Looking for a Petrol Power Washer for the Car

Sound of Silence

Apologies if this is in the wrong Subforum!

At the moment I'm looking for a good quality Petrol Pressure Washer that will be used for cleaning the family cars. I might also be using it for the cleaning the driveway, so I'm looking for something with a little bit of punch!

Some provided attachments for the washer would be a real plus, but not absolutely necessary.

I have a budget of around €400, although I could go a little higher if needed.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

there is no need for the power of a petrol power washer for washing a car. they are way too powerfull and you could end up doing more harm than good like stripping paint.

buy a small cheap electric power washer for the cars, 70 euro will buy a good one. i have this http://www.argos.ie/static/Product/partNumber/7420023/c_1/1%7Ccategory_root%7CGarden+and+DIY%7C14418702/Trail/searchtext%3EPOWER+WASHER.htm and it dose the job fine.

Not worth paying for a petrol one unless you need the portability, an electric one would be far less hastle if it's only for home.

I'm waiting for mine to break so I can get one of these:

Nilfisk are meant to be great. Metal pump means they last (unlike cheap Karchers)
