| Do's | Don'ts |
|---|---|
| ✅ Use a wide-angle nozzle (25° or 40°) | ❌ Use a 0° or 15° nozzle - it concentrates pressure and will cut into paint and trim . |
| ✅ Maintain a safe distance (12-18 inches) | ❌ Stand too close - high pressure can damage paint, decals, and ceramic coatings. |
| ✅ Use a low to medium PSI (1,000 - 1,500) | ❌ Use maximum PSI - pressure washers for cars don't need more than 1,600 PSI. |
| ✅ Wash in the shade with a cool surface. | ❌ Pressure wash direct sunlight - it causes soap and water to dry too quickly, leaving spots. |
| ✅ Test pressure on an inconspicuous area first. | ❌ Spray directly at seals, vents, or sensors - you can force water where it doesn't belong. |
