Car beauticians usually use high-pressure washers when washing vehicles. This equipment is favored for its high efficiency and powerful cleaning ability. The high-pressure washers commonly used by car beauticians in their work include air compressors and nozzle-type washing equipment. Air compressors are the main pneumatic source in car beauty shops. When washing cars, nozzle-type washing equipment uses high-pressure water flow to wash cars. In addition, there are other types of washing equipment, such as roller brush low-pressure washing equipment, but they are less used in the field of car beauty.
Here are some factors that car beauticians consider when choosing a high-pressure washer and the recommended types:

- Pressure setting: The pressure of a high-pressure washer is usually between 1000-3000 psi. Beauticians will adjust the pressure according to different cleaning needs to avoid damage to the vehicle surface.
- Nozzle type: Different nozzles can be used for different cleaning tasks. Rotating nozzles are suitable for removing stubborn dirt, while flat nozzles are suitable for large-area cleaning.
- Water flow: Washers with high flow can complete cleaning tasks faster and are suitable for high-frequency commercial use.
Portability: Some car detailers may need to move the cleaning equipment, so it is important to choose a pressure washer that is lightweight and easy to operate.
