Cleaning a Vehicle


Prepare Area:
Use the Vario Spray Wand’s high-pressure setting (1) to remove loose dirt and grit from vehicle. Warning! Always keep the spray wand at least 8” away from your vehicle’s surface. Damage may occur at distances of less than 8”.

Apply Detergent:
Using the Vario Spray Wand’s low-pressure setting (2), apply Kärcher’s environmentally friendly All Purpose and Vehicle Cleaner detergent in large, circular movements. Work from the front to the back of the vehicle and from the bottom upward. Allow the solution to soak on the surface for 2-3 minutes for best results. Note! Do not allow the detergent to dry on the vehicle surface!

Power Clean:
Use the Vario Spray Wand’s high-pressure setting (1) to clean the vehicle and remove the detergent. Work from the front to the back and from the bottom upward. Warning! Always keep the spray wand at least 8” away from your vehicle’s surface. Damage may occur at distances of less than 8”. Kärcher’s Rotary Wash Brush can safely and more effectively remove insects or tough road film from the vehicle surface. Use the Underbody Spray Wand to clean the wheel walls and undercarriage as well as the tops of SUV’s, vans and motor homes.

Dry:
Dry the vehicle with a chamois or towel.

 

 
(1) If your Kärcher pressure washer came equipped with a Quattro-Nozzle Spray Wand, use its high-pressure fanjet setting for similar results.

(2) If your Kärcher pressure washer came equipped with a Quattro-Nozzle Spray Wand, use its low-pressure detergent setting for similar results.

For optimum results, always test a small inconspicuous area before starting a cleaning project with your pressure washer.
