Power washer destroying my car? - arko2 - 10-14-2020 Hi I have started going to a car wash my friend recommended it. She said they did a good job and wasn't expensive. It have been going lately and they do a good job of washing my car. I have noticed the power washer is VERY powerful you can hear and see it is a VERY strong pressure. I had noticed my alloy wheels were getting chipped (I don't know if that is the correct word to describe it) or perhaps corroded is a better term. After the last car wash there is a bit of paint of my car and the alloys are worse looking now too. The only thing I can put it down to is the car wash and the powerful power washer  I don't think the workers will understand what I am saying if I go back because they don't speak much English... Has this happened to anyone else at a car wash? Is all power washers bad for your car? Or is it that this one seems VERY powerful? I don't want my car destroyed any more. The alloys aren't great now and now there is a bit of paint of my car also :yuk::yuk: Has anyone any advise? RE: Power washer destroying my car? - black55 - 10-16-2020 I don't think it's that bad for you. I am sure that not washing destroys the car, and improper use such as improper power nozzle for cleaning, you direct the flow of water the WTO is not the place. I have two cars and a motorcycle having recently picked up a high pressure washer https://cleanup.expert/electric-power-washer-ratings/ which I wash not only cars, but also a wooden fence.
