Power Washers
I like to buy a power washer to wash my car. I don't want to wash off the paint, just the dirt. What PSI should I get or what is the largest PSI can I use on a painted surface?

I agree with Joe_F.
I've got a 13hp Honda powered pw and only tried it on my OWL tires. Nothing beats a hand sponge wash - all film is removed.
When I pw an alum or vinyl sided house, all I really need is a garden hose rinse. I'ts the brush or sponge that removes the bulk of dirt and all film. I'm sure you've been to those 25cent($1)car washes: the film remains.

I got one of those 2,600psi deals, takes off paint, undercoating, siding, shutters, shingles, molding, etc. Mostly just use it as a leaf blower, and to blast junk off the drive way into the street. Neighbor borrowed it once to strip an old dresser he had--I did'nt ask!!
