Pressure washers are an important part of any car wash equipment arsenal, especially for mobile detailing businesses. Many people believe that dry steam cleaners are a good choice for cleaning vehicle exteriors. These units aren’t the best choice for detailing as they do not possess the sustained cleaning power needed to get an entire vehicle exterior clean. Though pressure washing units are a far more effective choice, it’s important to note that not all pressure washing machines are ideal. For instance, power washers that have pressure levels of 3000 psi may cause damage to the vehicle exterior. Apart from pressure levels, it’s also important to choose units that have low water flow rates.

Effective Water Usage
One of the main drawbacks of conventional pressure washing units is the relatively high water flow rates. High water flow rates usually mean unnecessary water wastage. Apart from using large quantities of water, these units will expel large volumes of water as well. When washing cars in a residential area, it’s important to remember that this may present a water drainage problem. When choosing car wash equipment, it’s best to choose pressure washing units that have a relatively low water flow rate of 0.5 GPM. This will ensure that the vehicle is cleaned effectively, but without wasting a lot of water in the process.

Choosing the right kind of car wash equipment is essential for any detailing business particularly one that offers a mobile car wash service. Pressure washing units that have a low water flow rate will consume less water and expel less water while cleaning.
