For detailing, look for an electric pressure washer with around 1000-2000 PSI and a water flow rate of 7-9+ litres per minute - that's the sweet spot for safe, effective cleaning. A good car pressure washer should be powerful enough to lift dirt, but gentle enough to avoid damaging paint.
Flow rate is probably the most important feature when it comes to detailing. Higher water volume means better rinsing and thicker foam when using cannon - which is why most detailers learn toward high pressure washers with strong output and solid build quality. If you're setting up a garage or studio, a wall mounted pressure washer keeps your space tidy and efficient. Prefer mobility? A compact portable pressure washer is prefect for quick weekend washes.
Ultimately, the best pressure washer for car detailing is one that balances power, prioritises water flow, is reliable and built from durable materials.
