I have a gas powered Honda GX-270 (3800psi & 2.5gpm), for cleaning the pool deck & tile/patio, sidewalks/driveway, house brick.....with nozzle around 6ft from surface, would strip the paint off the X if I used it!

Bought the electric Karcher 1600psi just for vehicle/lawn equipment cleaning. I will start with nozzle around 3ft away and go from there (rather leave some grime during first use vs causing damage).

Upon unboxing I found it contains the car wash kit, included a 12oz bottle of Karcher wash & wax, guess I will try that first.
