Now that the worst of the winter weather has passed, it’s the perfect time to give your motor a real spring clean. And when it comes to shifting caked-on muck, a pressure washer is an essential bit of kit for doing all the hard work.
Yet with so many on the market – from the no-frills bargain basement machines to the powerful and pricey professional units – which should you buy? We tested 10 top models on a car that hadn’t been washed for months.
The Tiger rips through the pack to earn our Best Buy award. It has great performance and user-friendly features, while a steam attachment makes this brilliant washer even better. Clarke is second, with its impressive cleaning action edging the Halfords HP125 into third place.
