Default Car Wash
Is there a recommended car wash that is made for use in a pressure washer? The regular car washes get to diluted to do any good.

Go find an auto dealership and ask to speak to their Detail Shop Manager. Then ask who he buys his chemical products from. That will be your source for a good detergent.

Be careful of pressure washers, they can ruin paint. Also, a soap product is advisable over detergent, which can also ruin paint. Years ago I painted my 74 Maverick, and it came out really nice and shiny. A while later my X wife washed the car with floor detergent, and ruined the shine.
