Effective Auto Detailing Equipment for Vehicle Exteriors



When choosing auto detailing equipment for vehicle exteriors, it is important to remember the unique challenges involved in cleaning these areas. The outside of a vehicle often bears the brunt of dirt, water, and other road debris. A drive through the country or even a week of taking the car to work in the city can take its toll on the vehicle’s exterior. Apart from the usual drifts of dust and mud spatters, vehicle exteriors can also pick up road salt, grease, oil stains, bird spatter, and bug stains. If these deposits are not removed immediately, they may have a corrosive effect on the vehicle surface or paint job. While it is imperative to remove these stains and sediments, it’s equally important to use the right auto detailing equipment for the job.

Daimer® recognizes cleaning vehicle exteriors requires auto detailing equipment that is powerful, but not so powerful that it ends up damaging the body of the vehicle. A pressure washer like Daimer®’s Super Max™ 6120SCW,which is among the best car detailing equipment features safe pressure levels at 1000 psi and low flow rates at 0.5 GPM. Pressure washers that have pressure levels above 1500 psi can cause dents, scratches, and paint chipping on the vehicle’s exterior.

In terms of water flow rates, it is recommended to use pressure washing units that have relatively low water rates of 0.5 GPM, since this will reduce excessive water wastage. This is an important point to consider for mobile detailing jobs and for companies concerned about drainage fines.
