanted from cleaning the car!

Steps to a Cleaner Car
So, by using sensible settings and attachments you can get the job done without damage. A wide spray is good for rinsing off the initial layer of grime, dirt and various other bits that have stuck on. The least powerful setting should then be used for spraying the car in the foam wash to cover it. With the cleaner applied, you can then start to target the more stubborn dirt that’s still left on. Here, the brush attachment can be used if your machine has one. The brush should be able to take care of not only the harder to remove grease and dirt, but equally for the wheels to get them shining again. All done, stand well back and use the higher powered and wider spray to give your car a final wash down.
This should have your car shining again, and leave you with a satisfied smile for a job well done with less the hassle. Your pressure washer may take some time to get used to, but once it becomes familiar you won’t look back!
Great tip on the nozzle not being too forceful or direct with paint chips – I learned that lesson the very hard way many years ago!
It's so much easier than a a regular hose! I always thought it was too harsh for the car altogether.
my husband takes care of all the car stuff in our house. He usually goes to the car wash because we don't have a pressure washer.
So does mine, but I find I don't get it cleaned as often when he goes to the car wash.
ti don't have a pressure washer but I would like one. I could use a few things fir my van. Can't escape the bird poop.
Can't escape the poop but so much easier to drag that out than go to the car wash. You can wash the poop off way more often this way!
I used to clean my car myself but the car wash is so much faster so I do that now.
Ever tried it with a pressure washer? Might save you the trip?
Yeah using the pressure washer the car washing is so easy and i shall perform it after 2 weeks. Thanks
Thank you for the tip! Our car could use a good cleaning, haha,.
LOL! Thankfully my husband has taken that on!
This would make me too nervous about chipping the paint or breaking something. I get my car washed whenever I bring it in for service!
LOL! It's something you'd have to get used to, but it's super easy and fairly fast! Of course, the service people are the professionals!
Good tip on avoiding the potential paint chipping. You're right, that's not an outcome anyone would want, but if care isn't taken, it could easily happen.
No, but once you learn the right pressure, then you should be able to save a bunch of money and time, by not having to go to the car wash.
Great tips. I think you hit all the important tips. With kids it is an interesting task.
LOL! But once you get them trained, you have free car washing every Saturday morning!
I didn't know you could use a pressure washer on your vehicle. I always thought the pressure could leave dents and lossen stuff. Idk, I'm not a car person. I'll tell the hubby though he is fanatic about his car and washes it weekly, I do mine monthly, mostly cause if I don't he will. lol
Yes! So did I! Yet, that's what the car washes actually use. My hubby is the car person in my house too, but I need to get more involved in the care.
There's something about a pressure washer that makes cleaning so satisfying.
LOL! I think because it seems like it's getting so very deep, where your hands can't reach!
My hubs has had to break out the pressure washer from time to time after we've taken the Jeeps for a trail ride. Although I'm not certain he would do the same on our nicer vehicles.
True. The dirt and grime on those Jeeps must run deep! Oh my. Going for a trail ride seems like so much fun!
How cool never thought to use a pressure washer to clean the car.
Before this, neither had I!
I would love to get a pressure washer. My car is filthy right now.
In the long run, it's definitely worth getting one!
I need to work on keeping my car cleaner … it's definitely one of those things that gets put off quite a bit in the busyness of life! Good tips here.
Definitely for me too! I wish there was something as simple for the inside of the car!
Great tip – I was able to try car cleaning once – it was hard haha!
That's why car washes are a thriving business!
It is very nice guide to clean the car with using pressure washer. I have done it using your tips and it was so easy. Thanks
