  • do pressure washers remove wax

    Hello all, I use Hot Rims Brake Dust Barrier, and Ultimate Paste Wax - will a pressure washer remove these products, assuming you're using appropriate pressure?

    thanks

    No, not really (assuming "appropriate pressure").

    What it may do is slowly deplete the wax though i.e. if you did it maybe 10 or 20 times it might be gone.

The silver one demands nothing and it looks just fine. I think the black vehicle is taking advantage of me, and the silver car is more my style. We can go out for a drive without her makeup and she looks fine. If I want to take the black one out, it is three or four hours in the "bathroom" to get ready.

      Proper use of a pressure won't strip these products, but once you start getting the tip of that pressure washer close to the paint you will start to have a negative impact on the wax. Heavy rain, and therefore even repeated pressure washing (even when done "correctly"), is very hard on any wax or sealant so just keep that in mind. The BDB, on the other hand, is pretty darn tenacious stuff. Even Wheel Brightener or All Wheel & Tire Cleaner won't take that off even with repeated uses so you should be good to to there.
