5  Fields of application and working methods

5.1 General

Efficient high presure cleaning is achieved by following a few guidelines, combined with your 
own personal experience of specific cleaning tasks. Accessories and detergents, when correct-
ly 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 body-
work, in order to avoid "super clean" areas, where the detergent collects in higher concentrati-
on 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 surface that has to be cleaned can be da maged.

5.1.2  Mechanical effect 

In order to break down tough layers of dirt, additional mechanical effect may be required. Spe-
cial wash brushes offer this supplementary effect that cuts through dirt (especially by car wash-
ing).

start from the bottom and work upwards. Let Car Combi 

  Cleaner act for at least 5 min.
2. Wash the car with the car nozzle, which has been optimized for 

quick and gentle cleaning of enamelled surfaces (the jet is wider 
and not so sharp). Start at the front of the car and work back-
wards to avoid water from penetrating by the door mouldings. 

3. Use the brush for removal of traffic film which is not removed by the 

nozzle. If the car is very dirty, apply Car Combi Clean er again. 

4.  Attach the undercarriage nozzle and clean undercarriage and 

wheel arches.  

5.  Remove water from the surface of the car with the scraper 

on the car brush.
