    Of all the pressure washing machines on the market, steam pressure washers easily rank among the most powerful. These industrial pressure washers are great for heavy duty industrial projects and have far more cleaning power than commercial pressure washers utilizing cold water or even hot water. However, to get the most out of them, it is important to understand what makes these water pressure washers so powerful.

    The problem is that for detailing super high power isn't needed... and isn't even ideal...

    I have used pressure washer on heavy equipment that took decals right off... do you want to be blasting a BMW and have the badges falling off?

    For the average detailer, around 2 gallons per minute (gpm) and 1500psi is adequate for most detailing jobs.

    I've got a Karcher 1800 and it's great. My old one was a 1500. It was ok..this one's better, but I don't need anything more powerful than what I have now.

    I bought a little 1500psi, 1.5 gpm electric from Home Depot on sale. I had to as it was only $49. The wand sucks but the little guy works great. I don't how long it'll last but it was only $49!
