thanks
The pressure is sufficient to clean the car. We can vary the pressure by 'pointing' or 'flattening' the output water flow. I think the max pressure is around 90 bar. Very effective in cleaning the under body and wheel well. Till now I have not faced any issue, except for a rubber washer that broke off from the hose connector (the dealer replaced it free of cost anyway).
On an average, I use it once in two weeks.

Aquatak 100 plus has additional accessories compared to Aquatak 100. I think there is also Aquatak 10. Price differs for these three models based on supplied accessories and all of these are rated at 100 bar output pressure.

Re: Wash cars under water pressure ?

How much pressure do we need to wash the car without hurting the paint or polish. if we use more pressure for washing the car the paint can get damaged. Anyone had any damage to the paint surface in using these power washers?

Re: Wash cars under water pressure ?

Power washeres with pointed jets will damage the paint.
The model APW120EP from woodpecker is not listed under car washer. So i'm not sure whether it will carry the proper accessories might need to check out.

I just tried calling the number of sara. (5588164). The number is apparently not valid so I added a 2 to it and it rank. A nice sounding lady picked it up and had me pretty surprised. They asked whether I wanted to become a airhostess . It was Frankfinn academy . I was looking for a pressure washer too.How is your pressure washer doing? Did you also get fome filters for your pressure washer? I was told it is highely succeptible to impurities in water like sand or other particles.

lol. Even I tried a google search to find the correct number. So far so good and is worth the money spent and it takes less time to wash a car or may be 2 cars. Have used for 3 hours in a stretch with very short breaks in between; works good. I suppose there is a strainer inside the connector where you plug the water inlet hose. So less chance to get impurities inside. For a comparison of accessories across models, see the link Hicare

The one in the video is a cheap generic made in China job. Similar washers can be picked up for £30 in the UK and are not built to last.

If you are going to invest in a pressure washer then go for a known brand with an induction motor.
