How many PSI is an electric pressure washer for car detailing?
I’ve been looking into detailing my car myself with my pressure washer, but I’m wondering if the one I have at home will be safe to use on my car. How many PSI is safe to use with an electric pressure washer for car detailing?

Both electric car gas-powered pressure washers can handle most home cleaning projects, including
detailing
your car. Electric pressure washers have the added benefit of being quieter, lighter and require less maintenance. If you’re using a light-duty electric pressure washer that you have for basic home use, you should be perfectly fine to pressure wash your car with it. The maximum PSI you should use for a car wash should be 1,900, and your typical light-duty pressure washers rate up to 1,899 PSI and can also be used to safely clean outdoor furniture and grills.
Washing your car at home is a great way to save yourself time and money that would otherwise be spent at a specialists. Another great way to save money on your car is with the
