Default Pressure Washing vs. House.

Hey all ,

Just wanted to share that I have discovered that if I pressure wash my metal rims on the car they come cleaner than if I just use a hose. Thought I'd pass that along. Also Mc'Greger's or however its spelled is fantastic stuff for your rims.

We bought a pressure washer for my house last year to clean the shingles b4 painting. My father tried it out on his car and took the finish off his wheels. You have to be really careful you can strip the paint right off the car with that.

It can also embed dirt into the finish. Any high pressure washing on a painted surface is a bad idea.
