    • Washing your car with a high-pressure washer – thorough, safe and efficient

    Washing your car is part of regular vehicle maintenance – but how do you wash your car properly, thoroughly and in an environmentally friendly way? With the AQUASTORM Premium high-pressure washer, washing your car isn’t just easier – it’s also particularly effective. On this page, you’ll find out what’s important when washing your car, what’s legally permitted, and how to achieve perfect results using the right accessories.

    Why is it important to wash your car regularly?

    Washing your car regularly is about more than just how it looks. Dirt, dust, insect remains, bird droppings or road salt attack the paintwork over time and can lead to corrosion. Particularly in winter and spring, washing your car regularly and thoroughly is essential for maintaining its value in the long term.

    ➔ Protecting the car’s paintwork from environmental factors
    ➔ Maintaining the vehicle’s value
    ➔ Improved visibility thanks to clean windows and headlights
    ➔ A more enjoyable driving experience

    Is it allowed to wash your car at home?

    Whether it is permitted to wash your car on your own property depends on local regulations. In Germany, local authorities and federal states have different regulations governing private car washing. Basically:

    Washing your car on your own property is often only permitted if no dirty water seeps into the groundwater

    Car washing is permitted on paved surfaces fitted with an oil separator or suitable drainage system

    Our tip:

    Please check with your local council about the applicable regulations before washing your car. Modern high-pressure washers help to use water efficiently and comply with environmental regulations.

    Expert tips for the perfect car wash

    • Never wash in direct sunlight
    • Always clean from top to bottom. This allows the dirt to drain away downwards
    • Use pH-neutral cleaning products
    • It’s better to clean regularly than infrequently and aggressively
    • When using a high-pressure cleaner: keep a distance of 20–30 cm from the vehicle’s surface

    Steam cleaners – the perfect addition to car washing

    As well as a high-pressure washer, a steam cleaner is also ideal for car care. Hot steam is particularly effective at removing stubborn dirt, grease and odours from wheel rims, car seats and the interior – and all without the use of chemicals.

    This makes the steam cleaner the ideal addition for detailed cleaning and maintaining a hygienic standard of cleanliness in the vehicle.
