Pressure Washing washing after waxing

[Fabio]

HI
I normally use a pressure washer to wash my car. But i waxed it for the first time last weekend and was wondering it is okay to use the pressure washer next time i wash it or should i just use running water??

Thanks

Hi I have always used a presure washer on my car even after waxing it. As long as ou keep a distance away from the car and you dont concentrate on one area of the car for a long period of time you will be ok. If its only a little dirty then just use a hose or summat just to get the dust off.

the pressure washer will be fine like C$ said, just don/'t get too close or spend too much time in one area

Not all of us I am afraid to say , I recently had cracks appear on the rear lenses of the 05 MC and after much ' head scratching ' I found out the cause -- our Hot power wash . brilliant for brake dust not so good for rear lenses .

No hot power wash... or any power wash with the soap injected into the water stream...
It will strip your wax right off the car or at least seriously degrade it. I'd save the power wash for your wheel wells, the undercarrage and the back of the wheels.

they're just unnecessary, there's no reason why a normal hose with a decent spray attachment can't do the job. i have a spray attachment with about 8 different spray patterns which does the job great
