The only thing that we in our extensive detailing have found them useful for is cleaning inside wheel arches. Not worth it if you ask me.

Albow Grease, stick to your trusty garden hose. At the end of the day, you want to wash the dirt off your car, not drive it off with high pressure.

I disagree and use it on every detail. Providing you don't use it mm's away from your paint it will cause no harm and most feature adjustable nozzle's to control the spray. They are ideal for misting engine bays, cleaning arches and wheels as well as rinsing before and after washing.

Also something to note is the amount of water you save using a pressure washer over a regular hose. Due to some fannying about by our body corporate we were told to install a water meter for the detailing, needless to say having monitored the usage the difference is shoking. A regular wash with the PW uses around 60l of water....The same wash process with a gardena nozzle resulted in over 300l of water going down the tubes
