I wanted to get all of your opinions on this. I do detailing the side and generally my jobs are vehicles that are classic, luxury, exotic, or well kept daily drivers. I do your standard dirty ones as well that need some extra attention (mainly the interiors do). Recently I was in a discussion with someone about the fact I do not use a pressure washer. My reason for this is because the vehicles do not have extreme amounts of dirt and junk on them. I do use the 2 different wash mitts for the upper and lower ends of the vehicles that removes everything safely and brushes on anything else not on the paint (wheel-wells, etc). Also, I love the sheet rinsing technique after I complete the washing process that I learned from Adam's. This person feels I am not providing the proper detailing services that customers expect.
Now I can see his point, however I just feel there is no need for the pressure washer for the majority of the vehicles I detail. Occasionally I will detail some vehicles in the winter months here in CT, and on those I will generally use a pressure washer to remove the snow, salt, and other crap from the roads.
