[TR] Wire Wheels and Pressure Washer

[Brian Induni]

Terry,

You didn't mention the pressure rating of this great tool, but I know I
would *NEVER* use my pressure washer to clean my 4a. At 2800 PSI, my gas
powered PW can cut wood, slice toes, and even strip paint (works great on a
peeling deck!), so just image what it would do to tires, thin sheet metal,
and trim held on with lots of hope. You're better off hiring the
neighborhood car-nut kid to do the job if you find it too tedious.

BTW, a PW is one of the greatest inventions of all time. After I bought
mine, I used it for cleaning the wonderful moss and mold that grows on
everything here in the great NorthWest. My wife has now made this *her* most
favorite tool and uses it whenever something needs to be cleaned around the
house - except the cars! :-)

Hello, all.

My wife bought me a pressure washer from Home Depot this Christmas.  Don't
know of much use for it, but rather than return it, does it do well cleaning
wire wheels, so as to do away with the Simple Green, stiff brush, and aching
muscles? I supposed I could do the engine bay and so on too....
