Default Presure washer?

After getting a pressure washer for the car, but haven't a clue which one to get. Anyone got any ideas?
Basically I want a good pressured one, without having my pants pulled down

Good Q and one i meant to post earlier.

For anyone in the know...Would a 1600W, 160bar pressure, 390l/hr water supply pressure washer be any good? Not for much other than hosing off cars really and maybe cleaning house windows.

I want something as strong as a one you'd use at a petrol station
Just haven't got a clue what sort of pressure they've got

I want to know this too. Not really fussed on price as I'm probably going to pop down B&Q or homebase to get it but want to know what pressure/ power rating I should be looking at. Again for car washing ESPECIALLY the shit built up behind the alloys and also the front bumper

if you want something like you get at the petrol stations your looking at 6-800 quid easy, thats if you can find a good second hand one. they're about 1200 quid new and the size of washing machines . Karcher is the best. halfords sell some of their own brand ones, and the 250 quid on isn't too bad, but just simply not in the same league.

I've seen some as cheap as £30. About 1400watts.

I suppose what I'm really asking is, what's powerful enough to wash the shit off of cars. And also maybe the garden tiles or something.
