Most factory paint stays safe around 1,200–1,900 PSI with a wide fan tip, steady motion, and enough distance. A pressure washer can make a car look clean fast, but it can also chip weak clear coat, scuff soft trim, and force water into seams. The good news: you can keep paint safe with one sane

Dealers often price pre-owned vehicles above their true cost; you can spot the spread and negotiate it down with clean numbers. “Markup” is the gap between what a dealer has into a used car and what you’re asked to pay.
