underneath the arches

just got one of these, on a 190bar pressure washer it takes a bit of holding down but, lets say my pickup truck now has the cleanest wheel arches ever. (about 20 kg of mud came off it) excellent for washing the roof too

yes great but they can also cut through concrete, you sure they're clean and not blasted out of existence? Rolling with laughter my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

I'm one step ahead, I chose a larger nozzle than fitted on the other lance so slightly less vicious blast At work

When using something of a similar power to clean my drive, I thought I would run it over the garage door to clean it - big mistake! Embarassed It stripped the paint off as efficiently as a grit blaster, so I had to carry on and strip the whole lot and paint it again with special metals primer and several top coats etc. A "trigger-happy" moment of madness took many hours to put right! - 2007(57) XS Auto, Rimini Red, Alpaca Leather.

Ive been using such washers for years. this is our third, one died due to age, one got nicked, so have become well versed in how much blast to give different objects.

Also when washing out dirty chicken sheds you soon learn what angles to not wash at if you want to avoid a face full of chicken crap water. washing the inside of a bucket for example is akin to just tipping said bucket full over your face. Evil or Very Mad

Ive got wiser now and employ a washing gang, they turn up with a washer powered by a 4 cylinder turbo diesel engine. they also seem to spend quite a lot of time mending blown hoses Rolling Eyes At work
