Good for patio and maybe wheels but wouldn't touch paint with it personally.

If thats what you want, better than spending £150 & not being happy!

should be fine on paint if the paint has been done properly.

Yes they're good!

Get a foam lance so you can snow foam your car with it. I'd never use the actually pressure wash on a car though.

Im a cheap skate so would never spent that on a pressure washer. I got a 2 yr old petrol one off ebay for £60 for cleaning my motox bikes and car. Its spot on has load of power and has a four stroke briggs&stratton engine so should last for ages.
