Default Pressure Washer PSI question...

Club Lexus Members:

With spring around the corner, I anticipate crowded drive-through car wash stalls. In the market for a "pressure washer." What PSI safe limit should I consider so not to pressure wash the vehicle's paint off, but strong enough to remove VA mud from the undercarriage?

1200 psi — 1350 psi
For cleaning lawn furniture or washing your car, a washer of this size should be more than adequate

edit:

Got the info from lowes.

Glad I can help. I bought one 2 years ago during the fall and it was 1/2 price. If you can afford it, go with a 4 cycle motor.
