Secrets to Pressure Washer Use for Auto Detailing or Mobile Car Washing
Many auto detailers will recommend to not use pressure washers in auto detailing or mobile car washing.
Recently this issue came up in an online question and answer session with "The Car Wash Guy" when he was asked by a Hawaiian inquirer the following question; "Some of the people in the Auto Detailing or Mobile Car Washing business say it is unsafe to use a pressure washer and recommend washing by hand because they think pressure washing is to powerful and will eventually strip the paint.
Is that true?" No, that is basically bull.
Now if this concerns you there is a guy at the government center on the other side of the island that uses dry wash n' guard so this is another option for you.
Pressure Washer Use on Automobiles; Play It Safe With High Pressure Tips On Using A Pressure Washer Additionally "The Car Wash Guy" was asked; "Do you have a type of nozzle that would prevent this?" We do but you do not have too, just use the 1-foot rule at 1500 to 2000 psi, if you see chips back off to 18 inches and use the soap and sponge to remove the bugs, do not blast them, as being in salt air is tough on cars and you can chip them if they are already chipping.
If there is a chip do I need insurance or will I need insurance; "What kind of insurance do you use?" For paint chips insurance does not make sense but we recommend a General liability, garage keeper's policy.
If you are a regular person with few assets mostly likely you probably need a 100K policy, not more than 300K aggregate with 150K per occurrence.
And unless you are doing fleets or working in large corporate centers and they require it, I would not go hog wild on insurance costs.
It is not a sue happy on the island as it is in lets say a CA, WA, MA, MD or DC.
Consider this in 2006.
