Best Pressure Washers for Maintaining Vehicle Fleets

Best Pressure Washers for Maintaining Vehicle Fleets
Car rental companies, cab services, bus depots, and similar businesses require pressure washers that are powerful, durable, and capable of operating long hours without overheating to clean vehicles. The best pressure washers should have the following features:

1. Moderate pressure levels: While high pressure levels are very effective in cleaning hard surfaces, they may dent or strip off paint from car exteriors. Daimer®’s best pressure washers for commercial fleet maintenance have pressure levels between 700 psi and 1500 psi; high enough to remove dirt and grease but not damage the car surface.

2. Mobility: The best pressure washers should have wheels to easily transport them from car to car for cleaning. The Super Max™ 6000, for example, has wheels and a compact design. If you run a mobile car wash business, you could invest in a trailer mountable pressure washer.

3. Water consumption: Commercial car wash businesses face many restrictions on water use and disposal. Therefore, you may want to invest in low-moisture car wash products that use minimal water. The Super Max™ 6120SCW is a low moisture car detailing machine. This machine uses only 0.5 GPM, a fraction of what other pressure washers use. This machine is one of the best pressure washers for car detailing because it cleans car exteriors, melts snow, and also cleans engines. It features pressure levels of 1000 psi and temperature levels of 300°F.

4. High temperature: Hot water is particularly effective in removing grease, soot, petroleum derivatives, and similar substances from car engines and surfaces. The Super Max™ 12800SP is a steam pressure washer that can be easily mounted on a trailer. It features steam temperatures as high as 330°F coupled with a flow rate of 2 GPM and a pressure level of 1000 psi.
