Pressure washer? Yes? No? Why?
I never really washed my car before buying the A4. Now I have both a car and motorcycle to wash. Is a pressure washer worth it? Would an electrical model be sufficient?

I have a gas pressure washer with Honda engine and it's great!!!
I (ok, my dad) was concerned about the cost to run a pressure washer on 120 volts electricity. So we brought a gas pressure washer, it's used for lots of other thing a small electric washer can't do. like really clean the driveway and the white marble on the front stairs of the house.
While using a pressure washer, just don't go to close to the paint and you won't damage it. I've used on for at least 4 years now and I couldn't live w/o it now.
Lots of peoples say to do not use pressure water on cars btu I say fvck off, they use it in audi/vw/porsche dealers, so it can't be that bad.
Sincierely, I've never harmed any car with my pressure washer and I've used it on a lot of car.

Well, I beg to differ. I've always find washing my car by hand...
... the most satisfying. I'm not saying you can't do a good job with a pressure washer but I just don't get the same feeling.
I'm sure Vincent does a great job as many have stated before but if you ask me... Of course I only have one car to wash, I could be telling another story if I had more.
Try this link Jonathan. This guy is as crazy as me with his car. Great write up for a clean freak like me

You still have to wash the car after pressure water it...
The purpose of the pressure washer is to remove dirt and grime that you could drag aroung your paint with your washing mitten. I also use it to clean wheels, I spray acid base (don't flame me, it's good if you mix it with water ) and pressure wash, it look brand new after, w/o brushing.

Re: Pressure washer? Yes? No? Why?
I saw at the toronto auto show a new cleaner with a soap/hose attatchment that eliminates drying the car by hand by mr. clean coming in april.
does that help.
