pail Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Doesn't clean worth a shit unless you have the nozzle hovering a half inch from the ground. I'm almost done cleaning my driveway but I've had to put in at least 10 hours of work over the course of two days to be almost finished. Piece of shit.

scoobdog Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 electric. found your problem. Electric pressure washers work just fine, unless you're try to fuck up shit on purpose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rogue_Alphonse Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 Gas works much better. I had a Subaru one (I forget what brand, I think Husky) that would take old paint off of any surface, or I could power wash a Jeep and no water would force its way through any parts of the soft top.

They're also a lot more difficult to maintain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginguy Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 You can use an oxygenated bleach to boost cleaning, but yeah electric is the path to fail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 That should be more than enough for power washing a sidewalk. Maybe your machine itself is just shit, but it could be the wrong nozzle tip too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobdog Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Never done that with any of my equipment then again I use the ethonal free gasoline Its a good idea to do it, though. Any gas that stays in the carbereteur [sic] will evaporate and leave a glaze on the ports. Do that enough times, and it block the ports and makes for an expensive trip to the lawn mower repair.

PhilosipherStoned Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I found a video online on how to properly service any kind of washing machine. I don't know if it'll work for a pressure washer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gyaos Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 I wouldn't know anything about pressure washing driveways. I've only ever lived in places that had gravel lots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
