Pressure washers
With all the talk about spring and cleaning trucks, I see CT has a clearance sale on pressure washers. So I went in to take a look and this is what I came home with, 2900psi 6.5hp gas pressure washer, It should take the paint....
I mean the dirt off the truck.

Nice. 2900psi ain't much, I started doing high pressure waterblasting years ago with 10 000psi and then moved up to 36 000psi

Nice looking rig Kieth. I bought the S2000 model around seven years ago, and still works great.
2000 psi is more than sufficient for regular around the house jobs, whether it's blasting off the truck or using it to prep my deck before I sealed it.
You should have more than enough to strip off the paint. lol

Oh yeah. That'll be more than adequate to wash a vehicle, and then some.
You probably already know, but do not EVER be tempted to use the 0° nozzle on anything you don't intend to drill a hole in.

I'm sure I will find lots of uses for it, stripping deck, cleaning driveway, grass edger, etc.

Safe to say electric power washers are about as good as electric superchargers.

So do you's use a pressure washer detergent to wash trucks, or still use wash mitt with your favorite soap and bucket of water, using the pressure washer to rinse ?

I use the pressure washer to rinse off all the crap before breaking out the wash mitt....sort of a pre-wash, with or without detergent, doesn't really matter.
Much like the coin-operated car wash, the pressure washer is good for getting the crap off, especially when you hit the wheels with brake dust spray and then the pressure washer.
That being said, no matter how good the pressure washer, there's no substitute for the wash mitt and bucket of soapy water to get the road grime off your paint.
Machines are great, but nothing beats a good hand job.
