Used one on my last car a few weeks ago (MY02 Passat) and it stripped a section of paint off the door panel down to bare metal I suspect that there was a chip or rust spot that allowed the jet to get 'under' the paint and it peeled right off, but it shocked me.

After that there's no way that I would use it one the S.

The nozzle is adjustable so have it on power-mist to clear the crud off before attacking with lambswool mitton, never ever use a sponge they scratch like crazy.

As for the tyre walls I think thats a load of b@lloc#s, you would have Karcher banged to rights because the picture on my Karcher box is of a man cleaning down a wheel / tyre on a car and my model is the most powerfull domestic version before you move onto industrial steam washers.

I managed to damage the outer weave of the roof getting some birdshit off.

I dunno what the shitehawk had been eating, because it wouldn't shift at all.

Maybe it etched into the plastic, or something.

If you put your finger in the way of the jet, it f ucking hurts, too.

So I can see some halfwit boring a hole in their sidewall.
