What psi out of a pressure washer is good for removing dirt and grime but still has a margin of safety with not being too powerful?



TIA
 
If you're using it for detailing, you're not looking for PSI, you're looking for GPM. It's much more important to have a higher gallons per minute than pressure. Our pressure washer is only 1500 psi, but almost 3.0 gallons per minute, and it works great.

I have a 2600 psi troybuilt w/a honda engine. It serves as a dual purpose between auto's and the house. It comes with 4 nozzles(soaking, automobile/gentle, multi-purpose and heavy duty).
