Accessories and detergents, when correctly chosen, can increase the efficiency of your pressure washer. Here is some basic information about cleaning. 5. 1. 1 Detergent and foam Foam or detergent should be applied onto dry surfaces so that the chemical product is in direct contact with the dirt. Detergents are applied from bottom to top, for example on a car bodywork, in order to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher concentration and streams downwards. Let the detergent work for several minutes before rinsing but never let it dry on the surface being cleaned. Note: It is important that the detergents do not dry up. Otherwise the surfac that has to be cleaned can be damaged. 5. 1. 2 Mechanical effect In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical effect may be required. Special wash brushes offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car washing). 9 5. 2 Typical fields of application Below you will find a description of a lot of cleaning tasks which can be solved by a pressure washer from Nilfisk in association with accessories and detergents.

If the car is very dirty, apply Car Combi Cleaner again. Attach the undercarriage nozzle and clean undercarriage and wheel arches.
