Should I Jet wash (Undersealed)?

Fingle · Apr 19, 2013

Just been given a Karcher and Ive run out of things to blast in the back garden

.
Thoughts turning to the Landy..Thinking a good jet under there will remove the winters salt etc, its pretty well undersealed (so i guess salt isnt a massive issue) but was wondering if i may do more harm than good, ie will it blast away the protective layer ?

The layer of oxidising metal

If you aim it at the bubbles on your paintwork it'll help remove them

No no your getting that confused with a disco body oxidising

Considering a karcher would struggle to clean my dinner plates it wouldn't do any harm.

Yes it will wash of parts of the Waxoyl, at least it did on mine.

surely it depends on how you use the thing? (and what karcher it is)
mines a mid road pressure washer (halfords special!!) put it on a jet, yes it'll take off paint, underseal, and probably skin,
Put it on fan, and it washes stuff, not hard really is it??

Well if it comes off with what is little more than a glorified hosepipe, it's probably time to re-do it anyway. Saves time with the wire brush later.
