For car washing, a high-pressure cleaning unit with pressures of between 100 – 150bar is usually required (anything higher and decals may be stripped off the vehicle). Cleaners with a volume output of 10 – 15 L/min are sufficient. Truck washing requires a high pressure of 200bar at a volume of 15 – 19 L/min.
For standard car washing applications, a cold water unit is adequate. For more heavy-duty cleaning, a hot water pressure washer may be needed.
The following high-pressure cleaners are suitable for car wash applications:
