[TR] Sandblast or not

[dave n]

I'm going to weigh in here.  we had one of those electric washers, and it 
really didn't do the job.  1600 psi is nothing.  got rid of it

if you want to use it for anything else, forget it.  I upgraded to a 7 hp 
engine gas powered pressure washer.  with that, you can do the job!

I recently purchased this pressure washer from Lowe's for $99.

It provides a spinning tip as well as two standard tips, and a quart
container to hold degrease/soap as you spray.

Using a cleaning product named "Greased Lightening", I have degreased
and cleaned several cars in the driveway. For the money, it's hard to
beat.
