Detergents and soaps are used for cleaning because pure water can't remove oily, organic soiling. Soap cleans by acting as an emulsifier. Basically, soap allows oil and water to mix so that oily grime can be removed during rinsing.
Detergents cannot accomplish much until some mechanical energy or agitation is added into the equation. This mechanical energy is provided by the pressure washer. As the detergent emulsifies the grime, breaking the chemical bond, the blasting effect of the pressurized water strips the dirt from the surface, while the flowing water rinses the detergent and soil away. Warm or hot water, or steam, melts fats and oils so that it is easier for the soap or detergent to dissolve the soil and pull it away into the rinse water.
High pressure washer is a mechanical device that uses a pump to generate a high-pressure stream of water to clean surfaces. The pump is typically powered by a gasoline engine, an electric motor, or a diesel engine. The pump is a positive displacement pump that forces a specific amount of water flow from the outlet. By restricting the flow with the nozzle, much like you do by placing your thumb over the end of a garden hose, the pressure washer produces pressure. Without the nozzle the impact of the water from the end of the pressure washer hose is similar to that from a garden hose. The narrow diameter of the nozzle increases the water's velocity and, consequently, its impact and cleaning power. The smaller the nozzle orifice, the more pressure is potentially produced. However to produce greater pressure, more horsepower is required to force the water through the smaller hole. Each pressure washer calls for a specific size nozzle to match the flow of the pump and the horsepower of the motor. Putting too small a nozzle on your pressure washer strains the components and may cause excessive wear to the machine; too large a nozzle sacrifices cleaning power.
Different High pressure washers have different cleaning abilities. Read the documentation that came with your pressure washer before beginning any cleaning task and confirm that your model is appropriate for the job. Learn how to set up your machine and how to select the correct spray pattern. Settings vary by whether you're applying detergent or performing high-pressure cleaning and by the type of surface you're cleaning.
Move the vehicle to an open space and close the windows, doors and sunroof. If you're pressure washing a boat with a canopy or removable seat cushions, take these items off of the boat. If you're washing a truck, remove loose items from the bed. Cover any exposed electrical components on the vehicle.
Pressure washers use pumps, powered by gas engines or electric motors, to amplify the water pressure, providing the power necessary for a variety of cleaning applications.
Pressure washer pumps have two connection points for low and high pressure. The low pressure connection (IN) is threaded to accept a standard garden hose. The high pressure connection accepts a high pressure hose (typically M22 threaded or 3/8-inch QC) that connects to a hand-held wand.
After you clean your vehicle, move it away and flush the work area with clear water to dilute the detergent residue. You'll also need to take care of the pressure washer. Your manual should include directions for relieving the water pressure, draining liquid from the pump and storing the machine. Follow these instructions to make sure your pressure washer is ready for your next cleaning project.
Consult the vehicle owner's manual for cleaning instructions specific to the vehicle. Using a pressure washer incorrectly can damage your vehicle, so check the pressure washer manual for operating instructions, including information on spray settings and how far the spray tip should be from the vehicle.
