Power Washing

[Dirtcrasher]

well,,, i don't mean to step on any toes but i picked up a eletric power washer today,,, + it is going right back to where i bought it tomorrow morning ! even the mrs. said it was pretty whimpy. i swear my house water pressure is equal to the out put of this one and it is supposed to rated 1300/1700 psi.
maybe it's fubar, bad from the get go,,, what ever. i'll be coming home with a gas powered "binford" type tomorrow.

I'll second that!

I have a Home Depot unit like yours and it is mostly useless. No it won't take off stickers but you can hold it right on grease and it barely touches it.

My Honda 6HP Devilbiss gas powered pressure washer will take your fingers off!!

Overall, sending pressurized water at your trike is not a good thing. So just stand back a bit and keep it moving while avoiding bearings, seals, electrical, stickers, brakes and so on.

Something else that works for cleaning your trike is to hose it off with a water hose and spray Simple Green on it. Let it sit for about 10 - 15 mins and hose off. No scrubbing.

Here's an afterthought. Although Simple Green is good, I found something that is better. It is called Greased Lightning and it works great.
Handle about the same as Simple Green and with a little light brush work on your tires it really spiffs it up. Try some, (no I don't work for the company, LOL).
