Ok, key tasks will be washing the cars, and a snowfoam attachment seems sensible. I see on modern washers it is often possible to vary the pressure. This has to be a bonus.Sorry to ask a stoopid question, but what are all the key tasks you will want it to do? I assume wash the car’s bodywork for one (?!) - but for example will you use it to clean your engine bay occasionally, clean your drive/pathways etc.?
This may have a bearing on recommendations
I am considering the purchase of a Pressure Washer. Any recommendations or ones to avoid from member experience?
I’ve had an Aldi powerforce jet wash since 2003 and have had only 1 problem with it , which was covered under their 3 year warranty !
Phoned & expected problems only to be told wrap it up in cardboard & a courier will pick it up in the morning , it was returned in 3 days direct from the Karcher factory!
Strange Karcher only give 1 year warranty!

Bucket and Sponge is the only safe way for Washing Cars. Seals on Cars are only designed to stop rain water / spray at very low pressure. Not the High Pressure from Pressure Washers. They cause damage by forcing water past seals where it was never meant to go. They do not even work to wash Road film away. Complete waste of time and money.
2 bucket method & grit guards for meI think in terms of simply keeping a nice car nice, yes, I'd agree. For dealing with salty, muddy clagg, around door shuts (A-post area for instance), underneath wheel arches / arch edges, filthy mats and so on, you're going to need more than a hose and a bucket.
For all that, I would say that it's rare for the pressure washer to come out at Rusty Towers, but when it's needed, it's needed: nothing else will do.
I got mine in 2007 from clean & shiny but now widely available from Halfords or a multitude of detailing companiesTopic swerve (apologies).
Buckets with grit guards: where do you buy yours?
Thank you, Andrew
