I only use my 40 degree tip for cars on my pressure washer. It is a ryobi 3800 psi gas washer. I learned several years ago how to properly use a pressure washer. I worked for a equipment rental company and we had a 5500 psi hot washer and washed everything with it. It was a huge commercial grade unit. We mainly kept the 40 degree tip on it too.

You probably know this after 17 years so it's a tip for your viewers. Leaving the pressure washer running without water flowing through the nozzle will heat the pump to unsafe temps. This will be the premature death of the pressure washer. The simple remedy to this is to let fresh water in the pump by pulling the trigger two or three times per minute. Plus shutting the pump off like you did when it isn't being used. That being said, I know nothing about polishing cars. I've been binging your videos for a few days and have found a lot of great info. THAN YOU. I have a 20 yr old van that has been stored outside and the roof has probably never been washed. I'm determined to get it clean, polished, and sealed before I cover it with solar panels and put in a roof vent. I think I'm on the right track but any specific suggestions from you or your viewers are welcome.

Just want to share this. JESUS CHRIST died for our sins on a cross. After His death He resurrected on the third day and was, is, and will be the TRUE Living God. In a prayer repent from your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and ask for the Holy Spirit to come into you in that same prayer. JESUS CHRIST is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Come to Jesus Christ as you are, but after you accept Jesus Christ, you change, become new, be born again, turn away from your wicked ways and do the will of God. There’s no other Way, but Jesus Christ.

I probably run mine in general at about 1400 or so. No issues....I go a little harder on my tires. I think as long as your not going with crazy pressure the big caveat is the age and condition of the vehicle.....If it ALREADY has some rusting or has the top coat erroded of course a pressure washer is a bad idea...newer cars though can take a good pounding...not that you should but I generally dont worry to much as long as your in a certain range. On a side note my brother who owns a kennel had me pressure wash some tires that are painted that are out in the dog yard. I was using a 2400 psi washer with a 15% nozzle at very close range and it was an absolute chore to get the paint off it....It was pretty strong pressure cause at one point I got my finger in the way and a couple days later I still have an open cut that I need to cover....It =broke my skin in less then a second lol.

@AB-80X
@AB-80X Жыл бұрын
Why? There's no reason why you should not use water. All you have to do is be smart about it. There's a reason why the black 45 degree soft nozzle exist. Waterless washes really wear paints like the old single layer Glasurit paints. They may be hard, but due to the lack of clear coat, they haze up and small swirls stand out in a different way than on clear coat. One of my cars is an Italian car from 1961 and the best result is to prewash with a no-frills prewash like a BH Auto Foam and then wash with something that has massive amounts of lube in it. Then finish off with a good sealant and wax. If anything, no ceramics on those cars. I am very careful, and I measure my paint thickness before and after each wash, and I also measure the gloss and haze levels. Over five years none of it has changed. I get no rust or anything like that either. The most difficult thing with such a car is all the chrome and polished steel. Wire wheels are a pain as the brake dust is hard to get to, but at the same time, you really need to use an acid cleaner that was designed for chrome wheels. Unfortunately, you don't want that stuff anywhere else, so wheels have to come off after long road trips to get cleaned. It's just a different ballgame all together and what we know about washing modern cars rarely applies. Waterless washes are a gimmick and should never be used on anything.

You might be able to test spray force (somewhat) more scientifically and repeatably by putting some kind of protective plate on top of a bathroom scale, and then directing a stream of a specific width at the plate to see how much force is being exerted on the scale, then divide by area of spray to get ‘PSI on target’. The “impact width” on the box appears to be about identical between the two nozzles at the moment of penetration-the 15 degree tip just produces that impact width at a greater distance. I think the droplet velocity and flow rate at the nozzle should be equivalent between the two and dictated primarily by the orifice size, so I think it follows that the force on target is basically just a function of the area across which the spray is distributed.

Granted I just bought my first power washer a week ago and have used it a couple times, once on my vehicle and on my fence. So far it exceeds my expectations, super happy with it. I did very extensive review and youtube comparisons/reviews and Greenworks is where it's at it seems. Even some power wash pros on KZfaq were recommending it if you were going electric. Anyways, good luck with w/e you choose.

Hi, If you use the 40 degree nozzle you should be fine. But i also mention going to a larger orifice nozzle which will increase your gpm and decrease the psi! I dont remember off the top of my head if the 2.5 or the 3.0 is better but here is the link to them amzn.to/3Kd76wG

Josh, as I looked at your review of the heads it appears that the 2.5 may be the ideal head. It seems that you believe the 3.0, even though it has an increased GPM the PSI was a bit low for your liking. So I guess I’ll order the 2.5 one. Thanks.

I've used this sprayer several times now on brick pavers, a wood deck, patio, and a driveway. kzfaq.infoUgkx43QMbQqu67IZadu9ou8Sg1BdrunMRNqX It has performed as expected on all surfaces. For larger areas like the decks and patios, I think I will be looking into a surface cleaner attachment to speed up the job, or at least make it a little easier. Hose and sprayer connections are tool-less, tight, and quick. I used the yellow nozzle on the concrete/brick surfaces, and the pressure was adequate for cleaning those surfaces.I am disappointed that these units are still being shipped with a nozzle storage holder that allows them to vibrate out of the holder way too easily and become lost, but I don't want to knock off a star for that reason. The functional part of the washer works very well, so I would recommend this product.

So can you use a 15 degree nozzle on car? With a 1800 psi washer and a 1.2 gpm.
@imjoshv
@imjoshv 6 ай бұрын
Yes you Absolutley can! Ideally in like a 40 degree and operating at 1200 at 2gpm but that’s my preference. The 15 degree standard will definitely still work

If you have 2000 psi or higher, what degree nozzle should you use to be safe on most paint?

I would use a 40 degree 90% of the time...maybe 25degree on the tires if you feel it needs it. I have a 2400 psi and do that with no issues....Depends on the condition of your vehicle also and if it still has its top coat intact with no chipping/rust etc.

Okay so my question is does a pressure washer drive dirt into the paint? Can it result in scratches? The specific truck It's also very confusing because I've heard you say that snow foam can encapsulate dirt. But others have said this is not how soap works.

I’m new to detailing and go a small electric PW at 1900 PSI. I accidentally used a 15 degree nozzle for some of my truck and then the largest nozzle up was a 25 degree. I wasn’t right up on my truck. I was probably a foot to a foot and a half off. I started reading forums and it got scary when people started talking about damaging clear coat. Do you think I damaged any clear coat by spraying it too hard?

You got to love the fact that thousands of questions get asked and yet I don't find any responses from Josh. Almost feels like it's pretty pointless to ask, since the question will not be answered unless he makes a video discussing the topic. I mean I know he can't answer this much and I'm sure he's pretty busy but wow I've never seen any other channel with this many questions and no answers.
